Of course, his critics are now saying that Cruz is pandering, that he’s gone soft, even flip flopped on ethanol in order to get the Iowa vote. But this is simply not the case.
Once again, Amanda Carpenter steps in to explain that Cruz’s support for a 5-year phase out is simply nothing new:
“I just listened to the Cruz audio. He said what he’s always said. RFS should be a 5 year phase out. It’s what his legislation said in 2014”
Even liberal reporter Dave Weigel is flummoxed by those alleging that Cruz is flip-flopping
“Don’t understand the “Cruz flip flopped on RFS” charge. He’s always been for a 5 year phase out. If he takes office in 2017, that ends 2022. It honestly feels like a pressure group trolled Cruz and asked reporters who don’t cover ethanol (uh, hi) to fall for it.”
Once again, Amanda Carpenter steps in to explain....
Is Amanda Carpenter still on CRuz staff? I thought she was working for CNN and CRuz Review.
It seems like folks are having to ‘step in’ to speak for CRuz, quite often.....wasn’t Levin fighting his fight with Trump, recently?
