On Sundays broadcast of CBSs 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 Bidens son Hunter Biden regarding his business ties.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: So Chinas 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 its not the business of- of foreign countries, any foreign countries, to be interfering in our elections.
BRENNAN: Even Ukraine? I mean when youre talking about some of this, I mean do you think that- say the presidents personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, whos been talking about China, whos 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. Thats true for Russia. Thats true for Ukraine. Thats true for China. Thats true for all of them. It should be the American people deciding elections. I- I dont know what Rudys 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 itd make a lot of sense for Rudy to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Thats- thats ultimately a question for the committee chairman, Lindsey Graham. But- but Id like to see Rudy testify. Yes.

Cruz thinks he can play nice and be a reach across the aisle glad hander. WRONG! That is precisely how we have gotten where we are today.
I’m sure they’ve tried to find something. If President Trump had one you can bet they’d try to find dirt on his hamster.
Ole Ted still has butt hurt! STFU!
Ted is a terrific debater so there is no excuse for falling for this gotcha question. He could easily have said why was Hunter given millions and why was Joe bragging about getting a prosecutor fired. But no he gave the Rat just what they wanted didn’t he.
Shut the f*ck up Ted.
Why dont you spend some more time taking in Trudeau, your fellow countryman, and leave matters of The Republic to the man who humiliated you in the Primaries.
Youd be out on your ass and beaten by Robert Francis if Trump hadnt personally intervened in the Senate election last year.
” I- look, of course not. Elections in the U.S. should be decided by- by Americans”
Who should be informed if the candidate is a crook. And if the candidate is a crook, he should be prosecuted, regardless of his ambitions.
