President Obama is speaking out against Republican politicians and members of the media demonizing Syrian refugees, implying that we shouldnt allow them into our country because of the inherent risks associated. Ted Cruz took the opportunity to dare Obama to insult him to his face. Kinda like in fourth grade. John Iadarola (Think Tank) and Elliot Hill (The Lip TV), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) addressed President Obama directly while speaking to reporters Wednesday, telling him to "come back and insult me to my face."
Cruz was responding to Obama's recent criticism of Republicans suggesting there be a religious test for Syrian refugees seeking entrance to the country, a plan he called "shameful" and "not American" while in Turkey for the Group of 20 summit.
Cruz got even more schoolyard, challenging the President to a debate any place, any time.*

(4,113 posts)What's even more disturbing is that since he's ratcheted up his rhetoric such as his recent comments on Syrian refugees, his poll numbers have climbed. A great testimonial to the lack of intelligence of the Republican base.

Obama taught US Constitutional Law-Separation of Church and State. Cruz teaches Dominionism of Law and Faith under Cruz's governance.
