Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that some of President Joe Biden’s policies have directly caused the murder of Jews by terrorists. Speaking during an episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson, he noted that the fallout of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel “doesn’t seem to be very relevant to Joe Biden to the Democrats calculus” for the 2024 election.

According to him, Biden allowed for the attack on Israel and funded it.
“When he came into the White House, they systematically attacked Israel, they also funneled over $100 billion to Iran, they funded Iran, they funded Hamas. Now, they funded Hamas, both through Iran, because 90% of Hamas funding comes from Iran.”
“They funded Hezbollah through Iran, because 90% of Hezbollah’s funding comes from Iran, but they also sent hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza, which they knew would go directly to Hamas and be used for terror killings, Joe Biden, which he somehow didn’t tell this to the college kids in the commencement address, in a very real sense, have funded the death squads that murdered Jews,” he added.
Cruz also accused Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) of being “the second greatest friend Hamas and Hezbollah has ever had” after Biden.
“And by the way, and historically, Schumer has always said, I’m an Israel guy. He’s defined himself as the defender of Israel. And he is right now defending Hamas and supporting Joe Biden and cutting off weapons to Israel. Like Chuck Schumer, the language and words he said for 30 years are all being turned on their head because Schumer, just like Biden, just like the rest of the Democrats is terrified of the radical left, that is their base,” he stated.
Cruz also slammed the Biden admin’s “worst foreign policy disaster of modern times” questioning Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Tuesday.
“Mr. Secretary, you have presided over the worst foreign policy disaster of modern times,” he said to Blinken, adding, “When Joe Biden became president, 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.”
“Your foreign policy is precisely backwards from what a rational American foreign policy should be to our friends and allies. This administration has consistently undermined, weakened and attacked them. And to our enemies, this administration has shown constant appeasement and indeed has flowed billions of dollars to the enemies of America who want to kill us,” he added.
