Ted Cruz Toys With Kerry, Carter, Moniz: "Sir, Do You Apologize Or Not?"

Ted Cruz eats up all his time playing word games with Secretary Kerry and making Secretary Moniz trip over his own words, and then gets cut off by John McCain before he can ask Kerry to clarify what he meant by this unbelievable remark: John Kerry Explains Why Iran Deal Is Not Legally A Treaty: "You Can't Pass A Treaty Anymore"

TED CRUZ: General Sulemani, the commander of Iran's Quds Forces has more American blood on his hands than any living terrorist. Under this agreement, the sanctions on Gen. Sulemani are lifted. Sec. Kerry said to the families of those who lost their lives, who were killed by Gen. Sulemani, should apologize. Sec. Carter, I understand that the joint personnel agency has a classified list of about 500 Americans who were killed by Iranian IEDs. I would ask Sec. Carter, so that we can do what Sec. Kerry suggested. That the Defense Dept. release that list for every member of this committee, declassify that list and make it available to the families of those killed by Gen. Sulemani.

ASHTON CARTER: Let me look into that.

JOHN KERRY: I never said the word apology, I never mentioed apologizing. I said we should thank them for their extraordinary service. I never said apologize. Please don't distort my words.

CRUZ: Sec. Kerry, it is duly noted that you do not apologize to the families of the service members who were murdered by the Iranian military.

KERRY: That is not what I said.

CRUZ: Do you apologize or not? I don't want to put words in your mouth.

KERRY: I thank them for their

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams " Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." - John Quincy Adams

Cruz brings the BOOM!!!!!

Love it.

[southernindymom]

McCain, McConnell, Boehner, Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, Obama, no difference what so ever with these guys. They all sing out of the same hymnal. We need to get rid of all of them.

[P-Marlowe]

So the Treaty with Iran is a treaty, but since Obama could never get enough votes to get it approved, we’ll just call it something else.

And these clowns take an oath to uphold the Constitution? What Constitution?

[Nachum]

The list, Ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Lurch brought a bottle of ketchup to a battle of wits.

The hammer comes down again. Cruz and Trump are leaving bruised behinds all over the place.

“then gets cut off by John McCain “

John McCain riding to the rescue of his fellow Vietnam Vet.

[SharpRightTurn]

“Cruz ... gets cut off by John McCain”

McCaniac has to protect his buddy Kerry from the “wacko bird.”

[CatherineofAragon]

This is what happens when you try to outwit Cruz.

[clintonh8r]

McQueeg jumps in to save his fellow traitor Kerry.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Sec. Kerry, it is duly noted that you do not apologize to the families of the service members who were murdered by the Iranian military.

And that is why people on both sides of the aisle are afraid of Ted Cruz.

[G Larry]

McCain (Referring to John Kerry):
“And I promised the witnesses that I would get them out.”

Oh...you did Mac. You bailed out Kerry once again....

[austinaero]

Sir Cruz, it IS duly noted that POS SOS still has NOT apologized to those families.

[lewislynn]

OH Geez, Am I the only one sick of all this apology crap? It doesn't solve a frigg'n thing.

It only makes the one asking/begging for an apology look like the fool.

GROW UP!

[Grams A]

Add Hatch, Cornyn and Alexander to that list - and probably a whole lot more.

tonight we begin with a man who i believe is the most dangerous politician on the american right. in october 2007 i sat in the media gallery of the united states supreme court and watched the solicitor general of texas argue on behalf of the state that he should have the ability to put to death a mexican national, jose, who had been convicted of raping and murdering two teenage girls in houston. he won that argument and he was executed by texas on august 5th , 2008 , despite the objections of the united nations and the international court of justice . at the time, i had no idea who this man arguing on behalf of texas was. but all i could think was holy crap , this guy is good. it was one of his nine times arguing before the supreme court and he was witty, incredibly fast on his feet and clearly had a brilliant legal mind. it is to this day one of the most impressive displays i have ever seen before the court and i have had the good fortune to spend a lot of time there. so you can imagine my horror in 2012 when i tuned into the texas senate race. i hadn't been paying much attention to. and realized that lieutenant governor david dewhurst , the republican establishment candidate, was being prepared by a tea party candidate who was the same guy i saw kick ass in the supreme court in 2007 . i thought that night, night i made that connection, oh, this is trouble. and trouble that man has been. trouble in every direction. as he vies to be the singular voice of the right wing grassroots and as he has very quickly assumed a leadership role in movement. he's a man who combines the intellectual credentials and pedigree of barack obama , with the raw right wing populist appeal of sarah palin . his full name is rafael edward cruz .

And that comes from ultra leftist Chris Hayes

Is Ted Cruz the most dangerous man on the American right?

[Dr. Thorne]

Listen to these lying weasels squeal when Cruz shines the light on their mendacity. He does the right thing - he just whacks them and moves on. There is no point in trying to engage a liar whose lies will not be revealed by the MSM.

[RightGeek]

And McCain - FU and the dumb slut you rode in on
