Ted Cruz hit Joe Biden tonight for being caught in two lies in 24 hours. Both lies come from his interview with ABC News yesterday morning, where Biden claimed he knew nothing about the moves to investigate Flynn:

Notice Biden literally repeated back exactly what Stephanopoulos asked him, just in the negative, saying “I knew nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn…” But then, after Stephanopoulos reminded Biden that he was in an Oval Office meeting with Obama and Comey discussing it, he suddenly remembers and claims that he thought he was asked by Stephanopoulos if he had anything to do with Flynn being prosecuted. Puhleaze.
Ted Cruz calls this lie #1, that Biden ‘knew nothing’ about the moves to investigate Flynn.
Then Biden changes his answer to “I was aware that they asked for an investigation, but that’s all I know about it.”
Given today’s revelations that Biden was part of the unmasking of Flynn, Ted Cruz says that he was obviously aware of much more than just the desire to investigate Flynn this is lie #2:
TWO Biden falsehoods revealed in 24 hours. First, he tell ABC he knew nothing about Obama targeting Gen. Flynn. George STEPHANOPOLOUS calls him out & Biden backtracks. Second, Biden says “that’s ALL I know about it.” Also FALSE—revealed today Biden personally unmasked Flynn. https://t.co/senHwofwWb

I remember back in 2016 when Trump would do an interview and would say something off kilter, the media would immediately pounce all over him. It would be headline news for at least the next 24 hours.
But yesterday Joe Biden just burps out a ridiculous claim that he didn’t understand the initial question when he got called out by Stephanopoulos, and the media is all asleep as if they never heard him say it. And then to top it off, as Cruz points out, Biden’s correction to his answer was just another lie, which was revealed today in the unmasking revelations. But all the media can do, even if they discuss the unmasking revelations, is accuse Republicans of playing politics and justify the unmasking of Flynn for whatever stupid reason they can come up with. Garbage media doing their best to defend Democrats and persecute Republicans.
