Ted Cruz is dropping stuff all over the place this morning!
The CNN media idiot Brian Stelter called out Ted Cruz this morning for not appearing on CNN when he did appear on Fox and Friends:
"What are they afraid of?" CNN calling out @FLGovScott, @TedCruz, @MarcoRubio for avoiding interviews pic.twitter.com/cizvTyU5XP

First, Cruz’s Sr. Communications Advisor responds on Twitter to the tweet:
Hey @CNN, Ted talked to about 5 cameras in the Senate halls yesterday at length on immigration, maybe check with your Hill producers and stop making stupid, pointless accusations. https://t.co/MIRqlEjzK8

Then Ted Cruz chimed in and dropped the smack down:
Gosh, I seem to recall doing not 1, not 2, but THREE town hall debates w/ @BernieSanders on @CNN Each 90 min long. You can accuse me of many things, but being afraid of CNN is not one of them.... https://t.co/we6HBY0oQ9

BOOM! Absolutely right.
Stelter hits back, saying he was actually referring to this morning in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting:
Senator, today's @NewDay segment asking "what are you afraid of?" was about the aftermath of the Parkland attack. Why did you appear on Fox but not other networks today?
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) February 15, 2018
But Cruz’s Sr. Comms Advisor responded again, showing the tweet for what it really was, a petty tantrum:
Ah, I see, this is just a petty tantrum that Cruz went on @FoxNews rather than @CNN. Cry me a river, man. https://t.co/digKcrOKao

Lastly she added:
I’ll also note we weren't even invited on New Day until 8:11am, 39 minutes before the show ends. What a nice heads up before being gratuitously criticized on air.

Well that’s just pathetic.
You know Stelter might have a point if Ted Cruz always refused to go on CNN. But he’s only talking about one day, this morning in fact. That’s why it’s ridiculous and it makes Stelter and his CNN colleagues look jealous.
