Cruz Delivers Forceful Speech Denouncing Anti-Semitism

Cruz Delivers Forceful Speech Denouncing Anti-Semitism

Texas senator Ted Cruz took to the Senate floor Thursday afternoon to denounce anti-Semitism moments before the Senate unanimously passed his bipartisan resolution condemning all forms of anti-Semitism.

"We're living in an era where the need for a strong and clear condemnation of anti-Semitism has become acute," Cruz said.

Cruz then went on to discuss the uptick in anti-Semitic attacks and violence in the United States and abroad, highlighting such horrific incidents as the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh which killed eleven people.

"We have seen the growth on our college campuses of movements to aggressively boycott products made by Jews in Israel," he continued, highlighting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

During his speech, Cruz pointed to the House of Representatives’ failure to pass a resolution earlier this year specifically condemning anti-Semitism after Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) made numerous anti-Semitic remarks including insinuating American Jews have a dual loyalty to Israel. ..........

He's really going out on a limb with this; very brave. That's why we all love him.

@TomSea

What's this "we all" stuff? You pregnant?

He IS doing MUCH better now than he used to do,but he still has the stink of John McLunatic attached to him,and I still don't trust him. I'm not the only one,either.

@sneakypete John McCain and Ted Cruz?   I think you've got the wrong guy, Pete.  What did Cruz have to do with McCain?

@Sanguine

Maybe I am wrong,but I seem to remember him being wishy-washy and voting with McLunatic more than the conservatives. He and Lady Lindsey,both. Both ARE doing MUCH better now that McLunatic is planted,but I still have trust issues with both while praising them for taking good stands for a change.

FWIW,Cruz WAS more reliable than Lady Lindsey,but that's not saying much. Praising with faint damns.

Cruz wishy-washy and voting along with McCain??  Now I definitely know that you have him confused with someone else.  Cruz has one of the most conservative voting records of any Senator.

Could be. I think I am going to follow Denny Crane's lead and start claiming Mad Cow instead of Chemo Brain.
