Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) really didn’t like being asked if he agrees with what President Donald Trump did trying to bribe Ukraine.

During the dinner break for the impeachment trial Thursday, Cruz approached reporters who shouted questions. CNN’s Manu Raju asked if he approved of Trump’s conduct and agrees the call was “perfect,” as the president has said.

“You asked a question last night let me let someone else ask a question,” Cruz replied.

The Texas senator then moved onto a New York Times reporter, but that one asked the exact same question: if Cruz agreed with what Trump did in Ukraine.

Not only did Cruz refuse to answer, he took a quick question and then “split,” tweeted Raju.
