Cruz says Kerry colludes. Kerry says Cruz deceives
Source: Austin American-Statesman
I haven't talked to the Iranians since the day that Trump pulled out of the deal. I haven't had any conversations with them .
At the time that I met with then it was at international conferences where everybody talked to them. The UN General Assembly. The Munich Security Conference. And the Peace Conference in Oslo, Norway, where invited guests were. Those were the only places that I've been in any conversation with them, and it's pretty normal for an ex-Secretary and other people to have those kinds of conversations.
These guys are dangerous. They are incredible liars. They don't hesitate to gin up that kind of frustration or anger or whatever you want to call it. I mean they just bring out the worst in people.
And by the way, when I had a conversation with them (the Iranians) I raised Yemen, missiles, Israel, their threats against Israel, their interference in other countries and told them point-blank that they are making life difficult for themselves in the world. So I stood up for American principles and it's a disgrace that these guys play, just lie to people like that and try to energize it.

That except was in response to Cruz's attack, which the author read to former Secretary John Kerry. Kerry went beyond saying that Cruz deceives - calling him an incredible liar and dangerous because of the anger they gin up.
This article, which is very long, also includes a strong defense of Obama's foreign policy.

(59,504 posts)when I referred to Obama's foreign policy and Iran. He only had two Secretaries of State, Kerry and Hillary. Not to mention, you do not ask Cruz who? However, I will change the part that I can - the comment to change Kerry to Secretary John Kerry.
