Sen. Ted Cruz: Obama Started Trying to ‘Exploit’ Newtown Tragedy ‘Within Minutes’

Sen. Ted Cruz: Obama Started Trying to Exploit Newtown Tragedy Within Minutes

AP

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Sunday accused President Barack Obama of starting “within minutes” to “exploit” the Newtown, Conn. elementary school massacre for political gain.

“Within minutes of that horrible tragedy in Newtown, the president began trying to exploit that tragedy to push a gun control agenda that is designed to appeal to partisans, designed to appeal to his political partisans,” Cruz said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Obama’s only vow on the day of the shooting last month was to take “meaningful action” to prevent future tragedies. He formally rolled out his gun control proposals last week, which included calls for new bans on “military-style assault weapons” and high-capacity ammunition magazines.

Cruz said the new proposals “would have done zero to prevent the crime in Newtown.”

“Number two, many of the provisions are contrary to the constitutional protections of the Second Amendment, and number three, they don’t work,” he said.

Cruz, who was elected in November with Tea Party support, has been at the forefront of the anti-gun control fight. On “Meet the Press,” he called the expired assault weapons ban one of the “least successful bills that has ever put in place.”

“When the ban expired there were roughly 700 murders using all rifles,” he said. “Today there are roughly 300, that’s less than half — this is not designed to actually solve the problem of violent crime, this is designed to assuage liberal partisans who want to push gun control.”

      He acted on it within minutes….. I see… that means he must have known about the event in advance in order to exploit it so quickly. I wonder if he or any of his transparent organizations had any role in institgating and helping Adam Lanza go berserk and do what he did. Drugs? Pych Ops?

      Ok before we get all conspiracy crazy. This is just word from some senator against gun control. He wasn’t with Obama within minutes of the shooting. He probably didn’t see him all day. And all Obama did that day was pledge to take meaningful action. Its just an attack by the senator to try and demonize and make illigitimate the gun control debate.

      Yes, because a dictator would allow the opposition to put the kibosh on important legislation the dictator wants passed. Because that’s what dictators do. And as far as exploiting a tragedy, perhaps this guy never heard of Dubya, or ol’ 9/11 whore Rudy Giuliani.

      When the diminutive mayor of Chicago said, “Never let a crisis go to waste,” did anyone think he was kidding? These are ruthless people, capable of the lowest, most cynical kind of behavior. This guy will exploit any opportunity to wound the nation so that his rage against it will be assuaged. I think it is abundantly clear that he is bent on the destruction of America. For you doubters, quit listening to what he says and start watching what he does. He is a liar, a fraud, and a despot as tyrannical as any of the monsters we witnessed in the 20th century. If not for the millions of guns in the hands of millions of people who are willing lay down their lives for the defense of the Constitution you would see him exercise raw, hateful, and bloody power like the worst of them.

      Actually the President of the United States did not make a statement “within minutes.” That is a flat out lie, obviously false on the surface. Just going by memory here he spoke publicly seven or eight hours after the murders. I guess “within minutes” comment was meant to bring out and support the conspiracy theorists, as provably false as that statement is (even Romney waited a couple of hours before blaming President Obama – not terrorists – for the Benghazi attack). In any case, Presidents generally address issues after national tragedies. It’s a new phenomenon to call that “exploitation.”

      I appreciate the smart politics of claiming that talking about gun after mass murders with semi-automatic guns with high capacity clips are “exploiting” the dead and saying that it’s disrespectful to the people with their brains blown out to make any comments about gun control. It’s smart that those event happen so regularly that, according to this logic, no one can ever talk about gun control.

      What’s ironic about Cruz’s statement that is that he says he’s offended that the President spoke about gun control given all the bullet ridden dead kids, he, in the same interview expressed support for the NRA position that President Obama’s kids should be DEAD center in the gun debate, you know, because they have Secret Service protection. He’s okay with the President’s children being brought into the scope and says that’s not “exploitation.”

    @ DonsFirstWife, and EVERYBODY else – from the article in Pravda:

    “Moscow fell, for example, not from a lack of weapons to defend it, but from the lying guile of the Reds. Ten thousand Reds took Moscow and were opposed only by some few hundreds of officer cadets and their instructors. Even then the battle was fierce and losses high. However, in the city alone, at that time, lived over 30,000 military officers (both active and retired), all with their own issued weapons and ammunition, plus tens of thousands of other citizens who were armed. The Soviets promised to leave them all alone if they did not intervene. They did not and for that were asked afterwards to come register themselves and their weapons: where they were promptly shot.”

      In re your post:
      “…back in 2008, Democrats attempted to downplay then-candidate Barack Obama’s hostility toward gun owners and our Second Amendment freedoms by putting this line in their party’s platform (emphasis added):

      We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation, BUT WE KNOW THAT WHAT WORKS IN CHICAGO MAY NOT WORK IN CHEYENNE.

      In this year’s platform, however, Team Obama has shortened this passage to read:

      We believe that the right to own firearms is subject to reasonable regulation.

      Gone is any mention of Chicago. That’s because life in the criminal utopia that Obama helped build there is not pretty.

      When he was a candidate and lawmaker from Southside Chicago, Barack Obama endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership.

      He also voted to ban most commonly owned rifles and shotguns, and even voted against legal protections for people who used firearms to defend themselves or their families from deadly attacks.

      Despite a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that declared Chicago’s gun ban unconstitutional, the city’s stifling restrictions on gun ownership make it nearly impossible for law-abiding citizens to use a firearm for self-defense.”

    That interview was infuriating. Ted Cruz had the perfect opportunity to go on the offense with David Gregory and he didn’t do it. He could have destroyed Gregory’s credibility by simply asking him why he didn’t play the entire NRA ad. Or better yet, demand he play the entire ad to expose Gregory’s hypocrisy and obsfucation f the fact that the ad showed HIM as being one of the elites who send his own kids to private schools with armed security. And THEN Cruz let Gregory get away with saying Obama’s kids are protected by the Secret Service. David Gregory sends is kids to the same schoo the Obama’s send ther kids to. Sidwell Friends. It’s been all over the place that they have 11 armed guards.

      The liberal marxist communists are pushing the whole gun control agenda to disarm the People because they are afraid of of the People. That is a good thing and they should be afraid. They realize they cannot move forward with their power grab and communist agenda as long as the People are armed and can fight back. The rational for gun control and the measures they desire to implement make no sense and will not work.

      Here’s what will work. All school campuses should be fenced with a brick wall fence (to prevent students/faculty from a shooter off campus) with one main entrance onto the school campus. An armed school guard (s) should be stationed at the main gate entrance. Student and civilian vehicles will not be allowed on/in the school campus. they must park off campus. All employee and vendor vehicles coming onto the school campus get searched by the gate entrance guard. All people must walk through the main school campus entrance and go through a metal detector. Mutliple metal detectors and turnstile entrance ways can be employed. This way, no gun or other metal weapon can ever make it onto a school campus. All bags/backpacks/brief cases would be hand searched.

      Hey Guz what sounds more “messed” up to you. To ban all weapons from both in and around a school leaving all those inside defenseless, or to have armed guards at the school who can respond in an instant to any threat. The liberal progressive elites in this country send their children to schools that have armed guards, but want to deny average Americans of the same protection for their children. I mean if you have a brain in your head the answer is an obvious one. However you prove once again that the progressive liberal argument is not based in reality but only on emotion and is bereft of any logical thought. To liken armed security for the protection of America’s children to a “prison camp” is completely and utterly ridiculous.

      @blackcrow,

      Strawman argument.

      You give two fallacies and say pick one. You think it will be a Muslim invasion or cracking down on our liberties like we have seen in every other country in this world?

      What you are insinuating is wrong, that we can implement something completely irrational if the right person is in power. This is the New Deal to liberals – liberals claim that all of the entitlement programs would have run great if their had just been a progressive dictator in power for the last 80 years. The problem with that is we have a Republic form of government where people are elected democratically. Thus instituting long term programs to “secure” the future for elderly or “protect” us from terrorists is completely irrational. These acts were done under the guise of security & safety. Now we have bigger government, we are not safer and both parties leading us there.

      Blackcrow don’t measure a bill, law or program by “who” creates it because Democrats and Republicans can make government bigger. Measure from a philosophy, because it is then done from principle and consistency.

      Good luck

      It was easy, Obama had this Gun Control campaign ready to go and on the shelf since Fast and Furious . F & F blow up in his and Holder’s face and he now stands om the graves of inoccent school children.

      Obama will never be able to fundamentaly change America fully unless he gets the Guns.

    That’s the MO of Obama and his gang.
    They exploit tragedies and children and then cry ‘foul’ when someone mentions obama’s children.
    They are Hypocrites and ghouls.

      But as always, the pundits on the right go with the Obamamedia narrative. For example, Krauthammer, who has a lot of clout, condemned the NRA ad.

      Pray tell me why? No one denies that Barack’s children are a prime target. HOWEVER, given the tacit go-ahead the Barack Gang has given to those contributing to social chaos, all the children in America are now potential targets BECAUSE all gun-free zones are now potential targets.

      Anyone acquainted with terrorist tactics knows that there is no better target for a terrorist than a child. So thanks to Barack’s nonaction in the face of anarchy both at home and abroad, ALL children in America as well as ALL Americans abroad are especially vulnerable to terrorist attacks.

      The NRA ad was spot on. Barack is a hypocrite, a conniver and a vile worker of iniquity.

    After the initial feeling of horror after hearing of the Newtown murders how many of you just KNEW that this event would be used as a gun grab moment by the left? I thought it and shortly after was proven correct in my assumption by Obama, his media hacks and his political allies.

    Mr. Cruz is correct.

      RIGS: They were the so-called ” let the country have a revolution so we can fix it” which is also part of the radicals’ plan to destroy the capitalist system so that they can ” fundamentally change” the economic system. These guys share the same dysfunctional love of destruction.

      Oh you guys are cute. Romney’s record on gun legislation was appalling, yet you all think it would somehow be different? You’re all a bunch of Beohner style republicans…. Might as well be democrats blaming others for your parties inability to get enough votes to beat a president with such a stellar record. Pfft!

      if Romney was elected ignorant conservative wannabes would have allowed romney to do the same because they thought he was different. our guns might be restricted by now if Romney won, still glad he didn’t.

      I only hope that conservatives battle this all out BEFORE the next campaign. Only if conservatives UNITE and organize will they have a chance of beating the international radicals who now control the Democrat party . They have international best buddies , tons of money , AND the liberal international media behind them. That is how Obama got droned into the White House in the first place. Fight now. UNITE later! Our only hope. Division will mean disaster AGAIN…and the Chicago radicals will play that angle AGAIN….

      @RIGS
      That’s a lie! How else would they explain Barack’s win? His arenas were half-empty. The polls showed a very tight race that could go either way. Even women had come to their senses and were switching to our side. It was Barack’s disenchanted voters who stayed home, NOT ours.

      Please wake up. The election was rigged. You cannot believe one freaking word the media says.

    We know that the Chicago radicals will not ” waste a crisis ” to push their agenda : remember the Zimmerman Media circus ? remember the “video caused the 9/11 protests” media fiasco ? The Obama Chicago radicals and their propaganda arm, the MSM, are molding a ” new, fundamentally transformed, changed ” America. That is quite ” transparent ! “

    IMO that’s because he and his Chicage goons were responsible for the murders of those innocent babies and adults. I totally believe that the government was in some way behind every sing mass killings since 2011 for one resons on another. I know no one wants to think in those terms about their elected officials, but the big power players are ruthless, sneeky, cold hearted and masters of lying and deception. They will stop short of nothing to achieve their goals and if you, I, or even school children need to be sacrificed to those ends, it bye-bye baby. Open your eyes America, you’re under attack from within.

      Very funny, but let’s be honest. I think that anyone with two functioning brain cells that share at least one neuron a day knows very well that this was well in the works even before the Liar-in-Chief tried to claim that he would not be trying to violate the Second Amendment during the debates last fall. His body language clearly showed that even though he was expecting it, it was a “gotcha moment” and he had to go into spin recovery mode and resort to rehearsed talking points. The tell is the funny pinching gesture that he so often does with his fingers. This is his outward manifestation of mentally referring to his notes when he cannot speak openly and honestly about a topic.

    He is absolutely correct .. Obama and the Dems and MSM were blaming guns (not the mentally deranged shooter) before those children’s bodies had even been removed from the school .. it was a VILE and DISGUSTING display of never let a crisis go to waste.

      You got that right……………. they could care less about the deaths of those babies and adults… their total focus and goal was specificlt to get people all fired up about guns so they can go for the 2nd amendment rights of American citizens. These people cannot be trusted to be honest with us. Everything they do we get lied to about, or the truth is with held until THEY decided we can be told about it. We have a communistic government administration in place and they need to be removed from office.
