Ouch! Ted Cruz's response to Romney criticism of #IranDeal comments gets an 'amen to that'

With all respect to Mitt, amen to this. http://t.co/vzD9yU0J38

Texas Senator and GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz has criticized the Iran deal, saying it would make the Obama administration “the world’s leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism.” Cruz’s remarks came after U.S. National Security Adviser Susan Rice admitted that a portion of the funds released to Iran will inevitably go towards terrorism.

In spite of that, Mitt Romney scolded Cruz for what he said:

I am opposed to the Iran deal, but @SenTedCruz is way over the line on the Obama terrorism charge. Hurts the cause.

Cruz responded to Romney’s criticism this way:

Cruz Responds to Romney: There's a Reason He Got 'Clobbered' in 2012 http://t.co/bjWb4xKF0s (AUDIO) http://t.co/DT4UgfnvKA

Ouch!

Cruz pulled no punches:

“One of the reasons Republicans keep getting clobbered is that we have leaders like Mitt Romney or like Jeb Bush who are afraid.”

Time to try a different approach?

@DavidLimbaugh gotta love the way @SenTedCruz brings it to them rather than playing defense.
