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 doesnt need any dirty money. He gets plenty of legal money through his wifes job with Goldman Sachs. I hope she had her high-powered job before he became a Senator.
WHY in the HELL NOT?
I'd say... It Is "Not" Appropriate for you, Mr. Cruz, to 2nd guess the President.
Cruz is being an A$$HOLE, as he does from time to time.
He is NOT a “solid ally” of the president.
He is constantly criticizing the president IN PUBLIC.
An ally doesn’t do that.
Absolute wisdom right here.
Quasi ally.
Cruz using the false narrative of election interference. Hey Ted, its government corruption, nitwit! As far as I know, Hunter Biden isnt running in any US election. And Joe Biden hasnt won the Democrat primary yet.
There he is! Heeeeee’s baaaack!
Just when we didn’t need his input, he once again throws a bone to the Leftists. No, I take that back. He doesn’t toss it, he goes over and puts it in their mouth.
The Leftist media is chewing on it right now.
This is why I have avoided supporting Newt, Ted, Glenn, and Mark.
They are good at times, which sets up a lot of people to think they’re always going to be solid, until it comes time for them to really hurt the effort.
I knew little about Ted when he first announced in 2015. After hearing Trump I was all in by August of 2016. At that time I surmised it would be Trump for 8 years, Ted for 8 years, and the SCOTUS for Ted until DDUP.
Today I wouldn’t back Ted for anything. If he has any ideas about 2024, he should go fishing instead.
Trump has never asked any Chinese official to investigate anyone. He expressed an opinion that China should investigate the unusual investment partnership with the Bank of China that Hunter Binden was able to secure based on the introduction he arranged between its CEO and his father, the VP of the US. Based on Hunter Biden’s experience and background this is highly suspicious on its surface as many US news sources pointed out in articles at the time. Trump shares their suspicions.
Is Biden somehow immune from criminal investigation because he is a candidate for President? Why was the FBI using the Steele dossier to get FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign in 2016? If it had been verified that Trump had committed actual crimes the electorate has a right to know.
The problem with Trump evidence was that it was paid for opposition research from the DNC and Clinton campaigns and not legitimate investigative evidence from credible sources which is a fraud and a crime in itself. Legitimate law enforcement investigations are not paid for out of campaign funds.
Take it easy. I know these are crystal clear simple issues, but this is Ted were talking about.
Pity the man...
Smile...
China is like the DemonicRat party. Cant be trusted.
No sense of humor ted Cruz.
By releasing this statement, Hunters' lawyer has given credibility to Trumps' concerns about investigating Hunter Bidens' business relationship with China.
Now people like Chuck Todd can't dismiss these claims:
Hunter Biden stepping down from Chinese firm, vows no foreign work if father wins in 2020
A leopard cannot change its spots. Can they?
This. It is NOT appropriate for Ted and Mitt to continually run their antiTrump mouths.
First, Trump did not ask China to investigate anyone. Second, China isn’t going to investigate bribes they themselves paid to anyone.
But by bringing it up, Trump has the whole world talking about China bribing Biden.
If Cruz doesn’t see that, he isn’t as smart as he pretends to be.
So, yes, maybe Cruz does see the game.
How about you shut your stupid, lying mouth, Ted, you jackass.
Repellent Ted, at it again. You’d think he would have learned by now.
Cruz, Rubio, Romney, and McCain....do they all have issues
about their masculinity? None of them seem to have handled very well at all failing where President Trump succeeded.
