Ted Cruz has made his position known and has stood toe to toe with Obama on his failing policies. Cruz also does not take insults lightly, especially when he is not around to fight back. No one likes to be insulted and not able to rebuttal and Cruz is no exception. In an NBC interview Wednesday Cruz issued a challenge that Obama is not soon going to accept:
“President Obama has now chosen, two days in a row, to attack me directly. He just called me ‘offensive.’ The day before he called me ‘un-American.’ You know I think that’s really quite rich that he chose to do make both of those insults on foreign soil while he was abroad attacking me and attacking everyone else in this country who believes we should not be bringing in tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees that the Obama Administration cannot vet to determine whether or not they are ISIS terrorists. I gotta tell ya. It is utterly unbefitting of the president to be engaging in those kind of personal insults and attacks. And you know he also he talked about how he was belittling the Republican field as scared. Well let me suggest something, Mr. President. If you want to insult me. You can do it overseas. You can do it in Turkey. You can do it in foreign countries. But I want to encourage you, Mr. President. Come back and insult me to my face. Let’s have a debate on Syrian refugees right now. We can do it anywhere you want. I’d prefer it in the United States not overseas where you’re making the insults. It’s easy to chop, to toss a cheap insult when no one can respond but let’s have a debate. We’ll do it on any station or any one of the tv stations would be glad to host it and let’s have a debate on your refugee policy.”
