I wasn't in the meeting with the president so I dont know what he did or didn't say. I can tell you my family, Heidi as a child lived in Africa, she lived in Kenya and Nigeria. Her parents were missionaries there. My brother-in-law has been a missionary with his wife and sons in Haiti for many years, Cruz said.
President Trump denied using the vulgarity.
The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country, Trump tweeted Friday morning.
Cruz said the approach he tries to take in Washington is to stay out of the nastiness, attacks and insults and focus on substance and results instead.
Cruz and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner were both asked to respond to the presidents reported statement during a news conference about tax breaks and federal funding for Harvey flood victims.
The comments were highly unfortunate and shameful. We are an inclusive society. Every person has value. Every community is important and we should be lifting up and not tearing down, Turner said.

How are your responses when a live mike is shoved in your face?
Cruz did well; not so much the other guy.
.
.
Cruz stopped further questions. I’d say it was just what was needed for the occasion.
.
.
>> “Cruz is an inarticulate boob.” <<
Cruz is probably one of the ten most articulate men to ever hold a Senate seat.
Get that foot out of your mouth!
.
Trump lied about Cruz too, so theres that.
Probably won't happen as it is likely in that same place as his Congressional Medal of Honor that he cannot find.
Did you use the word “effluent” instead of “affluent” on purpose?
Calculating, and Trump isnt.???
Geez, you acolytes beat anything I ever stepped in.
Yes, and that’s why Mr. Articulate insulted two men at the same time, when he was clearly trying to polish his own resume.
As stated, he’s an inarticulate boob. He can’t help himself.
.
Another bad trip?
That powder is going to be your end.
.
.
You are making a fool of yourself for no good reason.
.
What the hell is it with you folks, and you inability to see Ted Cruz for the calculating jerk he is. Here he does it one more time, and it flies over your head as have so many other idiotic statements in his past.
What has his wife’s childhood got to do with anything? What does his brother’s life have to do with anything?
The fact of the matter is, they were overseas to help folks who are living in substandard conditions.
You didn’t know that?
Trump does calculate, and it’s intended to be on behalf of the United States, to advance policy that will help the nation.
Ted does it to polish his own apple.
Tell me, do you see a difference. NO, never-mind.
You folks can’t see beyond the end of your own nose.
LOL, Ted was making a foll of himself for no good reason.
I called him on it, and you’re here with the roll of toilet paper.
Good luck!
.
You make zero sense.
Cruz sent their attack off into never-never land.
Cruz stated that he tries to stay out of the gutter, and get things done.
Why mention the gutter if you don’t think Trump got into it?
Once again, it’s dear old Ted, talking about himself in a way that would have to contrast with someone else, or why even make the statement?
You don’t get this do you.
You couldn’t have said it better.
.
>> “Why mention the gutter if you dont think Trump got into it?” <<
The obvious implication was that the “newsman” was in the gutter.
Seek help soon!
Okay, then Ted was seeking to express the opinion it would be better for the newsman to simply try to implement good policy, rather than to get into the gutter.
Okay. Now I understand. Thanks. /s
Ted went into explaining what he does, by comparison. You honestly think he was expressing a comparison with the newsman?
It seems to me you really have to twist things to get Ted off the hook.
Even then, it doesn’t work.
Critical thinking escapes the acolytes. The references to family mission work validated Trumps assessment that these are placed of extreme poverty.
LOL
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha...
Now that was good.
Just light your Trump candles and leave thinking to, well, thinkers.
