Sen. Ted Cruz to attend U.S. Embassy opening in Jerusalem

WASHINGTON — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is among a handful of Republican senators expected to attend the controversial opening of the new American Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, his office has confirmed.

The trip comes roughly five months after President Donald Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and announced plans to relocate the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv.

Cruz, who has long called for such a move, praised the decision as “courageous and heroic.” But many Arab and European leaders slammed Trump for upending a decades-old foreign policy in which U.S. presidents declined to weigh in on the contested city, leaving the issue to be resolved in peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis. Both groups claim Jerusalem as their capital.

Cruz will be joined by Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina

Thank you for making yourself very clear.

You’re wrong, though.

The truth is, we do need conservatives like Cruz, and those who support him, in order to push the Trump agenda (which is a good one).

Never-Cruzers have been the nastiest people on Free Republic. And they remain the nastiest people on FR. Remember during the primaries (over 2 years ago) when they would post such hateful memes about Cruz? To refresh your memory, here are some of the memes they posted here:

WINNING!!! Blue wave - Dhimmicrats are watching the Tidy Bowl in action!

Democrats’ so called “assured” Blue wave, 2018 Election Dreams Could End Up as a Blue Wave Nightmare! If they were on track to beat us, the DNC would not be borrowing money!

Dem’s 2018/20 Blue Wave shown below:

Thanks to Navy Patriot and ObozoMustGo2012 for the above!

Funny, i remember seeing maybe three of those graphics on FR.

Seems to me you and your search engine might be a tad dishonest.

I KNOW you’re full of it when you whine about “such hateful memes about Cruz.” First, because you and yours are crying the same thing about the little jabs at Cruz on this very thread, acting like he’s receiving death threats.

Next, what was said about Cruz WAS NOTHING next to what Cruzers contrived to metaphorically whip Trumps burgeoning support back under Ted’s banner.

Ted was always our fall-back guy if Trump imploded...that is, until y’all got involved in “supporting” him. Thanks to Ted Cruz FR supporter, MANY alpha FReepers wouldn’t support Cruz for dog catcher, now.

You’re calling me a liar. Nice.

I did the research 2 years ago, pulling those exactly images from posts shared here on Free Republic. Every one of those memes appeared here on FR.

And I’m not whining. I’m simply pointing out the inexplicably harsh vitriol that some FReepers continue to have toward a good conservative Senator, 2 years after the dang primary ended.

Sorry, using phrases like “inexplicably harsh vitriol” IS whining AND lying, by definition. Look it up.
