“So Mitt Romney’s tweet today said, ‘Gosh, this rhetoric is not helpful, ‘” Cruz said in a radio interview Thursday.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has issued a public challenge to President Obama to debate the merits or substance of the Iran nuke deal on national TV. That does not hurt the cause of trying to bring down the Iran deal.
Cruz has steadfastly maintained that President Barack Obama’s administration would become a leading state-sponsor of terror if the agreement it struck with Iran makes it past Congress. He and others have argued that Iran would use a windfall from sanctions relief to finance terror overseas.
Cruz is not the only Republican presidential candidate to make incendiary remarks about Obama and the Iran deal. “This deal is catastrophic for the American people”.
According to the RealClearPolitics poll of polls, Cruz is now in eighth place with 4.8 percent support.
Obama hit back at Cruz, without naming the Texas senator, on Monday during a speech from Ethiopia.
Obama said, “We’ve had a sitting senator, who also happens to be running for president, suggest that I’m the leading state sponsor of terrorism…”
Showing an assertiveness that was sorely lacking in his 2012 run towards President Barack Obama, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney took goal at fellow Republican Ted Cruz for criticizing the president’s “historic” nuclear cope with Iran.
But all of this ignores the fact that Obama has already spent his entire presidency arming and funding Islamic terrorists at every turn. “Describing the actual facts is not using rhetoric – it’s speaking the truth”.

Congress has been reviewing the Iran deal since July 20 and will have a total of 60 days to look it over. Typical Cruz. But it is kind of amusing to see how he got everyone all flummoxed, to the point one of them knocks over their name card.
