Cruz: Biden Remains ‘Intent’ on Keeping Media From ‘Shining Light’ on Admin’s ‘Failures’
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is convinced President Joe Biden is unwilling to give the media access to facilities at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“This past Thursday and Friday, eighteen of my Senate colleagues and I visited the border and witnessed firsthand the staggering public health and humanitarian crisis caused by your policies,” Cruz wrote in a letter to the president.
He added, “We understand the heartbreaking tragedy unfolding at the border because we were there. We saw it. But the American people are unable to see it because you remain intent on keeping the media from shining a light on your administration’s failures.”
The senator mentioned the press conference Republican senators held at the border on Friday.
“Journalists from across the country came to report. Yet not a single one of those cameras, and not a single one of those reporters, was allowed inside the Donna Facility that we toured earlier that day,” Cruz continued.
He explained, “They could not show the American people what it looks like when a tent city built to house 250 children under COVID restrictions instead houses 4,200. They could not show the American people cages after cages of little boys lying side-by-side, of little girls lying side-by-side, covered with reflective emergency blankets with virtually no space between them.”
Cruz mentioned the infants and toddlers allegedly brought to the border by “human traffickers and then left alone,” adding reporters “could not see the row of children who, having just been crammed into the crowded cages, were now testing positive for COVID-19.”
Writing to Biden directly, Cruz said, “The reporters and the cameras could not see any of this because you, President Biden, prevented it.”
Cruz mentioned an incident he had with a Biden administration official who attempted to block him from taking photos of inside a border facility.
“This is outrageous. The Trump administration allowed media into DHS facilities. So did the Obama administration, the Bush administration, and the Clinton administration. But you want to hide what is going on,” he argued.
Concluding his letter, he called on Biden to “stop denying reality, confront the consequences of your policies, and allow the media access to these facilities.”
I wonder why Phyllis stays away from threads like this? I presume she is all bullshitted out.
Mad King Biden the Usurper and Divider lies and tries to hide all his failures. The Democrat State Media backs him 100 %. Notice that the DEmocrat State Media hasn’t complained about being barred from showing or reporting on the epic failure of the Mad King’s administration. First the Mad King told those South of the border that they would be welcomed and provided for in the way of welfare and healthcare during the campaign (He denies it of course). Then, only a couple of weeks in, he says that he’ll give 11 million ‘undocumented non-citizens’ (can’t say illegals anymore) free green cards. What did this dolt think was going to happen? Every person South of the border left their homes to come to America. The highways coming up through Central America are filled from side to side as far as you can see. Then, the Mad King says, “I din do nuttin”. This incompetent nursing home escapee that was put in the White House by massive cheating will be the end of America as we know it.
Biden’s only transparency is that we can see right through him.
Good or bad, where is the press?
Good luck with that.
