À propos de cet audio
Ted Cruz is making waves in Washington this week as he renews his push to roll back recent police reforms in the District of Columbia. On Monday, he introduced the CLEAN DC Act, aiming to overturn DC’s anti-chokehold law and restore what he calls real law and order in the capital. Cruz is partnering closely with President Donald Trump and other Republican senators, responding directly to Trump’s recent federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department. According to the Washington Examiner, Cruz blames what he calls Democratic “anti-police” measures for DC’s continued high crime rates, presenting this new bill as a reversal of what he characterizes as a “public safety disaster.” Co-sponsors include Senators Mike Lee, Jim Risch, and Tommy Tuberville, with a companion bill coming to the House soon.
Public statements have been coming fast and furious. Cruz was just on Fox News’s Hannity, casting Trump as tough and decisive on crime compared to President Biden, whom he paints as weak and appeasing on law enforcement. In terms of podcasting, he dropped a bonus episode of "Verdict with Ted Cruz," where he dove deep into Trump’s military moves against Venezuela’s Maduro regime and broader efforts to classify drug cartels as terrorist organizations, lending Cruz’s voice to one of this administration’s most controversial foreign policy stances.
Social media remains one of Cruz’s favorite battlegrounds. Over the weekend, he couldn’t resist wading into the culture wars. When New York Governor Kathy Hochul wore a headscarf to honor a fallen Muslim police officer, Cruz needled her on X, formerly Twitter, sparking accusations of hypocrisy when users posted photos of Cruz in a yarmulke during his own New York campaign stops. Hochul fired back, defending her actions and calling for basic decency.
Cruz is also making headlines for defending actress Sydney Sweeney in the American Eagle “good genes” ad controversy, mocking critics from what he calls the “crazy left” and archly defending beauty, denim, and the American way of life according to AOL. In Texas, a celebrated barbecue joint found itself in the social media crossfire after sharing photos of Cruz enjoying a meal there; opinions online were sharply divided, to say the least.
Beyond politics and pop culture, Cruz is keeping his ties to the military strong. He’s set to co-host a Service Academy Day with Senator John Cornyn and Congressman Mike McCaul in Round Rock, Texas on September 13, focusing on getting the next generation into the nation’s top military institutions.
