Ted Cruz actually said...

"The advocates of the Green New Deal like to pitch their proposals in high sounding rhetoric, but the reality of their proposals are that they would do four things."

"They would hurt the poor. They would hurt the working class. They would give special benefits and subsidies to the rich, and they would hurt the environment."

"And if you want to understand the Green New Deal it is to bring the failed energy policies of California to force them on the rest of the country."

"you would impose trillions of dollars of costs on African-Americans, on Hispanics, on low income Americans, and you would drive up poverty across the country."
