Ted Cruz Wins Internet With Tweet Exposing Media Hypocrisy
Politistick ^ | 02/15/2017 | Jennifer Burke

Posted on 02/15/2017 2:56:06 PM PST by ForYourChildren

I wish I would have tweeted this. I have literally been mentioning this moment in history to my husband for weeks now. This is something that needs to be shouted from the rooftops because it is proof positive that the attack against the Trump administration and former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn by the Democrats and their allies in the media is nothing but manufactured outraged meant to inflict harm on Trump’s presidency.

Ted Cruz ✔ ‎@tedcruz

Breaking: ABC releases video of POTUS promising "more flexibility" w/ Russia after election. Media outraged: http://tinyurl.com/jue8k2q

11:25 AM - 15 Feb 2017

------------------------

Of course, he’s being facetious because there was no media outrage. Why not? Because the POTUS in question here was Barack Obama caught on a hot mic as he made a promise to the Russians in March 2012, eight months before the general election of his re-election bid.

What with all the smashing, crushing and destroying he’s been doing lately, I’m surprised he’s had time to point out hypocrisy.

Thanks—somehow I missed that post, wherein you clearly address Cruz’s obvious shortcomings and duplicity.

His “support” of Trump now is a mile wide and an inch deep.

I have no illusions otherwise.

You know, he could have really been a force for good last year.

It’s a shame the course he elected to go down.

If he hated Trump with a passion, he should have loved the nation more and at least gone after Clinton tooth and nail for her treachery.

Ted was able to lift the veil for only 1.1 day from the day Trump got the delegates needed until the general election.

Just sad. In 2015, I backed him for V.P., POTUS after Trump, and SCOTUS after that.

Now, I don’t want him anywhere near leadership.

I know you don’t, and I’m writing this for others more than you.

Please don’t think I’m trying to convince you. I know you are aware of what I am addressing.

This doesn’t give me a lot of pleasure having to hold Ted to his own actions last year.

Take care. I appreciate your attention to this issue.

You took the words....

Never get between Croooze and a camera, especially during an election. We will be seeing plenty of heroics from starstruck Ted in the run up to his re-election.

Thank God he didn’t win the nomination. Can one even imagine how wet behind the ears he would be compared to Trump, while under the same degree of assault forces, had he won??

Ted just thought he was ready. A legend in his own mind.

Cruz’ only goal is to defeat leftism. His goal was never to promote himself, it was to the cause. Trump is the best vehicle available right now to defeat leftism.

Nice thread.

But unfortunately it turned into just a pair of Freepers congratulating each other over and over and over and over. And about what? Just pointing out their shared brilliant insight into the political goings on that allows them to detect how self serving and phony the Cruz support for Trump is.

Of course they’re wrong. Buts that’s just a detail.

Wasted a good thread. Really tiresome.

Spare us your Cruz Derangement Syndrome.

Cruz campaigned for the Trump ticket. Your statement that he didn’t try to defeat Hillary Clinton is patently false.

We’re on the same wave-length. I agree with each of your comments.

When Trump is over-producing and we are touching on issue after issue where we are winning, I not only think of Cruz, but I think of anyone else I can. I cannot think of a single person who could have hit the ground running like this guy has.

His meetings with foreign leaders have been a breath of fresh air. NATO members are now volunteering to pay more money. Trump is a human dynamo.

We are very fortunate, that he’s a human dynamo with our same goals.

I never thought I’d see the day.

Didn’t I ask you to prove he campaigned for Trump more than one day?

As I recall you didn’t respond.

On the issue of him actually endorsing Trump, I have changed my comments to reflect what he actually did. As I told you before, that had not been my understanding.

So if you can’t provide evidence of him campaigning for Trump for a broad spectrum of time, you’re going to be hung by your own claim.

Don’t come back to me with one hour of phone calls on September 23rd. Don’t come back to me with the three events he participated in on November 5th. We are all aware of them.

We’re also aware that just three days before the General Election, he refused to say the name Trump at his first of three public appearances.

Now that’s a guy on fire to beat Hillary. NOT!

Well said,DO.

He showed he loved himself more than us.

I never had such doubts with Trump.

We are on the same page.

Tiresome?

That would be Tead Curz and his blatant about face now that he has an election coming up on November of 2018.

That is a very important election to him.

The General Election in November of 2016, not important to Ted at all.

Now that’s tiresome, watching someone try to heap praise on a guy that couldn’t have care less if Hillary Clinton won the presidency.

Read this. None of this mattered to Tead.

No hypocrisy. Obama was already in office. Trump wasn’t.

Fake hate for Cruz. Gets so tiresome and bad for FR. Let me guess, Cruz is a hypocrite, not a conservative, and doesn’t love his country. He would rather have Hillary elected. Got it. And also Levin, gotta hate him too because he disagrees with Trump.

We have shared incoming before.

And we are still standing.

Some folks can’t handle the truth.

Nope. I’m not going to hide the truth.

If Ted’s name appears here, I’ll be here to set the record straight.

Thanks for checking in.

Be honest with yourself, even if you don’t want to be with me.

All his little sycophants are having a hard time grasping that what they are seeing out of Tead now, is not what they saw out of him last year.

Seriously, they just didn’t know. LOL

For months at a time we didn’t even hear from the guy, but of course now he’s everywhere.

That tells me 2018 is more important to him than 2016 was.

Once again, if we all did what Tead did last year, Hillary would be president.

I guess that would be what good Conservatives should have done. Act just like Tead.

Nope!
