Backlash at Ted Cruz after he tells Fox News that Biden started war in Ukraine

[Zorro]

Texas Senator Ted Cruz assigned baseless blame for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to President Joe Biden on Monday as the Trump-aligned segment of the Republican Party continues to insist that former President Donald Trump, who enjoyed a famously warm relationship with Vladimir Putin, would have prevented the war.

Mr Cruz made the comments on Monday evening on Fox News, speaking with the network’s Sean Hannity.

“Joe Biden caused this war with Ukraine. How did he do it? When he waived sanctions on Nord Stream 2, sanctions that I authored, that I wrote, that Donald Trump signed into law,” Mr Cruz charged.

He went on to falsely imply that the Nord Stream 2 project had been completed “to let Putin get his gas to Europe”. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline finished construction in September after Mr Biden waived sanctions at Germany’s request, but the pipeline itself never became operational, and may well never be used following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which has caused the project to fall into the sights of the White House.

What a disgrace to Texas and to the Senate.

1. "What a disgrace to Texas and to the Senate." Truer words were never spoken. 😢

[Mysterian]

2. I'm so sick and tired of seeing these cowardly republicans

in so many leadership positions across the nation. In my younger days, there were still some republicans who loved their country. But today, I assume anyone with an R next to their name is a traitorous crook, interested only in enriching themselves.

3. Blame the "Tea Party"/Koch Bros for this.

Broken damned voting machines and rural stupid.
I apologize to all stil living in rural areas that do not support this person.

6. Don't blame me I voted for Beto

And will vote for him again to defeat our loser Greg Abbott. Worthless corporate shill.

[Sogo]

7. And we all know your father helped assassinate JFK, Ted Cruz.

That's what everybody's been saying, anyway....

8. I doubt the White House believes Cruz or Lavrov in their assessment that this is "Biden's war."

It seems to me if Biden had that much sway over Putin that he could get him to start a war to Putin's and Russia's detriment, the Russian people would want to remove Putin for state security reasons.
