EXCLUSIVE: Cruz defends Huckabee, accuses Obama of 'gutter politics'
Fox News' Todd's American Dispatch ^ | July 27, 2015 | Todd Starnes

President Obama and Jeb Bush have drawn the ire of Sen. Ted Cruz after they attacked Gov. Mike Huckabee for his comments about the Iran nuclear deal.

Huckabee said the president’s Iran policy would “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”

The president bristled at what he called a “ridiculous” comment.

“The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are just part of a general pattern we’ve seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad,” he said.

“We’ve had a sitting senator call John Kerry Pontius Pilate. We’ve had a sitting senator, who also happens to be running for president, suggest that I’m the leading state sponsor of terrorism. These are leaders in the Republican Party.”

Cruz rebuffed the president’s slap and said it was “particularly sad today that President Obama chose to engage in gutter politics – attacking Mike Huckabee by name, attacking me – both of us for standing up against this catastrophic deal – rather than defending the merits.”(continued)

So Glad to see Ted back in the press again. Said it before, I’ll say it again: Ted Cruz is Donald Trump with intelligence, finesse and class. If Ted Cruz gets the GOP nomination, he can definitely win the General.
