Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is planning a resolution to support arms sales to Israel as progressive Democrats seek to block those transactions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Next week I&#8217;m introducing a resolution to approve the arm sales,&#8221; Cruz told Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Justice w\/Judge Jeanine&#8221; on Saturday night. &#8220;And I&#8217;m going to fight for a vote, because there are a lot of Democrats in the Senate who want to play footsie, want to say &#8216;well, now, I don&#8217;t agree with that anti-Semitic language from the squad.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, let&#8217;s vote.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The resolution will ultimately put Democrats on record in the Senate of whether they stand for Israel and its right to defend itself or the Hamas terrorist organization.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s decide if you are willing to send weapons to support Israel or if you are going to sashay up to the anti-Israel left, then you need to own it,&#8221; Cruz told Judge Jeanine Pirro.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There has always been a really angry, anti-Israel, anti-Semitic voice on the far left,&#8221; Cruz added. &#8220;What&#8217;s different now is there are now prominent members of Congress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cruz noted Rep. Ilhan Omar, R-Minn., &#8220;accused Israel of carrying out acts of terrorism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is a vicious lie,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And to be honest, the squad is acting more like the press secretaries of Hamas terrorists than they are like United States congressmen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cruz rebuked Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., for introducing resolutions to block arms sales to Israel amid the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope we&#8217;re going to have a vote next week and we&#8217;re going to decide which side of the line everyone stands on,&#8221; Cruz concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz also engaged in a verbal battle this weekend with leftist media&#8217;s Brian Williams of MSNBC, which called the GOP senator &#8220;Kremlin Cruz.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1395909624373682177?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cruz tweeted<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Is there a more pitiful example of corrupt corporate media than Brian Williams? He was fired as the anchor of NBC Nightly News for &#8216;misrepresenting events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003.&#8217; Now, he&#8217;s a left-wing hack at MSNBC.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adding in an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1395911036578971649?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ensuing tweet<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Now, he&#8217;s throwing a hissy fit that I criticized the ridiculously woke video that the Biden admin put out. Williams accidentally told the truth, when he describes it as &#8216;a video meant to diminish the U.S. military.&#8217; TRUE. That&#8217;s the problem. (The Pentagon put it out.)&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Continuing <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1395914190141935616?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Now, with his trademark ignorant snark, he&#8217;s dubbed me &#8216;Kremlin Cruz.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Three problems:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;(1) I hate communists, my family was imprisoned &amp; tortured by communists, and Brian is a shameless apologist for Russian (and Chinese and Cuban) communists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1395914884681019395?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adding<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;(2) I was arguing that our military needs to be able to kick the a** of Russian soldiers. It&#8217;s Brian &amp; his lefty comrades that are working relentlessly to diminish the effectiveness of the U.S. military \u2014 the finest fighting force on the face of the planet.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1395915698895998982?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">And tweeting<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;(3) JUST THIS WEEK Biden gave Putin a multi-billion-dollar gift, when he waived mandatory U.S. sanctions to allow Russia to build Nord Stream 2, a massive natural gas pipeline to Germany.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Who authored the sanctions that STOPPED NS2? That would be me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Before <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1395916321326522370?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concluding<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Cover that, Brian.
