Ted Cruz (R-TX) argued against a full boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in China and said the U.S. needs to \u201cgo and highlight China\u2019s oppression. We go and tell the world about what\u2019s happening. And that courage is something the Biden administration doesn\u2019t want to do, doesn\u2019t like to do.&nbsp;That courage is something American corporations are terrified to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cruz said, \u201cI think everything we can do to shine a light on the atrocities of China, on the murder, on the torture, on the genocide, on the concentration camps, I think everything we can do is good and positive. And so, I agree with the diplomatic boycott. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve called [for] for a long time. I don\u2019t agree with what some people are calling for, which is a boycott of our athletes, which is stopping our athletes from going to the Olympics. I think that would be a mistake. I understand the sentiment behind it, but it was the same sentiment that led Jimmy Carter to do that in 1980, and I think it didn\u2019t work then. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair to punish our athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cI\u2019d do more than just a diplomatic boycott.\u201d And \u201cI think we go and speak the truth.
