Cruz pushes Senate resolution praising Soleimani mission, daring Dems to oppose

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a noted Iran hawk, is circulating a resolution in the Senate that would commend the Trump administration for killing Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, aides told Fox News on Friday.

An aide said the resolution is “structured and worded the same way as a 2011 resolution that commended the Obama administration for killing Bin Laden, which received unanimous support in the Senate.” Cruz is trying to get Democrats on the record supporting the mission.

It’s an apparent effort by Republicans to try to dare Democrats to oppose virtually the same resolution the Senate adopted to applaud then President Barack Obama in 2011 after the killing of Osama bin Laden.

That’s sharp thinking.

“An aide said the resolution is “structured and worded the same way as a 2011 resolution...”

Pelosi will charge Cruz with plagiarism and impeach him.

That senile old bag just might try. LOL!

Go Cruz! One of the interesting things is that Trump is collecting a lot of “Never Trumpers,” such as Cruz and Graham, because Trump has actually shown that he has an objective, the promotion and protection of the USA, and he’s working very fearlessly to achieve that.

Sort of like sending an invitation to Omar and Tlaib to a Hannukah celebration.

“Regret that prior Congressional commitment matters preclude the Representative from attending but thank you for your gracious and thoughtful invitation extended to her.”

[jazusamo]

I think that’s a valid point.

It’s great to have a POTUS that will actually act to protect our people, military and country.

It’s a clever and beautiful trap, which the Ds can not resist. SloJoe got bit already.

Not a bad move. The Democrats are all in for cheap political points on this. Cut them off by making them go on the record I an election year. Two can play that game.

GOOD!
