During Saturday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Life, Liberty & Levin,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) reminded viewers of the Democratic Party’s racist tradition and President Joe Biden’s ties to that tradition.
The Texas Republican said Biden and Democrats didn’t believe minorities could think for themselves.
“The Democratic Party has a terrible record on race, and Joe Biden is right in the middle of it,” he said. “They were the ones that founded the Ku Klux Klan. They were the ones that wrote Jim Crow. The Democratic Party is built on racism. And by the way, as a Republican, the first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln. Our party was literally founded to overthrow slavery, and we succeeded in doing so. And the Democrats are blatant racism bait. They’re trying to divide us on race. They’re trying to scare the African-American community with baseless lies.”
Cruz added, “Joe Biden is against school choice, so he’s doing everything he can to keep African-American youth and Hispanic kids in failing schools. He’s been bought and paid for by the teachers unions. And the lie that the media tells is, yeah, Democrats were racist for 100 years and then they magically transformed. Well, you and I know that Sen. Robert Byrd was the Senate Majority Leader and Democrats were revered as a Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan and Joe Biden gave a eulogy for him.”
“Now, we have to see if you’re giving a eulogy for a KKK member. You’re not in the moral position when it comes to race. But remember, Biden is just hypocritically abusing the issue of race. Remember when he said he was running against Trump he said if you didn’t vote for Biden you weren’t black? He doesn’t believe African-Americans, or for that matter Hispanics, women, young people, anyone can think for themselves. He wants everyone to be captives of Democratic power instead.
