Ted Cruz

I have deep concerns that the Biden administration is on the verge of squandering what was an enormous bipartisan victory won by this committee, by Congress, and the previous administration last year.

The Russians are trying to jam through and finish this pipeline before the administration takes action.

I appreciated your willingness when serving as U.N. ambassador to speak out for Meriam Ibrahim, who was wrongfully imprisoned in Sudan and sentenced to torture and death for the crime of being a Christian, and you showed courage speaking…

I think, perhaps, the most shameful moment of the Obama administration was after the election in November of 2016 and was the Security Council's passage of Resolution 2334.

I was very frustrated President Obama would not speak out for her, but I was grateful that you did.

This was an incredible victory for U.S. foreign policy and an incredible loss for Putin and Russia.

If they oppose it, they are not very effective at opposing it because when their administration came into office, suddenly it commenced.

In the last six weeks, the Biden administration has embraced China, has bombed Syria, has empowered Russia and Putin.

Going soft on Russia is a serious mistake, and once it is built, it likely is impossible to unwind.

I told both of you that if the Biden administration does not change course, we are going to wake up in six months or a year and this pipeline is going to be built because the Biden administration failed to act.

If you are tough on Putin, do not give him billions of dollars.

I think that is the right thing to do, and that Taiwan we should respect and treat with respect.

You are a vocal proponent of the Obama/Biden Iran nuclear deal. I believe that was a catastrophically misguided deal.

Can you commit to this committee today that the Biden administration will hold the line, will keep the sanctions, and will prevent the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from being completed?

I have authored two separate pieces of legislation jointly with Senator Shaheen, bipartisan legislation, both of which have passed into law imposing strong sanctions to prevent the completion of Nord Stream 2.

In the last 18 months in the Senate, we have seen remarkable bipartisan agreement when it comes to Nord Stream 2.

I have long believed that China poses the single greatest geopolitical threat facing the United States for the next century.

The European Union, in terms of our partners and allies in Europe, when they voted to condemn the Nord Stream 2 project the vote was something like 400 to 100.

Senator Cruz has yet to respond to this particular new video. And, while, after the riot, he said in public that he viewed it as a terrorist attack and the rioters should be prosecuted, he has also done very little to rein in these very…

This man is a pathological liar.

We will not go quietly into the night. We will defend liberty into the future. And we are going to win.

Yes, absolutely I would object and urge that we should follow the law and follow the Constitution.

The job that I was elected to do is to fight for the people of Texas. And what I was doing is debating on the floor of the Senate election integrity, how we can protect the integrity of our elections.

This man is a pathological liar. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist, a narcissist at a level I don't think this country's ever seen.

What Donald does when he loses is, he blames everybody else. It's never Donald's fault.
