Ted Cruz squirms on CNN as Kaitlan Collins grills him over Trump’s 9/11 claims

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyle(Getty)Texas Senator Ted Cruz faced widespread backlash after defending President Donald Trump against accusations that he fabricated a story about 9/11 firefighters. During a speech on the Ellipse, Trump claimed two firefighters lifted and ran with him away from a creaking building in Manhattan following the attacks. Appearing on CNN's "The Source," Cruz defended Trump's account as a traumatic personal experience, despite critics pointing out a lack of supporting evidence. Critics and commentators derided Cruz as a "bootlicker" and a "coward" for coming to Trump's defense. Trump forcefully defended his account on Truth Social and confirmed he will attend 9/11 commemorations at the Pentagon rather than Ground Zero.
