Ted Cruz Nazi?

I learned something new yesterday while listening to left-wing commentators – it seems Ted Cruz is a Nazi. At least, that's what they're claiming. Now, as Paul Harvey used to say, here's the rest of the story.

During this week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Cruz grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland on the absurdity of his memo directing the FBI to investigate parents at school board meetings. 

Cruz referred to an incident in which a parent gave the Nazi salute at a school board meeting, and asked Garland if that was a form of speech protected under the First Amendment. Garland agreed with Sen. Cruz that it was protected speech.

Well, the left-wing media went nuts, suggesting Ted Cruz was defending Nazi salutes. They deliberately twisted the whole point of Cruz's question, and, of course, never reported that "Biden's Attorney General Defends Nazi Salutes."

Ted Cruz isn't a Nazi, and neither was the man protesting at the school board meeting. Instead, the man was accusing his local school board members of acting like Nazis with their totalitarian policies.

This is why so few Americans trust the media. Simply put, they are liars.

Needless to say, Representatives Ilhan Omar and Eric Swalwell eagerly jumped on the liberal media bandwagon to smear Cruz as a Nazi. But Ted Cruz shot back at Swalwell, tweeting:

"You are frequently a liar (when you're not sleeping with Chinese spies). But here, your lie is exactly 180 degrees false. I was defending the right of citizens to denounce authoritarian policies. In other words, to OPPOSE Nazis (or petty tyrants), not to support them."

Congratulations, Sen. Cruz! That's exactly how every conservative should fight back.
