Ted Cruz: It Is ‘Not’ Appropriate for Trump to Ask China to Investigate Biden Family
Breitbart ^ | 13 Oct 2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/13/2019 11:52:49 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

On Sunday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said it was not appropriate for President Donald Trump to ask China to investigate 2020 presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden regarding his business ties.

Partial transcript as follows:

MARGARET BRENNAN: So China’s a- a surveillance state. Is it appropriate for President Trump to be saying–

CRUZ: Yeah.

BRENNAN: –China should look into the Biden family? Is that appropriate?

CRUZ: I- look, of course not. Elections in the U.S. should be decided by- by Americans and it’s not the business of- of foreign countries, any foreign countries, to be interfering in our elections.

BRENNAN: Even Ukraine? I mean when you’re talking about some of this, I mean do you think that- say the president’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who’s been talking about China, who’s been talking about Ukraine. Do you want to hear him testify about this sort of shadow foreign policy?

CRUZ: Listen, foreign countries should stay out of American elections. That’s true for Russia. That’s true for Ukraine. That’s true for China. That’s true for all of them. It should be the American people deciding elections. I- I don’t know what Rudy’s been saying. I- I do know though that we should decide our elections. It should be the American people making those decisions.

BRENNAN: And you do want him to testify before your committee?

CRUZ: I think it’d make a lot of sense for Rudy to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. That’s- that’s ultimately a question for the committee chairman, Lindsey Graham. But- but I’d like to see Rudy testify. Yes.

What a dweeb response. If Biden murdered someone in China, does anone in their right mind think the president should not ask China to investigate. The US sure as heck doesn’t have the authority to kick down doors in China.

Now, as you drop down from murder which crimes are it okay for Americans to commit in China? Extortion, blackmail, money laundering...which ones are fine and dandy?

Greed demands more and more money,

Canuck Ted is dirty.

He is NOT a US citizen and could be why he is being blackmailed by the Deep State.

It is not appropriate for Ted Cruz to open his mouth.

Whoops.

Since when is POTUS not the Chief Law Enforcement agent of USA? What _is_ needed is a POTUS who mounts up with a company of USMarines and arrests those who involved in the coup ‘d’état. A coup which denies USAians their right to constitutional government.

High criminals and traitors are not exempt their crimes against USA because they are running for political office. What a DC centric (twisted) view of law.

Was it appropriate for the Clinton Foundation to solicit funds/bribes from foreign governments and their representatives from around the world?........

So why hasn't this case been brought before the public? Had to search late night talk radio or a conservative website for any mention on the details.

I tell you the double standard of justice is going to have bad result soon. Where is the 24/7 coverage to the slobbering, low IQ American people who say Trump was wrong on Ukraine? The fools.

When good people refrain from vengeful and spiteful actions against bad people there is no reward, despite the major religions.

Just now: 1)Trump Admin refrained from arresting the coup perpetrators Comey,Brennan,McCabe despite evidence of their lies under oath. They are working on a coup!!

2) Today’s news:Rep.Tlaib wants people “detained” (jailed!) for not complying with self-incriminating kangaroo court tactics. No mercy. Maxine already wants prison AND “solitary confinement” for President Trump. At 2016 GOP convention convention he stopped “Lock Her Up” chanting with “No, no, let’s just win the election in November.” Nice guy.

By being soft a cuddly good little boys the Trump people are meeting Satan’s crew of vicious monsters.

Stop doing that.

Cruz was born in Canada and he has never produced the standard US Government Form that substantiates he is an American citizen with US parent(s).

Allegedly, BOTH his parents had become Canadian citizens at the time of his birth and why the US form was never obtained.

Regardless, it is up to Canuck Ted to prove he is a US citizen...IF he can.

Ted Cruz was silent for a week while the Border Emergency debate raged and POTUS needed his support. Then I see him flapping his gums about things like this and I am reminded how useless US Senators are. All of them.
