Texas Senator Ted Cruz wants Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to back of gun manufacturers. The Republican senator issued a response to Emanuel’s letter to banks which do business with gun makers.
The Lone Star politician considers the former Obama administration official a bully. Cruz told gun companies that Texas banks would welcome their business and offered to personally introduce them to leading lenders.
Senator Cruz’s response to Rahm Emanuel stated:
“Your city’s longstanding policies stripping citizens of their Constitutional rights to keep and bear arms have, in turn, produced some of the very highest murder rates in the nation. Regardless, directing your attack at legitimate firearms manufacturers undermines the Second Amendment rights of Texans. In the future, I would ask that you keep your efforts to diminish the Bill of Rights north of the Red River.”
The Texas Senator’s Rahm Emanuel response also maintained the Chicago mayor was trying to deprive law-abiding citizens of the right to bear arms, the Washington Examiner notes. Mayor Emanuel’s letter was sent to both the Bank of America and TD Bank. Both banks extend a massive line of credit to two major American gun manufacturers.
Ted Cruz also told the two gun manufacturers targeted in the Chicago mayor’s letter not to hesitate to call him for assistance in relocating their funds. The Texas elected officials made note of Rahm Emanuel’s alleged nickname, “The Godfather” in his letter to the banks.
Cruz, a new senator, has garnered a plethora of positive response to his Rahm Emanuel letter on his Facebook page. Constituents are referring to the Texas Republican as a patriot and applauding his courage to speak out in support of the Second Amendment. The entire Ted Cruz letter can be read by clicking here.
Kudos to Cruz
I’m finding more reasons every day to admire Senator Cruz! Wish we had 50 more just like him!
Ted Cruz 2016
Man I like this guy Cruz!!!
If he’s not the very best in the US Senate, who is?
Senator Ted Cruz ROCKS!
Awesome. Finally someone with actual character.
I do too, given the caveat that’s it’s easy to look like John Wayne when you’re facing off with a fairy in a tuu-tuu. Who had that picture, anyway?
I like this Ted Cruze guy ! Can he run for POTUS in 2016 ?
Wow, a politician with a spine!
yes...yes...YESSSSSSS!
I was beginning to think Rand Paul was the only conservative in the Senate with some balls. Cruz 2016!!!
Why any sane gunbuilder stays in a blue state is beyond me.
Rahm Emmanuel is the embodiment of “chutzpah”. He is a disgrace for presiding over one of the most violent cities in the world. If he were a true leader, he would clean the city up like Rudy Guliani did. Instead he is spending his time bullying gun manufacturers instead of cleaning up the gang violence in his backyard. Here in San Jose, citizens were outraged when murders doubled to 42 last year compared to a few months ago. Forty-two homicides is a slow MONTH in Chicago.
If Chicago has a Violence problem they Chicago needs to declare war on Gangs and go after them like Elliot Ness did!! I mean if you see a gang member you pull them aside and frisk them if armed arrest them since most of them have records and don’t have a permit to carry. I mean do this every day until the problem is fixed!!!
Confucius say man who shoo bees away from flowers get stung many times
Maybe for tax reasons or to not have to move their employees.
No. From what I understand, he's not an NBC. I guess that doesn't matter to most folks any more though. I voted for him for senator. He was one of the very few reasons I even bothered going to the polls this past November. It certainly wasn't the presidential ticket.
Yep, it’s good to see a conservative who has spine and, if I can say this, has “balls” to stand up to liberal bullies such as Rahm.
Remember how Rahm tried to intimidate Chick Fill A during that controversy, saying they aren’t welcome unless they support homosexual marriage??? It’s the same Saul Alinsky modus operandi. And the liberal media laps it up. We need strong voices such as Cruz to call out liberals on their blatant actions such as this.
I think he was born in Canada.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s close enough—LOL! (Damn sight closer than Kenya, at least!)
