The senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized the Biden family after the US Department of Justice confirmed this week, the laptop connected to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is actually his.
Cruz made the remarks during the latest episode of his podcast “Verdict” with co-host Ben Ferguson this week after the revelation was made in federal court as Hunter Biden’s legal team attempted to have the case dropped. one of the criminal cases against him.
“Look, this is a stunning admission. That means Joe Biden lied to the American people,” Cruz said. “Hunter Biden lied to the American people. Almost every elected American Democrat has lied to the American people. Almost every major media outlet that has repeated the Democrats’ arguments has lied to the American people.”
Cruz noted that much of the lies about the laptop occurred in October 2020, just weeks before the presidential election.
Speaking about former intelligence officials who signed a letter saying they believed the Hunter Biden laptop story had the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign, Cruz said they “ demonstrated that they were ready to be partisan.”
“They are willing to lie to the American people,” he said. “And they don’t feel obligated to tell the truth. I mean, this does enormous damage to the Department of Justice, to the FBI, because they knew that what Biden was saying and what was being said publicly was a total lie.
Cruz said reporters should interview the dozens of officials who signed the letter and ask them if they are embarrassed or if they will apologize to the American people.
“I don’t think there will be a single journalist who will ask them that question because the mainstream media also participated in these lies,” he said. “They are not embarrassed, they are not ashamed. And they’re certainly not going to ask the liars who participated in what’s going on, you mean election interference? This is blatant election interference.
Biden’s DOJ has demonstrated that it is willing to be partisan and lie to the American people.
This undermines the rule of law and erodes trust in our institutions.
Nowhere is this clearer than when Biden bureaucrats lied about Hunter’s laptop.https://t.co/5NdY9fHTAa pic.twitter.com/kHkJxRCkyk
