Sen. Cruz Fires Back At BS Washington Post “Fact-Check”

Senator Ted Cruz reacted to the latest bizarre attempt to fact-check Ted Cruz on his podcast. 

On a prior episode, Sen. Cruz highlighted one email from Hunter Biden’s laptop that he said “reads as if it was cut-and-pasted from an official government briefing. An official government briefing that one would infer his father had received. And it reads as if it could easily have come from a classified briefing. We don’t know that. But the level of geopolitical and geo-strategic analysis is the sort of analysis that is often in classified briefings.”

As a response, the ahref=”https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/02/laptop-email-suggests-hunter-biden-read-newspapers-not-classified-documents/”>Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler Attempted to argue all of the email simply proves that “Hunter Biden reads newspapers,” and branded false Cruz’s opinion that a particular email read like a government document.  

Cruz replied:

This is what you saw. Glenn Kessler, fact-checker at the Washington Post, gave us three facts ‘Pinocchios.’ Why? Because they said we couldn’t prove Hunter Biden’s email about Ukraine that we walked through on an earlier podcast, that we couldn’t prove it came from a Vice Presidential briefing or classified materials. Now, mind you, we didn’t assert that it came from classified materials, we said it has a level of scholarship and erudition that it markedly atypical from anything else Hunter Biden has ever wrote. It is written in the same style as these briefings and contains the same level of analysis. I can tell you that this briefing could be easily classified, having seen many. All of these are true – Glenn Kessler however, said ‘Well, we’re the Washington Post dammit and it’s our job to be press secretary for the White House.”

Cruz’s Special Advisor for Communications previously responded to Kessler last week, blasting his fact-check as “trash.” “ The Washington Post ‘Fact Checker’ lives in a world where he issues Pinocchios on legitimate open questions about how Hunter Biden got the information in his emails and then he uses wiggle words like ‘suggest,’ ‘appears,’ or  ‘we’re fairly confident.’”

You “presume” Hunter “acquired some research skills” Yale & Georgetown Hunter didn’t apply to those schools based on merit. Hunter relied solely on his last name. BILL CLINTON called Hunter when Hunter attempted to enter Yale. He was rejected by Yale for the 1st time.https://t.co/bs8QerzCxm”>https://t.co/bs8QerzCxm

Glenn Hunter is well-known for his level of insight.

“Domesticated foreigner” “Is fine.” “No yellow.”

People don’t go to Hunter Biden because of his geopolitical analysis and knowledge of Ukraine, but it is hard to believe. People go to Hunter because of his last name.https://t.co/1HSBqGu6DA”>https://t.co/1HSBqGu6DA

As with almost every conservative being targeted by so-called fact-checkers, Sen. Cruz’s rebuttal is not strong enough to be published. As I ahref=”https://bongino.com/faux-fact-checkers-target-ted-cruz”>documented An article published last monthThe illogic must be seen to be believed. 

When Sen. Cruz said that antifa rioted in 2020, a Newsweek fact-checker went as far as to call into question whether or not antifa actually exists because they’re not a registered group. 

In July 2021, nearly 60 Texas State House Democrats tried to block a voter integrity law by leaving Texas to prevent a majority. Sen. Cruz demanded their arrest. “there is clear legal authority to handcuff and put in leg irons legislators that are trying to stop the legislature from being able to do business.” PolitiFact rated this claim false – and then never updated their article when the Texas Supreme Court allowed for the arrest of Democrats who don’t show up to the legislature. This resulted in the immediate issuance of arrest warrants for 52 Democrats and the termination of their political stunt.

A Huffington Post fact-checker clarified what the word meant when Sen. Cruz said that Republicans had never attempted to pack the Supreme Court like Democrats. “court packing” It was argued that Republicans have crowded the courts as Donald Trump appointed a lot of appeals court judges and district court judges. 

PolitiFact rated Sen. Cruz’s claim that the U.S. debt was greater than the U.S. economic. “half-true,”Despite the fact that the nation’s debt is higher than the economy, he stated this when he made the statement.
