Ted Cruz, who it seems is never one to mince words or shy away, has challenged Obama to “insult me to my face.” He also challenged the president to debate him and Wednesday night on Facebook repeated that call with a Facebook graphic.
The link leads to the campaign website with a larger image of Cruz in the ring. Viewers can enter in their information to “sign up now” for “Cruz v Obama: Stop the insults. Let’s debate how to best defend America.”
Cruz’s call for a debate comes in light of Obama’s partisan comments responding to GOP presidential candidates who have criticized the president’s plan to admit more Syrian refugees.
As the Hill reported, Cruz was referring to Obama’s “personal insults and attacks” as “utterly unbefitting of the president.” He also mentioned:
Obama was in Turkey when he mentioned it was “shameful” and “not American” to only allow Christian refugees from Syria into the United States. Comments also came from him in the Philippines when he said about Republicans “apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America.”
As the battle continues to heat up between Obama and the GOP, it seems that the Cruz campaign has become all the more creative.
