D: He champions a dishonest position that is contrary to his duties and obligations as an American lawmaker and is indefensible under candid scrutiny.

Ted Cruz: My driving belief in getting into politics was to be the leading supporter of Israel in Congress.

Also Ted Cruz: I don't understand why you are so obsessed with Israel.

No he didn’t. Cruz got flustered over AIPAC, the alleged Iranian threats to Trump. He really didn’t appreciate Tucker challenging his evangelical beliefs that modern Israel is God’s chosen ones. A bit of church and state issue, but oh well I guess

IMO it’s mostly A… he actually hasn’t gotten tested in a debate setting like that. He just resides in his little bubble and no one questions decisions.

He’s a smart guy but an idiot for not being prepared for the Tucker interview.

He took offense to everything and it was obvious Ted was just trying to have a conversation and explain his positions, and then Tucker kept on with this antics that was designed to annoy Ted and throw him off

This is Tucker's MO now. It is probably the reason Fox fired him. I'm different than you. I don't like Tucker.

watched it all too. I like both but didn’t think that was the best from Tucke


Tucker got flustered when Cruz pushed him on being a Russian stooge, specifically the grocery store propaganda video.

Ive been a fan of Tucker for years. One thing ive noticed alot lately and asked myself if he’s always done. Shower people he doesn’t like with compliments before calling them a piece of shite. Has he always done this? Ive heard him do it lately with the Murdochs, Lindsay Graham, McConnell, Chris Cuomo and a bunch of others I can’t think of right now

“Well I can tell you, ive known __________ for 25yrs. You’ll never meet a more charming, warm, funny, generous person in your life. Also though, they’re basically a blood thirsty, war mongering, liar who has no principles and is bad for America”

It’s a really mealy mouthed way to criticize people he clearly thinks are pieces of shite. Or maybe he doesn’t? Idk

Basically, Tucker is showing the world that these clown get talking points, repeat them, but dont possess true knowledge of their words


Really this is all we need to take away from this. Which I am sure most of us knew already but this should convince more people. Just like the MSM same lines same phsyop.

Cruz is a great representation of the swamp in Washington. That interview was a disaster. It was not super hard questions... It shows how deceitful these people are

And this is one of the more likable senators too.

Tucker ushered in a minimum standard for politicians.
Cruz looked like a POS and rightfully so.

Well to be fair those characteristics can be true for a person. One can be a war monger and a liar, yet charming and generous.

This is true… it’s almost like he forgot he was participating in a recorded interview… his arguments and stances are so far removed from the average Texan I imagine…

I bet they chose him for the Senate.


AIPAC didn't support Cruz when he first ran for the senate, so that's a dumb take
