Yes, this weeping child story is all a lie.
Cruz was on the tube this morning talking about it.
He spoke with the child’s mother, he spoke with the child.
The mother said the child was happy, thrilled to meet him, everything A-OK.
God bless Ted Cruz for going on Morning Joe, of all places, and putting the lie to this fairy (probably literally) tale.
He also took on every stupid myth and phony accusation that the scoundrel Scarborough and the dimtwit Mika could throw at him.
In fact Scarborough was very uncharacteristically motivated to rouse himself and join Cruz in his defense of the domestic, economic and foreign policy positions that Cruz advanced.
I really believe that Scarborough, who has done nothing but slur and sneer at Cruz for two years, was inspired by a decent, honest, extremely intelligent conservative discussing his ideas for the country.
Mika was stifled—indeed, at one point Cruz told her that her opinions on the Iran letter were “silliness—but she was also surprised enough to conclude the interview by telling Cruz that he is “a nice man”.
I actually didn’t know she could even consider including a white straight heterosexual eligible for such an encomium.
Best ten minutes on TV this year. Cruz ran circles around her.
