TYT: Ted Cruz Battered On Fox News Over Immigration Flip-Flop

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Time to give Fox News a little bit of credit. Ted Cruz was interviewed by Bret Baier and didn’t quite get the softballs he was expecting. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday squared off with Fox News anchor Bret Baier over comments Cruz made in 2013 as the Senate considered an immigration reform bill.

Baier began the interview by repeating what Cruz said on the subject during Tuesday’s GOP presidential debate: “I’ve never supported legalization, I do not intend to support it.”

Asked to respond to the clip, Cruz said his amendment would “remove citizenship.”

“The fact that I introduced an amendment to remove part of the Gang of Eight bill doesn’t mean I support the rest of the Gang of Eight bill,” he added.

But Baier replied with a series of statements Cruz made in 2013 that indicated he wanted the rest of the bill to pass. He quoted the Texas Republican calling the legislation “the compromise that can pass” and saying “if my amendment were adopted, this bill would pass.”

Cruz stammered in his response, saying that “of course I wanted my amendment to pass. ... It doesn’t mean I supported other aspects of the bill.””*
