The White House is not taking any chances when it comes to battling misinformation, especially from the news outlet that seems to have it out for President Trump. Recent reports from CNN claim that Trump’s military strategy, particularly the use of bunker-buster bombs against Iranian nuclear facilities, did not achieve the intended effect. But not everyone agrees with this assessment, including Senator Ted Cruz, who recently spoke out against these allegations.
In an emphatic defense of President Trump’s actions, Senator Cruz pointed out that the results of the military operation were nothing less than “spectacular.” He highlighted that seven B-2 bombers successfully dropped 14 massive 30,000-pound bombs on three Iranian sites. The best part? Not a single American soldier was harmed in the operation. Cruz praised the bravery and precision of the American servicemen and women who executed this mission, emphasizing its effectiveness in crippling Iran’s nuclear ambitions. It’s like a well-oiled machine that operates with flawless precision—much like a well-run government, if you ask some folks!
While Cruz was acknowledging the successes of this military strike, he also took a moment to take a jab at CNN. According to him, the media outlet seems to have a vendetta against President Trump, throwing stones from the sidelines instead of providing accurate reporting. He even quipped about how CNN has been obsessed with painting Trump in a negative light since he took office in 2017. In his view, they have devolved into a channel that can’t think of anything more clever than comparing the President to historical figures like Adolf Hitler. It’s a little like trying to roast marshmallows over an empty campfire—just not a whole lot there.
Cruz elaborated on the bigger picture, asserting that the Democrats seem to lack a constructive agenda these days. Instead of celebrating a major military victory that helps to protect the nation, they seem to focus on tearing down the President. While Cruz was busy extolling the virtues of this military operation, he pointed out that the Democrats were instead spending time trying to slam down President Trump’s defense efforts. To him, this reaction paralleled the overall frustration many feel towards the left.
Now, Cruz didn’t hold back when discussing why he believes CNN and Democrats have taken such a stance against President Trump. He argued that with the ongoing threats posed by Iran, especially the Ayatollah’s aggressive anti-American rhetoric, it’s puzzling that anyone would not support actions that aim to protect American lives. The Ayatollah’s ambitions for intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are not lost on Cruz. He sees them as a direct threat, and if the Ayatollah truly means to destroy America, then the work done lately by Trump to neutralize those threats should be cheered instead of ridiculed.
As Cruz wrapped up his segment, it became clear that he wasn’t just defending Trump; he was making a larger statement about American unity and vigilance in the face of threats. Instead of finding camaraderie in protecting the nation, it seems many in the opposition are more focused on partisan blame. Cruz calls for solidarity in keeping Americans safe because, at the end of the day, that’s what really counts. And while the back-and-forth between media and politicians continues, one thing remains true: when it comes to national security, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
