She's so wrong and Cruz has been critical of Trump on Iran and China. Had to post this. What is she thinking. I know, she's not reliable to begin with. On twitter, some are calling Sergey Lavrov, well known diplomat, "Trump's Russian handler".

Opinion | It has come to this: Ted Cruz is Putin’s stooge
Jennifer Rubin

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) has spent his entire adult life touting the West’s defeat of communism in the Cold War. In July 2014, he declared to a young conservative group, “‘Mr. Putin, give back Crimea.’ Why is it so unimaginable for President Obama to utter those words?” He continued, “We need to stand up and speak out for freedom. The words that come from the president of the United States matter. President Reagan demonstrated that. One of the saddest things is President Obama doesn’t do that.”

    President Barack Obama and other world leaders have decided to end Russia’s role in the group of leading industrialized nations. . . . The move to suspend Russia’s membership in the G8 is the latest direct response from major countries allied against Russia’s annexation of Crimea.

    “International law prohibits the acquisition of part or all of another state’s territory through coercion or force,” the statement said. "To do so violates the principles upon which the international system is built. We condemn the illegal referendum held in Crimea in violation of Ukraine’s constitution.

@corbe if you can see Cruz's TV appearance this morning, it's worth checking out.

   Thanks @TomSea I'll see what I can dig up. I only have locals and CNN so don't do TV News.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

What apt thing did Cruz do or say to arouse the ire of one the WashPost's house-pet "conservatives"?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Cruz himself (or staff of course) has been tweeting periodically on this today: .

https://twitter.com/tedcruz

Cruz was on Chuck Todd and "Meet The Press", he has video clips at his twitter page...

https://twitter.com/MeetThePress/status/1203745373459828736

And Cruz also has linked to the   Daily Caller,   Right Scoop,   a lot of activity.

I am not sure if Trump was perfectly fair to the Ukraine and their president but that's not what impeachment is about, it's about hard cold facts.

Cruz just tweeted again on this in the 30 minutes... so this is a fairly big story.
