Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, blasted MSNBC anchor Brian Williams on Friday as a "pitiful example of corrupt corporate media" after Williams accused the senator of sharing "Russian propaganda."
Cruz condemned a controversial new U.S. Army recruitment video, arguing that it's intended to promote a "woke, emasculated military." The original ad features Cpl. Emma Malonelord, a soldier raised in California by two moms, showing her attending LGBTQ protests, before following her journey to joining the Army.
The ad got so much negative feedback on YouTube that the comments section was disabled. But the TikTok video Cruz shared and responded to on Twitter contrasts the Army video with an ad from Russia's military featuring a muscular man hitting the gym and jumping out of planes.
At the end of his program, Williams called Cruz's remarks a "remarkably stupid lapse in judgment" while pushing the new nickname "Kremlin Cruz." Williams also suggested Cruz one day wants to be president of Russia.
Cruz pushed back against this assertion by listing at least three flaws in Williams' argument.
One, Cruz said, "I hate communists, my family was imprisoned & tortured by communists, and Brian is a shameless apologist for Russian (and Chinese and Cuban) communists."
Two, "I was arguing that our military needs to be able to kick the ass of Russian soldiers. It’s Brian & his lefty comrades that are working relentlessly to diminish the effectiveness of the U.S. military—the finest fighting force on the face of the planet."
And thirdly, he wrote, "JUST THIS WEEK Biden gave Putin a multi-billion-dollar gift, when he waived mandatory U.S. sanctions to allow Russia to build Nord Stream 2, a massive natural gas pipeline to Germany. Who authored the sanctions that STOPPED NS2? That would be me."

Well said Ted, no act on it
When you think of a man that allows his wife to have sex with strangers, that would be Brian Williams.
The King of Cuckolds.
Isn’t Brian W. the TV reporter who was ‘temporarily fired’ for LYING about his past reporter experiences?
When his network though enough views forgot the disgrace, they brought him back on the air.
If you're talking about the sanctions Biden lifted them.
Even Tom Brokaw hates Brian Williams. Williams was always yukking it up on the Late Night shows. The guy is a complete joke.
“Is there a more pitiful example of corrupt corporate media than Brian Williams?” Cruz asked, before hitting him as “a left-wing hack at MSNBC.”
Last year US media was push Iranian and ChiCom state propganda.
Yep, fired by NBC for lying about a RPG attack on a helicopter in Iraq.

He gets hired by MSNBC after a suitable hiatus, then resumes his fabrications.
[no]Brain Williams....a college dropout and Fake News creator and distributor...Likely a Commie and definitely a fascist.
What these polished little leftist liars like Williams need is a good hard smack in the mouth.
He had lots of lies. The one that was famous in Israel was a claim about being shot at in a helicopter with the gunner doors open.
We have no such helicopter in our arsenal.
I also remember him lying about a suicide in front of him in a stadium to make Bush look bad. I assume that was Katrina, but don’t recall.
If Russia was still communist the Left and Media would speak of them as often as they do ChiCom political meddling.
Which isn’t much.
Here is a story about this fake I don’t recall.
Do tell.
Brian Williams is like Blumenthal and Kerry who lied about their Viet Nam War service to further their own careers and like Hillary Clinton lying about dodging bullets on an overseas trip. Lied about his own war stories but got caught.
lol!
The leftists need to decide if they’re for or against Russia.
