Senator Ted Cruz took time on the Senate floor Thursday to criticize democrats who took part in a “ridiculous” gun control filibuster in the wake of an act of Islamic terrorism.
Cruz said in part:
“Yesterday we saw a political show on the Senate floor.” He also says, “This is political distraction. This is political gamesmanship. And I think the American people find it ridiculous that in response to an ISIS terror attack the Democrats go on high dungeon that we’ve got to restrict the 2nd amendment rights of law abiding citizens. This is not a gun control issue. This is a terrorism issue. And it is nothing less than political gamesmanship for them to try to shift for their favorite hobby-horse, of taking away the Bill of Rights from law abiding citizens.”
Cruz also tweeted:
You don’t defeat terrorism by taking away our guns. You defeat terrorism by using our guns. https://t.co/JppvzOuH5U

Cruz is a true patriot and here is one more reason he should be the Republican nominee.
Looks like ol Ted has been hitting the Blue Bell a bit since he dropped out of the POTUS 2016 race…
He only suspended. My hope is that the orange democrat steps down soon.
I dont see that happening anytime soon Mike.
It sounds like he’s endorsing Trump…
Not quite. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/743078235408195584
And in other news:
“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took credit for getting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on-board the gun control train Wednesday, claiming she and others “essentially forced” Trump to consider unpopular and some would argue, unconstitutional legislation that would ban Americans from having guns if they were on the “no-fly list.””
