Send back
word to Comrades Raul and Fidel, Sen. Ted Cruz, one of three Cuban
Canadian/American born U.S. Senators, stepped up to bat to punt a Red Herring
into Sen. Menendez of New Jersey’s DOJ Corruption investigation:
Cuban homeboy Rafael (“Ted”), fifth
columnist?, defends Cuban homeboy Sen. Menendez against Obama invented criminal charges.
Des Moines,
Iowa -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) suggested Saturday that the Justice
Department’s criminal corruption charges against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) are
political retribution against the New Jersey Democrat for opposing the White
House’s negotiations with Iran.
Cruz made
the allegations to a throng of reporters jammed into the corner of a tent
outside the Iowa Ag Summit in Des Moines without even having been asked about
the Menendez criminal charges.
“The
announcement this week by the Justice Department that they were bringing
charges against Bob Menendez — I will point out that the timing seems awfully
coincidental that … in the very week that Bob Menendez showed incredible
courage to speak out and call out President Obama for the damage that his
policy is doing to our national security … the Justice Department announces
they’re moving forward with the criminal prosecution,” Cruz said.
“It raises
the suggestion to other Democrats that if you dare part from the Obama White
House, that criminal prosecutions will be used potentially as a political
weapon against you as well,” he added.
