Over the past few weeks, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has shown the difference Senate Conservatives Fund seeks in our candidates. In a series of high-profile showdowns, Cruz did not simply weather the storm. He was the storm.
First, Cruz stood up to Joe Biden’s feckless Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, when he tried to defend the Administration’s historically terrible record on foreign policy.
“When Joe Biden became president,” Cruz said, “he inherited peace and prosperity in the world. We now have two simultaneous wars waging: the worst war in Europe since World War II, and the worst war in the Middle East in 50 years. Both, I believe, were caused by this administration's consistent weakness.”
On Israel, on Russia, on Iran, whenever Blinken tried to dodge with political rhetoric, Cruz dropped the hammer with facts.
“At every stage, you have been telling Israel ‘do not kill the terrorists’.”
“Why [is Iran] selling 10 million barrels [of oil] a day compared to 300,000?"
“In a very real sense, this administration — you and President Biden — funded the October 7 attacks by flowing $100 billion to a homicidal, genocidal regime that funded those attacks.”
Two days later, there was the confirmation hearing for a judge, nominated by President Biden, who recently transferred a 6’2” serial rapist and convicted child molester to a women’s prison because he now identifies as trans.
As you know, most Republicans are terrified of these issues. Ted Cruz … isn’t.
He didn’t beat around the bush. Did the other women in that prison “have the right not to have a 6’2″ man who is a repeat serial rapist put in as their cellmate?” Cruz asked.
When the judge tried to change the subject, Cruz dropped the mic: “It is clear on your record your political ideology matters a heckuva lot more than the rights of the women that you endangered. I think you’re a radical, and I think you have no business being a judge.”
Later that same week, CNN tried to bait Cruz with questions about accepting the election results this November.
This is where polite, well-behaved Republicans are trained to sit and roll over like puppies for Swamp media elites. Ted Cruz? Not so much.
“That’s a ridiculous question,” he told the astonished anchor. “We have an entire election law system that people challenge elections, elections get overturned, voter fraud gets proven. That happens all the time, and the media engages in this weird game, post-Donald Trump, that you insist no voter fraud has ever existed.”
All three exchanges are worth watching.
And Ted Cruz is worth supporting in 2024.
His seat is the Democrats’ #1 target this election cycle — one that Establishment Republicans would be happy to see him lose.
We can’t let that happen. It’s up to conservatives to make sure Ted keeps giving the Swamp headaches for years to come.
He’s fighting for us — we will keep fighting for him.
