Sen. Ted Cruz said Thursday that the anti-Trump press is so opposed to President Trump that it’s covering stories nobody cares about, like Stormy Daniels’ ongoing lawsuit against him.
“Most of the media, they’re just out of their mind,” Cruz, R-Texas, told Fox News. “They have what I call Trump Derangement Syndrome, where all they can do is attack the president all day long on the scandal of the day.”
He said in Texas, nobody cares about the Stormy Daniels case, which some networks were playing up even as Trump helped ensure the return of three U.S. citizens who were detained in North Korea.
“When I go home, nobody asks about the latest scandal of the day and whatever the talking heads are lighting their hair on fire about,” Cruz said. “People are excited about tax cuts, about regulations being lifted, about jobs growing.”
Cruz predicted he would win his re-election campaign, and said his opponent, Rep. Beto O’Rourke, is mostly raising money from people outside Texas.
“Fortunately, Hollywood celebrities don’t tend to vote a whole lot in Texas elections,” he said.
