Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped President Joe Biden following his trip to Normandy, France, this week to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Cruz made the remarks during his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s recent comparison between D-Day and the war in Ukraine.

“This White House does all politics all the time. That’s what they do, they spin, spin, spin,” he said. “And the two are fundamentally different. You know, I wish they would treat a solemn commemoration like this for what it is, a solemn commemoration, and not treat it as another day of politics.”

He then ripped Biden for his policy of appeasement toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, arguing that it was Biden’s fault that the war erupted in the first place.

“Joe Biden gave multibillion dollar gifts to Vladimir Putin when he waived sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, sanctions that I authored, I wrote the legislation,” he said. “And Putin stopped building that pipeline the day President Trump signed my sanctions legislation into law.”

He continued, “If Donald Trump were still in the White House, the war in Ukraine would not have happened. It’s Joe Biden’s weakness that caused the war in Ukraine. And by the way, as much as Biden and Blinken want to see themselves as Churchill and FDR, if there is a World War Two analogy, then Biden is Neville Chamberlain. He is the one who is weak, he is the appeaser. He is the one who gave billions to Russia. He is the one who gives billions to Iran. He’s the one that constantly showed weakness to our enemies, which is why we went from peace and prosperity, what he inherited three and a half years ago, to two simultaneous wars playing out across the face of the globe.”

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) slammed far-left commentator Elie Mystal on Friday after Mystal claimed this week that black Republicans existed solely because “the grift is good.”

Mystal made the remarks during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” with controversial host Joy Reid while discussing the latest left-wing hit piece to be published against conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Scott responded to the remarks during a Fox News interview on Friday with Trace Gallagher.

“Hear me clearly, they are shaking in their boots,” Scott said. “What you hear is fear. It’s palpable. Why? Because without the black vote, there is no Democrat Party. President Trump is not playing racial politics, but he is aware that America builds a better future together. He is aware that making sure that all Americans have a chance to live their version of the American dream, it’s good for our country.”

“So absolutely, the Left, they’re losing their minds because they’re losing their voters,” he continued. “It’s good news for our future, and it’s great news for right now. We must win because September and October, the Democrats are going to pull out all stops. They are going to do things including lying and cheating without any question.”

“The coalition will stand the test of time because we have a record to run on,” he concluded. “It’s not promises of the future. It’s the fact that we brought more money to black colleges than any other president. It’s the fact that we cut taxes for a single parent by 70%. It’s good news. We have a record to run on, and it’s time that we did that.”
