Cruz: Republican Leaders Gave Up on Iran Deal
- 9 years ago
Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz on Thursday sharply criticized the leaders of his party, accusing them of surrendering to the Democrats on the Iran nuclear deal and Planned Parenthood.
While accusing Republican leaders of "preemptory surrender," Cruz is aiming to pass a resolution to stop funding for the "catastrophic" nuclear deal and defund Planned Parenthood, an organization providing abortions that has been rocked with scandal after shocking videos indicated the group sold aborted fetuses for cash.
Cruz's move is set to force US President Barack Obama to veto the funding of the government and cause a shutdown - Republican leaders have given signs that they are leery to bring about such a situation, promising to try and avoid a shutdown.
"When you have a radical in the White House who will exploit that promise, what it means in effect is that Republican leadership will support every failed big government policy of President Obama," Cruz said.
