Texas senator and part-time podcast host Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized Democrats over Ukraine and compared the Ukrainian flag to a Covid mask.
In Wednesday’s edition of his podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz, the Republican sat down with co-host Ben Ferguson to discuss President Joe Biden’s recent visit to Ukraine that marks a year since the Russian invasion began.
In the same episode, Cruz warned that Biden and Zelensky were “engaged in theater,” criticizing the fact that the two were unfazed by the sound of air sirens.
Cruz then turned his attention to the money Ukraine earned from the United States.
Ferguson asked how we count U. S. shipments to Ukraine, noting that we ship more than weapons.
“Do we have accounting or balance sheets for this now open war?” asked Ferguson.
“So we’re sending anyone and we don’t have as much duty as we want,” Cruz responded.
“There are many things we don’t ship, for example, the so-called ATACM ballistic missiles. These are ballistic missiles that Ukraine can use for Iranian drones,” Cruz said.
“Biden’s management is not offering the missiles that only those Iranian drones can because their priority is to embrace the ayatollah and make a new nuclear deal with the ayatollah,” Cruz alleged. “Even if it undermines U. S. national security at the same time. “
Cruz also argued that the billions of dollars being funneled to the Ukrainian government from the United States have “very little responsibility for where they go. “
The senator also said he recently warned a U. S. ambassador to the U. S. ambassador of the U. S. The U. S. government said in a country close to Ukraine that “Congress’ patience for unlimited engagement in the war against Ukraine is fading. “
“With a Republican majority in the House, I think you’re going to see a lot more control over the budget,” Cruz said. “I think there will be a willingness to supply genuine weapons, to supply ammunition or weapons that Ukrainians can use to protect themselves. I think there will be very little interest in unfettered controls for the Ukrainian government.
Cruz said that for Democrats, the war in Ukraine has a chance for virtue.
“The Democrats bring a Ukrainian flag. Zelensky has become, I People Magazine will call him the sexiest guy in the world. They’re in love with him,” Cruz said.
“A Ukrainian flag has like a covid mask. It’s a sign to show your virtue,” Cruz said. “Now, look at the conservative side, there are many of us who are Reagan conservatives who think resisting Russian aggression is a smart concept: that they need Russia to lose, that they need Putin to lose. “
Cruz said leftist interest in the war in Ukraine “is alienating millions of Americans and saying, ‘Okay, if they’re for it, I’m not. ‘
