Ted Cruz unleashes on Biden, Dems over 'repulsive' protests, says US lacking 'real presidential leadership'

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, criticized President Biden on the "Brian Kilmeade Show" Thursday, saying he "is not willing to do anything" about growing antisemitism in the Democratic Party. Cruz said Biden and Democrats are "terrified" of alienating voters who are anti-Israel and have been "taught to hate America."

TED CRUZ:I got to say, Joe Biden and the entire Democrat Party leadership has been AWOL as we are seeing this horrific antisemitism erupting on college campuses across the country. The protests, the anti-Semitic protests, the anti-Israel protests we're seeing have been disgusting. They have been repulsive. These are radicals whose minds have been poisoned. They have been taught to hate Israel, and they've been taught to hate America. And they are chanting in support of Hamas and in support of vicious terrorists. You look at a university, the Orthodox rabbi at Columbia, advising them to stay home because they said Columbia cannot and will not protect your safety. That is utterly unacceptable. And the university administrators side with the radicals. They side with the protesters and Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer. And the Democrat leadership is terrified of alienating the radical anti-Israel base. And so they are silenced. Joe Biden is basically in witness protection because he's unwilling to speak out and infuriate the radical left in the Democrat Party.
