Sen. Ted Cruz finds himself in a war of words MSNBC’s Brian Williams. The Texas
senator ripped the anchor and stated that he was having a “hissy fit” following the
comments made by Williams calling Cruz “Kremlin Cruz.”
“Is there a more pitiful example of corrupt corporate media than Brian Williams? He was
fired as the anchor of NBC Nightly News for ‘misrepresenting events which occurred
while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003.’ Now, he’s a left-wing hack at MSNBC,”
Cruz wrote in a thread on Twitter.
The back and forth spat between the two men started when Cruz took to Twitter to say,
“Holy crap. Perhaps a woke, emasculated military is not the best idea” regarding
praising military recruitment advertisements in Russia.
Williams aimed at Cruz during his show, “The 11th Hour with Brian Williams,” for the
senator’s “remarkably stupid lapse in judgment” by posting “Russian propaganda” and a
video “meant to diminish the US military.”
Cruz would defend himself from these comments made by Williams.
“I hate communists, my family was imprisoned & tortured by communists, and Brian is a
shameless apologist for Russian (and Chinese and Cuban) communists,” Cruz said.
“I was arguing that our military needs to be able to kick the ass of Russian soldiers. It’s
Brian & his lefty comrades that are working relentlessly to diminish the effectiveness of
the US military—the finest fighting force on the face of the planet.”

Imagine after 4 years of the US media redbaiting it’s readers with a conspiracy theory that Trump was a Russian asset, they have the nerve to try it all over again. How does Brian Williams still have a career in the news industry? Oh it’s MSNBC, where conspiracy theorists practice their trade.
