Every American should watch the following speech in its entirety, if only for the fact that it provides actual details on the border that the media is ignoring.
If you don't have time for the goodness, skip ahead for the best quotes of this absolute beatdown:
Yeah, so that was savage. Cruz (somehow) verbally clotheslined AOC and the entire Democratic Party in one fell swoop.
Let's go through some of the best quotes:
I'll tell you, I've been to the border. I've been to the Biden cages. For four years, Democrats went on and on and on, the corrupt corporate media went on and on and on about kids in cages. You couldn't turn on the evening news without ‘hearing kids in cages.'
What they didn't tell you is Barack Obama built those cages. And today under Joe Biden, the cages are bigger and they're more full than they were before. Mr. President, every Democrat who stood up and lamented kids in cages, in the House of Representatives, Representative Ocasio-Cortez, has a famous photo of her grasping her head by the kids in cages.
Well, I'm going to give a simple challenge for Representative Ocasio-Cortez and for every Democrat in this body. Go see the Biden cages with your own eyes.
Cruz then detailed how 22% of immigrants in the detention facilities in the Rio Grande valley are Covid positive and provided other stats based on his firsthand experience seeing the "cages."
Why does Joe Biden refuse to go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if he goes, the TV cameras will come with him. Why does Kamala Harris, who's supposed to be the border czar, she's supposed to be in charge of this, why won't she go to the Rio Grande Valley? Because if she went, the TV cameras would come and would show the Biden cages.
And the Democrats are counting on the corrupt corporate media to suddenly say nothing to see here. 15,000 Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio. Nothing to see here. Anyone want to know what Joe Biden's favorite ice cream flavor is? That's the news!
HEADSHOT!
Never mind 1.2 million illegal immigrants [this year]. Never mind when I took 19 senators down to the border, we went out on the river and saw a man floating dead in the river, who died trying to cross illegally. Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers, the moms who told me, ‘I won't let my teenage kids go out on our ranch without being armed with a loaded firearm because there are so many human traffickers and narcotics traffickers that it's dangerous for them to go out on their own ranch.' Never mind the South Texas farmers and ranchers who told me at roundtables, how tired they are of going out and finding dead bodies.
Cruz talked about meeting a young girl who had been gang raped by traffickers and the staggering stats of sexual assault at the border. He also discussed how the cartels put people in stash houses, how the Biden administration participates in the "trafficking network" by delivering the illegal immigrants to various U.S. cities, and how these immigrants are indebted to the cartels.
He then invited the Democrats to actually come down to the border to see the death, suffering, and crime being unleashed by traffickers.
I assume they'll get around to it after Joe has finished his 10,000th ice cream cone on the Tonight Show.
