Breitbart: TED CRUZ: ‘RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM’ & EXEC AMNESTY ‘GLARINGLY ABSENT’ FROM SOTU
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) noticed that President Barack Obama did not even mention his executive amnesty or specifically call out "radical Islamic terrorism" during his Tuesday State of the Union address.
In an appearance on Cavuto on Fox Business, Cruz said there were "two things that were glaringly absent" from Obama's remarks-"any reference to his illegal and unconstitutional executive amnesty" and "radical Islamic terrorism."
Regarding Obama's executive amnesty, Cruz said, "it's pretty clear that the president realizes that the issue is a political loser for him."
Speaking about the growing global terrorism threat, Cruz marveled that the words "radical Islamic terrorism" were "strikingly absent" from Obama's speech.
"You cannot defeat terrorism with a president who's unwilling to utter the words ‘radical islamic terrorism,'" he said.
Cruz said Obama's speech was especially "disappointing" because Obama "doubled down" on his failed policies that Obama said was on the ballot during last year's midterm elections. Though voters rejected more government spending and taxes that have produced the lowest labor participation rate since 1978, Obama, Cruz said, did not say one word in acknowledgement of that.
