Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Vice President Kamala Harris’ “scripted” interview with CNN this week, but gave her credit for telling the truth on one thing: Her “values have not changed.”

Cruz made the remarks during an episode of this “Verdict” podcast this week while discussing the Democratic Party presidential nominee’s first interview, which she was unable to do by herself.

“Verdict” co-host Ben Ferguson said that “comrade Kamala” wants “a 70% to 80% tax rate, no cash bail, gun confiscation, zero fracking, a ban on gasoline-powered cars.”

Cruz said that Harris’ “my values have not changed” line was something that her campaign came up with to be her “lead talking point on any flip-flop that she got pressed” on.

“And actually, at some level, that’s the truest statement she made the entire interview because Kamala Harris is a radical leftist,” he said. “She is extreme. And she still believes all this stuff. And you know what? It’s the reason why nobody on the Left is unhappy that she’s suddenly running away from her positions because they know she’s lying.”

“Let’s be clear. Border Czar Kamala Harris was in charge of this invasion,” he continued. “It happened on her watch, and if, God forbid, she becomes president, it will get worse. And everyone gets the joke. All the leftists know she still believes all this stuff. She just has to say some more conservative things in the campaign to fool the gullible voters, but none of her radical supporters believe for a moment she’s right.”

“Her values have not changed,” he added. “She still believes every word of that montage, and God forbid, if she’s in the Oval Office, she’ll do all of that and more. Unlike Joe Biden. Joe Biden is a senile puppet. Kamala Harris is a true believer.”

Kamala Harris’s new talking point for her flip flops is: “My values have not changed.”

That’s the truest statement she’s said. She is still committed to her radical leftist ideas like supporting an 80% tax rate, abolishing ICE, and the Green New Deal.https://t.co/spnPG8fnz1 pic.twitter.com/6E4snR7AEh

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced his support for legalizing marijuana in the state of Florida, but said that it should be banned from being consumed in public.

Trump made the remarks in a post on Truth Social Saturday afternoon in response to Amendment 3, which will be on the ballot this fall.

“In Florida, like so many other States that have already given their approval, personal amounts of marijuana will be legalized for adults with Amendment 3,” he said. “Whether people like it or not, this will happen through the approval of the Voters, so it should be done correctly. We need the State Legislature to responsibly create laws that prohibit the use of it in public spaces, so we do not smell marijuana everywhere we go, like we do in many of the Democrat run Cities.”

He said that using marijuana should no longer be criminalized in the state of Florida considering that it is legal in some other states.

“We do not need to ruin lives & waste Taxpayer Dollars arresting adults with personal amounts of it on them, and no one should grieve a loved one because they died from fentanyl laced marijuana,” he said.

“As everyone knows, I was, and will be again, the most respected LAW & ORDER President in U.S. History,” he added. “We will take our streets back by being tough & smart on violent, & all other types, of Crime.”

Floridians will have the opportunity to vote “yes” or “no” on the measure this fall, with the measure needing 60% to pass.

If passed, estimates show that legalizing marijuana could generate between $200 million and $430 million a year in tax revenues for the state.
