U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz let it rip on Saudi Arabia during a radio interview in Houston on Tuesday for damaging the Texas oil economy by driving down prices.

“What they’re doing is taking advantage of this public health crisis to try to bankrupt Texas shale producers,” Cruz said in an interview with conservative radio host Michael Berry on AM 740 KTRH radio.

Cruz said the Saudi’s have tried to deflect criticism by claiming Russia is to blame, not them.

Cruz said he left the ambassador with a stern warning that if the Saudis continue waging an economic war against Texas there will be a price to pay.

“If you’re going to behave like an enemy, you can damn sure expect to be treated like an enemy,” he said.

Saudi Arabia has never been nor will ever be our friends.  Sometimes we have mutual interests,  that's it.

So much for Cruz being smart.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
