‘Utter and Complete Bullsh*t’: Ted Cruz Rails Against Obama’s Comments About Israeli ‘Occupation’
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) railed against former President Barack Obama’s analysis of Israel’s war with Hamas on Monday, calling it “utter and complete bullshit” and “a lie.”
During an appearance on the Pod Save America podcast this week, Obama said:
If there’s any chance of us being able to act constructively, to do something, it will require an admission of complexity and maintaining what on the surface may seem contradictory ideas. That what Hamas did was horrific and there’s no justification for it, and what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.
Obama also remarked that “nobody’s hands are clean” and that “all of us are complicit to some degree.”
On SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, Monday, Cruz condemned Obama’s comments and accused him of being responsible in part for Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israeli civilians.
“What utter and complete bullshit,” said Cruz. “Was there something else you could have done? Here’s an idea. Don’t give $100 billion to the monsters who are committing these massacres.”
The senator then told host Megyn Kelly:
Barack Obama led the effort to flood cash into Iran. The Ayatollah in Iran leads mobs chanting “death to America and death to Israel.” They want to commit mass murder, they want to eliminate the state of Israel, they want to murder every Jew. Hamas, more than 90% of the funding of Hamas comes from Iran. Hezbollah, more than 90% of the funding from Hezbollah comes from Iran. Barack Obama funded them and then you listen, he says, “Well, what Hamas did was indefensible and there’s no justification for it, but let me give a justification for it.”
Cruz concluded, “He actually uses the same line that the radicals at Harvard did, and of course Barack Obama’s a graduate of the Harvard Law School, just a few years ahead of me, and his justification, he says ‘the occupation is unbearable.’ What occupation? This is a lie, and it’s a lie the radical left pushes. Gaza is not occupied. Israel left Gaza.”
