Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is blasting the reports that suggested he took 18 seconds to respond to a question on President Trumps pardon tweet.
The senator was asked by a reporter if he agreed with Trumps assertion that he could pardon himself. And judging from the recording, it did take 18 seconds for him to say, Thats not a constitutional area Ive studied so I will withhold judgement. However, you can clearly hear footsteps in the clip.
Well, Cruz gave a full response to the question on Twitter.

Cruz then went after the dishonest journalists for their reports, saying he was running late to a meeting and was simply ignoring the question as senators do every single day.

(11,885 posts)He's just another serial liar who'll say anything , and instead reporters should be asking him why he isn't looking into the Texas problem they have now why hasn't he looked into how immigrant children in Texas facilities are being cared for and treated? Some are very , very young and being separated from their parents intentionally, then lost in their system intentionally. Beto should ask him also.
