Ted Cruz says Leftist Signal-gate slander is a complete failure
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said the Democrats' attempted takedown of President Donald Trump over Signal-gate "failed utterly" after a new CBS News poll revealed that his approval rating did not suffer after the incident.
On Monday's episode of "Verdict," the senator's podcast he co-hosts with radio personality Ben Ferguson, Cruz said the left-wing media wants to use the Signal messages leaked by the Atlantic to "destroy" Trump:
The Left is not subtle. The Democrats in the media, they tell you exactly what they're doing, and they're all monolithic because they believe in censorship. They believe in propaganda. Every one of them says exactly the same thing, 100 percent of the time. And listen, it's clear they hate Donald Trump. They want to destroy him. They hate everything he's doing. And they looked at this Signal text thread as their big chance. This was going to be their "Russia, Russia, Russia," that they were going to use to go after the President, to go after every one of his appointees.
The Signal-gate incident was first reported last week by Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who shared screenshots from an encrypted group chat full of senior Trump administration officials that he appeared to have been mistakenly added to by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz.
