Cruz criticizes Senate Republicans for aiding Democrats in undermining House Republican majority
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Slams Senate Republican Leadership Over Controversial Border Bill
During an episode of his engaging “Verdict” podcast with host Ben Ferguson, Senator Ted Cruz criticized Senate Republican leadership for their involvement in the controversial border bill. He argued that their actions were ultimately aiding House Democrats in defeating the Republican majority in the House.
Cruz revealed that there have been intense confrontations during the conference’s weekly lunch meeting, where he and other conservatives have been standing up against the bill. He expressed his frustration, stating, “Many of my Republican colleagues are getting really pissed off.”
According to Cruz, Republican senators have been questioning leadership about why they are collaborating with Democrats on a bill that has no chance of passing in the Republican-controlled House. In response, leadership has claimed that it will indeed pass.
However, Cruz believes that the bill’s purpose is purely political messaging. He argues that it allows Democrats to avoid securing the border and maintain the ongoing crisis. Furthermore, it provides them with an opportunity to blame Republicans for not taking action. Cruz asserts, “This is all about giving political cover for Democrats.”
He goes on to accuse Senate Republican leadership of using the bill as a weapon against House Republicans, aiming to defeat the House Republican majority. He emphasizes, “It is literally Senate Republican leadership helping the Democrats in the House.”

Cruz also called out some of his Republican colleagues who suggested that Republicans were intentionally not passing the bill to use illegal immigration as an election issue. He accused them of lying and aiding Democrats with their remarks. He warned, “You are reading Chuck Schumer’s talking points. And your lie will be used to reelect Democrats to the Senate and in the House. You’re simply being useful idiots.”
There is a 0% chance this failed border bill will pass the House.
It effectively normalizes 5,000 illegal aliens crossing the border per day—more than 1.8 million per year.

According to Cruz, why is it a flawed strategy for Senate Republicans to negotiate and work across party lines on this issue?
T they are trying to demonstrate their willingness to negotiate and work across party lines. However, Cruz argued that this is a flawed strategy that is only benefiting the Democrats.
Cruz pointed out that the border bill in question is one that would grant legal status to a large number of illegal immigrants. He argued that this is not what the American people want, and it is certainly not in line with Republican values. By aligning themselves with House Democrats on this issue, Senate Republicans are effectively betraying their own party and the voters who put them in office.
Furthermore, Cruz criticized the leadership for skirting the procedural rules of the Senate to push this bill forward. He stated, “They are abusing the rules of the Senate to try to jam through a bill that is deeply unpopular and goes against everything we stand for as Republicans.”
Cruz also expressed his frustration with the lack of transparency and accountability within the Republican Party. He emphasized that many senators were not even aware of the details of the bill until it was already being pushed through. This lack of communication and consultation is a serious issue that needs to be addressed within the party.
In conclusion, Senator Ted Cruz has made it clear that he is deeply disappointed with Senate Republican leadership for their involvement in the controversial border bill. He believes that their actions are aiding House Democrats in their quest to defeat the Republican majority in the House. Cruz argues that aligning with Democrats on an issue that goes against Republican values is a betrayal of the voters who put them in office. He also criticizes the lack of transparency and accountability within the party. It is clear that Cruz is determined to continue fighting for conservative values and to hold his fellow Republicans accountable for their actions.
