Sen. Ted Cruz's thread drops some harsh reality on lefties triggered by his 5-point outline of Biden's 'anti-crime plan'

Doug P. | 12:45 PM on June 24, 2021

Yesterday President Biden, joined by AG Merrick Garland, outlined a plan that he says will stop and reverse a big rise in crime in many U.S. cities. Biden also told some lies in response to claims made by the “gun lobby” and reminded 2nd Amendment proponents that the government is the one with F-15s and nuclear weapons.

Senator Ted Cruz summed up Biden’s plan this way:

Biden releases 5-point anti-crime plan:

1) take everyone’s guns;

2) abolish the police;

3) release violent criminals from jail;

4) give violent felons stimulus $$ and make them legal voters; and

…(5) hide!

Cruz addressed the blowback by dropping some reality in the rest of his thread:

For all the liberal commentators who are screaming “lies, lies, lies!” well, facts matter. You’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. And these (somewhat joking) positions reflect ACTUAL POLICY POSITIONS taken by the Biden Admin.

Examples? Here are just a few:

1) Last year, Anderson Cooper said, “So, to gun owners out there who say, 'Well, a Biden administration means they’re going to come for my guns.’” Biden replied, Bingo." pic.twitter.com/8gnSU388gm

And Biden nominated David Chipman to the ATF.

2) Biden picked Kristen Clarke who wrote 3x in an op ed, "We must invest less in police”

And Biden picked Vanita Gupta who called for “decrease[d] police budgets and the scope, role, and responsibility of police in our lives.”https://t.co/YuvjoJtuCy https://t.co/67C8HDP1i5

3) Violent criminals have been released all across the country.
