Reckless Crackpot Ted Cruz Falsely Compares Barack Obama to Corrupt Former President Nixon

In an interview for Newsmax TV, released on Monday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) accused President Obama of turning America into a monarchy. He also condemned Congressional Democrats for being “partisan rubber stamps for a lawless president”. While that style of blustering rhetoric is not unusual for the Republican Senator, he also went a step further by comparing President Obama to corrupt former President Nixon.

Trying to draw parallels to Nixon’s lawless abuse of power during the Watergate scandal, Cruz complained:

We’ve had presidents in the past who have abused power. But when that has happened: When Richard Nixon abused power, Republican senators stood up to him and said, ‘Mr. President, you’ve gone too far.’ In fact, it was Republican senators who went to the Oval Office, … and said, ‘Mr. President, it’s time for you to resign… What is strikingly missing are Democratic senators who have more commitment to the Constitution and rule of law than they do to their party.

Cruz couldn’t quite make up his mind, which “scandal” was like Watergate. He meandered about, criticizing Obama on immigration policy, foreign policy, and his nomination of Loretta Lynch for Attorney General, during the course of the conversation. All those Obama “scandals” presumably being equal to the Nixon conspiracy to cover up a political burglary, at least in Cruz’s mind.
