"Absurd": Amy Klobuchar Denounces Ted Cruz's Smear of Barack Obama
Source: mother jones
"But none of the lawmakers went nearly as deep into right-wing fantasyland as Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Cruz invoked President Donald Trumps invented claim that President Barack Obama was personally involved in ginning up an investigative witch-hunt into Trumps 2016 campaign. He then alleged that Obama, rather than Trump, was guilty of abuses worse than Watergate. What the Obama-Biden administration did in 2016-2017 makes everything Richard Nixon even contemplated pale in comparison, Cruz said.
Cruz was trying to reinforce Trumps effort to construct an alternative reality in which the current presidents abusesincluding his campaigns effort to benefit from Russian election interference and his attempt to pressure Ukraines president to announce a baseless investigation of Joe Bidenare somehow less serious than the imagined transgressions of his predecessor.
(Klobuchar) railed against the hearing itself, portraying it as an absurd distraction from more important legislative priorities, including the coronavirus pandemic. Then she blasted Cruzs remarks.
We could also be doing so many other things on the pandemic, on the effect that the pandemic has had on immigration policy, Klobuchnar said. But we are here today. I thought that was absurd. But then I heard Senator Cruz. And I have to say, to compare Richard Nixon to Barack Obama, Richard Nixon, who left the White House in disgrace, to compare him with President Obama, who left the White House with grace and with dignity, something weve missed very much, especially this week, when we saw the President of the United States using the Bible as a prop in front of a church in Washington, DC, after the Justice Department tear-gassed peaceful protestors in order to set the stage for that press conference, no."

makes one wonder if Cruz really does have an "ugly" wife, whether his father may participated in the assassination of JFK, & whether the 2 functioning little grey cells in his brain have staged a recent murder-suicide....

(16,925 posts)Being such a suck-up to the candidate that accused "Lyin' Ted's his father of taking part in the assassination of President Kennedy - and calling his wife ugly.
And for that he has his head so far up BunkerBoy's A$$ that he can probably see the roots of the three hairs that makeup the base for the comb-over.
Sir, have you NO self-respect?
