On Wednesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted President Barack Obama for refusing to visit the southern border during his visit. Cruz said “the cynicism of President Obama seems to know no bounds. He is in Texas tonight. He’s going to two major fundraisers where he wants to be with wealthy Democratic donors, but apparently, he doesn’t have time to actually go and see the border, he doesn’t have time to go see the children who are suffering because of his failed policies. Earlier, he was playing pool. Apparently playing a game of pool is a higher priority for this president than it would be to go and see the humanitarian crisis he’s created.”
Cruz also criticized the president’s comments that the border crisis is not “theater,” declaring “apparently, the theater he’s interested in is seeing the home movie theater of wealthy Texas trial lawyers, and he’s interested of getting checks from wealthy Texas trial lawyers, but he’s not interested in seeing the poor immigrant children who are suffering.”
