Ted Cruz hits media over poor Chuck Hagel coverage, knocks Obama over immigration

Ted Cruz is certainly getting the attention of the media these days which means he’s doing something right. But yesterday he told the media that if they were going to continue to write stories attacking him, then for every ten stories attacking him they should at least write one on the substance of Hagel’s record.

Watch:

According to Politico, Cruz also knocked Obama on his immigration plan:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) says President Barack Obama wants to “scuttle” immigration reform by injecting a path to citizenship into the debate so Democrats can keep the issue alive for political gain.

“The president has been focusing on amnesty — a path to citizenship that skips ahead of the line,” the freshman tea party senator said Wednesday at a speech in Dallas, according to The Dallas Morning News. “That, he knows, is a position not supported by a great many Americans and not a position that will achieve bipartisan cooperation. It’s designed to scuttle the bill.”

“I don’t believe President Obama wants an immigration bill to pass, instead I think he wants a political issue. His objective is to push so much on the table that he forces Republicans to walk away from the table because then he wants to use that issue in 2014 and 2016 as a divisive wedge issue.”
