Cruz suggests far-left believes America’s existence is ‘fundamentally illegitimate’

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) accused the far-left of believing that America’s existence is “fundamentally illegitimate” during a recent interview with Fox News.

Cruz said politicians like Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and the “radical open borders crowd,” are driving Democrats’ agenda and believe that it’s wrong to have a border.

“Some of those nuts believe America shouldn’t exist, that our existence is fundamentally illegitimate,” Cruz told Fox’s Maria Bartiromo.

Cruz continued, saying that the Biden administration “is all politics all the time” and they “don’t care” about national security, and that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was an “entirely political operation” and was “disastrous.”

Democrats look the other way when migrants enter the country because “they just see future Democrats,” the Texas lawmaker alleged.


He criticized Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for not visiting the U.S.-Mexico border, saying they haven’t visited “because they don’t want to see it.”

Cruz also said Democrats have an open border policy because they are counting on the media to ignore the border.

“That’s why Joe Biden doesn’t go down because if he came down, the TV cameras would come with him,” he said. “And it is because of our corrupt and lying media [that] the Democrats have been driven to these radical policy positions.”
