Ted Cruz is not a Republican given to hiding his true feelings. So, as the Texas Senator wandered the corridors of Congress on Wednesday, a reporter asked for his views on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that Donald Trump had just signed with Iran.
“Giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea,” Cruz responded, with a pained expression clearly visible on his face.
“I think the President unfortunately is receiving bad advice on this deal,” he added, well aware that the ink on the 14-point agreement his party’s leader had signed in the gilded halls of Versailles was still barely dry.
