Marco Rubio rattles Ted Cruz
One of the most vicious exchanges occurred between Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. When Cruz challenged Marco Rubio on his immigration stance, Marco Rubio unloaded a vicious attack on Ted Cruz’s record.
Maria, let me clear something up here. This is an interesting point when you talk about immigration. Ted Cruz, you used to say you supported doubling the number of green cards, now you say that you’re against it. You used to support a 500 percent increase in the number of guest workers, now you say that you’re against it. You used to support legalizing people that were here illegally, now you say you’re against it. You used to say that you were in favor of birthright citizenship, now you say that you are against it. And by the way, it’s not just on immigration, you used to support TPA, now you say you’re against it. I saw you on the Senate floor flip your vote on crop insurance because they told you it would help you in Iowa, and last week, we all saw you flip your vote on ethanol in Iowa for the same reason. That is not consistent conservatism, that is political calculation. When I am president, I will work consistently every single day to keep this country safe, not call Edward Snowden, as you did, a great public servant. Edward Snowden is a traitor. And if I am president and we get our hands on him, he is standing trial for treason.
Ted Cruz attempted to refute Rubio stating some of the statements were false. He seemed rattled as he tried to refute many claims point by point but was unable to do so as the GOP Debate moved on. Unfortunately the staged attack by Marco Rubio was likely well orchestrated enough to convince low information viewers.
