Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is blasting the reports that suggested he took 18 seconds to respond to a question on President Trump‘s pardon tweet.

The senator was asked by a reporter if he agreed with Trump’s assertion that he could pardon himself. And judging from the recording, it did take 18 seconds for him to say, “That’s not a constitutional area I’ve studied so I will withhold judgement.” However, you can clearly hear footsteps in the clip.

Well, Cruz gave a full response to the question on Twitter.

Cruz then went after the “dishonest journalists” for their reports, saying he was running late to a meeting and was “simply ignoring” the question as “senators do every single day.”

Fixed it for you.

2. I think reporters can find many more

things to criticize Cruz for. This 18 second thing is just stupid.

3. LOL! I'm late, I'm late for a very important date. No time to say hello

goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

4. He struggles to juggle reality with BS for 18 seconds cause he knows the answer is not good.

5. the 18 seconds don't matter

it's the fact that he's probably thinking it's a great idea for the presidunce to have such a power.

Would you buy a used car from him?

6. Ted, if you're explaining, you're losing

And for fuckssake, get some clue about the difference between the USA and a monarchy or dictatorship.

7. Makes no difference with Cruz,

He's just another serial liar who'll say anything , and instead reporters should be asking him why he isn't looking into the Texas problem they have now why hasn't he looked into how immigrant children in Texas facilities are being cared for and treated? Some are very , very young and being separated from their parents intentionally, then lost in their system intentionally. Beto should ask him also.
