MSNBC host Chuck Todd mocked Texas Sen. Ted Cruz after he defended his Republican colleague Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy’s claims that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election.
During a Meet the Press interview on Sunday, Todd asked Cruz bluntly, “Do you believe Ukraine meddled in the election in 2016.â€
Cruz paused, then responded, “I do, and I think there’s considerable evidence.â€
“You do?†Todd responded as laughter broke out from the set of his show.
He continued, “Senator, this sort of strikes me as odd. because you went through a primary campaign with this president. He launched a birtherism campaign against you. He went after your faith. He threatened to quote ‘spill the beans on your wife’ about something. He pushed a National Enquirer story, which we now know he had a real relationship with the editors.â€
