“I wasn't in the meeting with the president so I don’t know what he did or didn't say. I can tell you my family, Heidi as a child lived in Africa, she lived in Kenya and Nigeria. Her parents were missionaries there. My brother-in-law has been a missionary with his wife and sons in Haiti for many years,” Cruz said.
President Trump denied using the vulgarity.
“The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country,” Trump tweeted Friday morning.
Cruz said the approach he tries to take in Washington is to stay out of the nastiness, attacks and insults and focus on substance and results instead.
Cruz and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner were both asked to respond to the president’s reported statement during a news conference about tax breaks and federal funding for Harvey flood victims.
“The comments were highly unfortunate and shameful. We are an inclusive society. Every person has value. Every community is important and we should be lifting up and not tearing down,” Turner said.

Thanks for that information. Not a Cornyn fan either, but that response was masterful. Cornyn has his eye on the bigger picture, while Cruz has his eye on...himself.
We used to rag Obama for his I, I, I, me, me, me self-focus. Move over Obama, you’ve got company.
K,genius.
This was my comment. And you think it's anti-conservative?
I'm making a point that Canadians are caring people and quite civil in their treatment of people. Ted being born there, he just can't help being the same.
On the other hand, we've got the Lynin' Ted factor so maybe you've got a point.
Cute.
As long as you continue trashing good conservative representatives like Ted Cruz, you are part of the problem. I encourage you to embrace the truth that the primaries are long over, and to move on.
I’m not exactly a Cruzer, but every once in awhile he makes a good point or two.
I’d rather have him than juan mclame, linda grahamnesty, mitch the bitch, or stupid collins being a Republican Senator.

I will not make any further attempt to penetrate your obstinate willful ignorance.
Testimony at senate hearings alone should be enough, but his 100% record in appelate courts is the icing on the cake.
Stubborn is as stupid does.

>> “You’re a phony. Every chance you get to hate on Ted Cruz, you take it. You preach ‘love’ and practice hatred.” <<

The out-of-bounds approach of the newsman was the only element in view.
Have a herpetologist check your cranium!

May God bless and keep you both, and bless Senator Cruz and his family also.
Go back to Catholic bashing which is about the only thing you do with any consistency. Stupidly but consistently.

Why do catholics always see the scriptures as “bashing?”
