WATCH: CBS Censored This “Warning to America” From Ted Cruz (VIDEO)
When Ted Cruz recently appeared on Face the Nationon CBS, he discussed Obama’s targeting of his political opponents using the vast power and resources of the federal government.
Obama’s political prosecution of conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza caused the producer of D’Souza’s film exposing Obama’s radical background (who also happens to be the producer of the Academy Award-winning movieSchindler’s List) to call Obama out on his “Soviet” style tactics.
Cruz pointed out that liberals would be outraged if Sean Penn or Michael Moore had been targeted by the Bush Administration for prosecution. In fact, Cruz’s attack on Obama was so devastating that CBS didn’t want the public to see it, so they cut the segment out. This segment was supposed to air just a few days before Obama’s State of the Union address. Unbelievable.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on CBS Face the Nation on Sunday morning and was met with a barrage of questions from host Bob Schieffer about his involvement in the government shutdown. Apart from being the victim of Schieffer’s accusations that the Tea Party senator was to blame for the shutdown, it also appears that Mr. Cruz was the victim of editing by CBS.
Based on video from Senator Cruz’s YouTube page and what aired on today’sFace the Nation broadcast, the senator’s comments surrounding President Obama’s “abuse of power” were edited from the program. Instead what aired was a segment that ignored many of the senator’s complaints directed at President Obama.
Here’s a transcript of Cruz’s exchange with Schieffer, along with a video of his remarks:
SCHIEFFER: “Will you run for President?”
CRUZ: “My focus is on the abuse of power of this President. Let’s take something like the IRS scandal-“
SCHIEFFER: “Do I take that as a yes or a no?”
CRUZ: “What you can take is that my focus is standing and fighting right now in the Senate to bring back jobs and economic growth. Let me tell you something that is deeply concerning—the abuse of power from this Administration. We’ve seen multiple filmmakers prosecuted and the government’s gone after them. Whether it’s the poor fellow that did the film that the President blamed Benghazi and the terrorist attacks on, turns out that wasn’t the reason for the attack but the Administration went and put that poor fellow in jail on unrelated charges. Just this week it was broken that Dinesh D’Souza, who did a very big movie criticizing the president, is now being prosecuted by this Administration.”
SCHIEFFER: “Senator-“
CRUZ: “Can you image the reaction if the Bush Administration had went, gone and prosecuted Michael Moore and Alec Baldwin and Sean Penn?”
SCHIEFFER: Senator–
CRUZ: It should trouble everyone the government uses government power and the IRS in particular to target their enemies and you are talking a new minutes to Chuck Schumer—“
SCHIEFFER: “We are going to leave this for another day, senator. Thank you for joining us and we’ll talk to you again.”
Apart from being rude and interrupting a United States Senator, this just exchange just shows that the Schieffer and the media has protecting Obama as its number one priority. When a high-profile senator levels serious accusations like these against the President of the United States, the viewers deserve to be able to hear them.
