Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) isn't backing off the tough rhetoric he's used to describe the Iran nuclear deal, despite criticism leveled by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday.
Cruz has steadfastly maintained that President Barack Obama's administration would become a leading state-sponsor of terror if the agreement it struck with Iran makes it past Congress. He and others have argued that Iran would use a windfall from sanctions relief to finance terror abroad.
Both Obama and Romney have called Cruz's remarks inappropriate.
Romney wrote on Twitter early Thursday that he also opposes the Iran deal, but said Cruz's comments were "way over the line on the Obama terrorism charge. Hurts the cause."
Cruz, 2016 presidential candidate, fired back at Romney in a Thursday radio interview with KFYO's Chad Hasty.
"So Mitt Romney's tweet today said, 'Gosh, this rhetoric is not helpful,'" Cruz said. "John Adams famously said, 'Facts are stubborn things.' Describing the actual facts is not using rhetoric; it is called speaking the truth."(continued)

When push comes to shove the elites stick together. Keep shoving Ted.
Who said he’s “worrying”
Took him all of a 5 second comment to shoot Milt’s boat right out of the water.
Time well spent if you ask me.
Yeah, that smarmy “I’m not going to lower myself to your level” smile did not win him many votes, I think.
Only Cecil and Seamus worried about Romney.
Look what it got them.
if you hate Mitt, a has been presidential candidate, you ain’t seen nothin yet
the has been president Barack Obama, a boy who organized Chicago, is coming soon
W never fought back against his attackers. That’s how he ended his second term with a 27% approval rating, the lowest since Nixon. Ted Cruz is wise to defend his character and honor. Back in the day, they did it at dawn with pistols at twenty paces because honor meant more then than it does in our present Age of the Wimp.

I voted for Virgil Goode.
Trump and Cruz need a wheelbarrow for their testosterone producing glands. The rest couldn’t fill a “fun size” raisin box between them.
Me, too. Excellent choice.
You're so right. Because the GW Bush don't-respond approach worked so well.
OMG, this brave, honest, fearless man just gets better every day. I keep expecting him to act like the republican usually acts and apologize. AND HE DOESN’T!!!!!!!
I haven’t admired anyone like I admire Ted Cruz in many years. God Bless and protect him.
Mitt Romney was the biggest Milk Toast in an empty suit that has Ever run for President. He errantly thinks he has any credibility to advise anyone in how to conduct a campaign. The media needs to ignore his ridiculous butt.
Romney lost because he thought that he could cruise to victory after Obama flubbed the first debate. It turns out that he should have Cruzed to victory by keeping on the attack.
And that’s where you understanding of 21st century campaigns fails you.
This is exactly what Cruz should be doing. You don’t allow remarks like this to be broadcast without response. That is basically a shot without return fire.
The CRUZ MISSILE!
Well, we have two people on our side who have cajones, Trump and Cruz.
Oh he fought back, when it was against Conservatives during the Primaries.
> Doesnt Cruz have better things to do than worry about what Romney is tweeting? If he doesnt, he should drop out now.
He probably spent about 2 minutes swatting that fly out of the way. With prejudice.
Perfect....”shut up loser”
