Ted Cruz: ‘In A Very Real Sense’ Biden Has ‘Funded The Death Squads That Murdered Jews’

 Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Joe Biden this week for policies that he says have led directly to Jews being murdered by terrorists.

Cruz made the remarks during an episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about new updates from Israel’s war against Hamas and the political impact that it’s had in the U.S.

He said that the fallout of Hamas’ October 7 attack “somehow doesn’t seem to be very relevant to Joe Biden to the Democrats calculus” for the upcoming election.

“When he came into the White House, they systematically attacked Israel, they also funneled over $100 billion to Iran, they funded Iran, they funded Hamas,” Cruz said in referring to Biden’s relaxing of sanctions enforcement against Iran. “Now, they funded Hamas, both through Iran, because 90% of Hamas funding comes from Iran. They funded Hezbollah through Iran, because 90% of Hezbollah’s funding comes from Iran, but they also sent hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza, which they knew would go directly to Hamas and be used for terror killings, Joe Biden, which he somehow didn’t tell this to the college kids in the commencement address, in a very real sense, have funded the death squads that murdered Jews.”

Cruz also took a shot at Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY), saying that he is “the second greatest friend Hamas and Hezbollah has ever had.”

“And by the way, and historically, Schumer has always said, I’m an Israel guy,” Cruz said. “He’s defined himself as the defender of Israel. And he is right now defending Hamas and supporting Joe Biden and cutting off weapons to Israel. Like Chuck Schumer, the language and words he said for 30 years are all being turned on their head because Schumer, just like Biden, just like the rest of the Democrats is terrified of the radical left, that is their base.”
