Ted Cruz and Lee Zeldin have sent a letter to Kerry asking for an investigation into whether or not Obama has launched a political campaign against Netanyahu before the March elections. Its a good question because we know White House officials have been throwing Netanyahu under the bus in Israeli media recently. But apparently theres a lot more too it:
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Congressman Lee Zeldin, R-NY-1, today sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry asking for information regarding media reports that U.S. taxpayer dollars are being used to fund efforts to influence upcoming elections in Israel.
Has President Obama launched a political campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu and his representatives? Sen. Cruz asked. This administrations relentless harassment of Israel is utterly incomprehensible. The Islamic Republic of Iran is pursuing the deadliest weapons on the planet, and there can be no doubt that their first target will be Israel, followed by the United States. This administration should be focusing its animosity on the very real enemies we face, not on our staunch allies.
It is completely unacceptable to use U.S. tax dollars to influence the elections in Israel, said Rep. Zeldin. State Department grants should never be given to entities working to overthrow strong allies like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We have great allies around the world, but Israel is our strongest, and a beacon of freedom in a region filled with radical Islamic extremists and state sponsored terrorism. Today, I join with Sen. Ted Cruz in calling for a U.S. Department of State investigation into this important matter.

Possibly. But every time I hear someone wrote a letter, I always remember those who say is it “a strongly worded letter”. I don’t remember what the context of it was but it is said here often.
“If he wasnt a black Islamo-Fascist gay illegal alien hed been thrown out of office by now
If he wasn’t an abortion pusher he’d have been thrown out of office by now. He wouldn’t even BE in office.
More of his kind to come. Problem is the voters.
I know and agree. But I believe Cruz means business. From what I can tell, he believes in God Almighty....

I really believe that Cruz means business. I really do believe he means that. The problem is he can’t get anything done. He hasn’t passed a bill in the Senate at all. He needs to change that. Also, he needs to stop talking and start doing. Talking is great but eventually results are needed. Walker reminds me of a guy who is a blue collar hard worker. He goes to work and doesn’t talk but just does. I am just so impressed with all of his achievements. I hate that it is a Cruz vs. Walker thing but the Walker folks didn’t make it this way. The Walker people want Cruz as Vice President as he could really get a boost on learning to complete results. But Cruz says he wants top spot or nothing.
I’ll go out on a limb here....nothing will be done about it.
And then what?
A dept of state investigation? Like that will do any good. Congress needs to conduct hearings.
When Clinton did the same thing back in ‘96, the GOP had no clue what was going on.
Cruz clearly knows how to use the internet!!!
The State Department investigating this is like the DOJ investigating the hacking of Sharyl Attkisson's computer.
