In SC, Ted Cruz blasts Obama’s ISIS plan for mistakenly aiming at 2nd Amendment
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Sen. Ted Cruz, surging in Iowa, blasted President Obama for using the terrorism-linked gun rampage in California last week to renew his demands for gun control. And he defended his own threat to carpet bomb the Islamic State – a goal that U.S. military experts say would entail untold civilian casualties.
“In the wake of Paris, in the wake of San Bernadino,” Cruz said while stumping in South Carolina, “we don’t need a president who goes on national television and lectures the American people like a schoolmarm, who condescends to the American people and says the problem we have is Islamophobia.”
“No,” he said, “the problem we have is a president and commander in chief who refuses to recognize our enemy. Our enemy is radical Islamic terrorism.”
In a rare prime time address Sunday night from the Oval Office, Obama sought to reassure Americans that the government is remaining vigilant when it comes to domestic terrorism and is doing what it can to fight the Islamic State. He also argued that the San Bernadino attack that left 14 people dead at the hands of a Muslim couple – a U.S.-born husband and his Pakistan-born wife, both apparently radicalized – showed the need to ban assault weapons and to ban people on no-fly lists from obtaining guns.
