Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Sunday declared that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and other Democrats want a situation where refugee children were maimed and brutalized.
In an interview on Fox News, Cruz told host Chris Wallace that Reid and President Barack Obama were holding thousands of children ransom because they had been unwilling to fix the problem by deporting every undocumented immigrant child in the U.S.
You keep talking about helping the kids, Wallace noted. One question I have is, how do you help the kids I understand how it helps the United States not to allow them to come into this country how does it help the kids to just say, Hey, youve got to stay in Central America.
You talk about the violence in Central America, the murder rate in some of these countries, Wallace added. Im not saying its our responsibility to help the kids, but it doesnt help the kids.

(1,649 posts)When I heard that Fox had called out Cruz, I just had to make sure that the sky wasn't purple and fish weren't living in the trees.

(564 posts)It does seem like Fox is slowly starting to turn on the GOP, or at least the crazier factions of it. It seems to me this is the second or may be third time I've seen something like this in recent weeks.
I wonder if it is planned? Not that I'm disappointed in seeing the right and it's mouth piece at odds.

(9,688 posts)and FOX is now doing some kind of cleanup duty. That's all it is. Not a single FOX employee has come to some "better understanding". Not one won't be there the next time they're called on to do their employer's bidding.
FOX is no different than MSNBC and CNN and ABC and the US MSM in general.
