“America’s enemies want to tear this country apart and are funding the mayhem we are seeing on college campuses,” he said. “They are trying to destroy this country, and sadly there are a lot of elected Democrats in Washington who are going along with that.”
According to Cruz, China is working not to benefit Hamas or Israel, but to weaken America, to cause chaos and paralyze the country, and potentially to fund protests on U.S. campuses. It is said that they are spending $100 million on this.
“You might think…what does China think about Hamas? What does China care about about Israel? And the truth is, they don’t. They care about America. They are concerned about tearing our country apart. They are concerned about fomenting chaos and dissent and dissent that paralyzes our country.” he said.

He also urged the Justice Department and FBI to investigate significant funding from organizations linked to China, Iran and the terrorist organizations behind anti-American and anti-Israel protests, but under the Biden administration He expressed doubts about conducting an investigation because of the politicization of the matter.
He said:
My confidence level that the FBI and Department of Justice are even paying attention to this matter is incredibly low. Because, sadly, this Biden Justice Department is highly politicized and they’re far more interested in going after little old ladies on the National Mall. On January 6th, if you were to find all the Facebook posts she posted 20 years ago waving American flags and saying “God bless America”, you might have noticed that communist China I was actually interested in finding out what millions of dollars were being spent trying to tear America apart.
Cruz noted that the influx of foreign students into Ivy League schools is economically beneficial, as opposed to students who come seeking real educational opportunities and freedom, and is free from anti-American and anti-Israel sentiments. It was argued that this raises concerns about the education of individuals who may have concerns about their education. “It’s very different from bringing in a bunch of anti-American, anti-Israel extremists,” he said.
“As far as I’m concerned, if you have a student on a student visa who goes out and burns the American flag and shouts ‘Death to America,’ they should be deported the same day,” he added.
He also mentioned the recent wall street journal Editorial highlight How Cuba is fueling U.S. campus protests, reveals how well-funded revolutionary groups with ties to Havana aim to destabilize the U.S. It has been revealed that they are receiving substantial support from intelligence agencies.
Mr. Cruz, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, later called on the Biden administration, the Internal Revenue Service and the FBI to investigate tax-exempt organizations funding campus protests, citing political bias and political bias. He reiterated his doubts that the current administration would act based on prejudice or ties to the United States. Funder:
In a normal world, the FBI would be investigating this closely. During the Trump presidency, we were observing nonsense that the entire Russia thing was completely fabricated. …Yet, there is no indication that the Department of Justice is doing anything to investigate this. There’s no indication that the FBI…is investigating this…and many of the donors, in addition to Chinese communists and Cuban communists, are also the biggest donors to the Democratic Party, so they’re… I don’t think they’ll investigate. The Department of Justice functions as an affiliated agency of the White House. It’s the executive branch of the Democratic Party. I mean, I don’t think they’re going to go after the top Democratic donors, because their goal is to reelect Joe Biden and others. [not] Stop foreign communist governments from inciting dissent, protect Jewish students on campus, stop universities from being demolished, stop airports from closing, stop highways from closing.
“Remember, these are the same people who didn’t want the deep state to do anything during the ‘Summer of Love,’ so I don’t believe the Biden administration will do anything outrageous,” he said. added.
He stressed that campus protests are highly organized and funded by various radical groups to exploit vulnerabilities in the United States.
“This is not organic. This is not happening spontaneously. This is highly orchestrated,” he said. “There’s a reason all these activists have the same tents, because the groups that are pushing this are sending out the same Amazon links to buy the tents, and they are… Because it’s funded by leftists, by anarchists, by… [and] by communists. ”

“It’s not just American communists. There are sadly too many of them,” he added. “It’s the Chinese Communists, the Communist Party of China. It’s the Cuban Communists, and they see this as a weakness in America and a way to tear us apart.”
Mr. Cruz later criticized elite organizations for condoning anti-Semitic behavior.
“Why on earth is Jerry Seinfeld so controversial as a campus leftist speaker right now? At Duke University’s commencement ceremony, oh, I saw about 50 anti-Semitic leftists storming out. ,” he said, noting that the iconic comedian “didn’t give a speech about Israel.”

“They just said, “Fuck you.” I don’t listen to Jews. I’m a very bigoted person. “I’m leaving,” he added.
He also highlighted a recent Columbia University graduation ceremony where some students angrily tore up their diplomas in support of the Palestinians.
“If you look at the recent graduation ceremony at Columbia University, the midgets walked up and tore the diploma in half. I mean, they were angry,” he said.
“They are biased against the left,” he explained. “Being a bigot [and] Hating Jews is now accepted on the left. That’s acceptable prejudice. ”
Universities could face the challenge of revoking diplomas if students tear them up during graduation, but Cruz said such actions could be detailed on transcripts. he suggested.
“If you actually paid tuition and passed all your classes, you could actually have a breach of contract claim. I don’t know if they can revoke your diploma at that point.” Well, what do you think? They could certainly print something like this on your transcript. [the student] Embarrassed that he graduated from Ole Miss, he tore up his diploma.What you need to know if you are thinking about hiring [such an individual],” He said.
He also suggested that parents carefully consider the political climate of their universities, especially those in blue states, as they may become more radicalized and have less protection for students, especially Jewish students. did.
“My long-held belief is that kids should go to the best school they can get into. And that opens doors. It opens doors for careers. It’s beneficial. I’m telling you, these places… The more radicalized I become, the less confident I become,” he said.
Cruz called this a “blue state problem,” particularly at institutions such as Columbia University, New York University, Yale University, Harvard University, Princeton University, UCLA, UC Berkeley, University of Southern California, and the University of Washington. , said it was “the fault of Democrats who won’t stand up.” Not protecting Jewish students, not opposing anti-Semitism, not locking up protesters, not stopping Hamas protesters, not stopping threats of violence. ”
“They are the same people who were totally powerless during the so-called Summer of Love and allowed anarchists to take over some of America’s major cities,” he added. “These are the same people who allowed Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters to shoot at police cars, loot stores, and commit criminal acts. We don’t see this in red states. yeah.”
Biden also accused President Biden of doing “absolutely nothing” to enforce federal civil rights laws and address the lack of protection for students facing threats, and the Democratic president said “anti-Semitic protesters are… “I want the votes of those who are political.”
“His administration also doesn’t seem to have any concerns about Chinese communist funding and Cuban communist funding and the supporters behind it,” he added.
