Ted Cruz says US should not boycott Beijing Olympics: American athletes need to 'kick their commie a----'


Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Sunday said he believes it would be a "mistake" to call for a full boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and instead said American athletes should go over there and "kick their commie a----."

When pressed on whether he supported a full boycott of the Beijing Olympics next February, Cruz told CBS' "Face the Nation" that he believes it would hurt athletes who have trained for the opportunity. He said he had initially called for the Olympics to be moved out of China, but noted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) "refused to do that."

"I think it's a mistake to have a full boycott of the Olympics. Jimmy Carter tried that in the 1970s. All it did was punish a generation of athletes," Cruz said. "We've got young men and young women, Americans who spent their whole lives practicing for this moment. I don't want to punish those young athletes."..........

I disagree.

Boycott it so we can nuke the crap out of Beijing and Wuhan for the hell they've put us through the past two years.

It's hard to tell.  So far, Joe is making ole Jimmy look pretty darn good.
