Ted Cruz on the Kelly File

in the hours before the pope landed Senate Democrats killed a ban I'm late term abortions something

the Catholic Church isn't exactly in favor of him competitors had all Sunday school joining me now Republican presidential candidate senator

Ted Cruz nndb better thank you very much for being with us tonight so let's let's start with that do

the holy father well of course there is you know it's great to be with you Megan and I you know the mainstream media they are not fair

and you know pope Francis has been an incredible voice for life he's been an incredible voice for marriage he's

been an incredible voice for religious liberty and all three of them we're seeing an assault that

is unprecedented in the history of our country you know the Democrats in the media don't want to talk about the fact that today Senate Democrats stood virtually

United in support of late term abortion that I want to talk about these horrifying Planned Parenthood videos that show them selling

they certainly don't address the continued assault on religious liberty you know in Egypt when we saw twenty two Coptic Christians beheaded by isis and

the Obama White House described it as they're being killed because of their Egyptian citizenship pope

Francis powerfully spoke out he said their blood confesses Jesus Christ I'm very glad to welcome pope Frank's Francis to American very glad he's with us and

and some are suggesting it while he's Republicans are gonna have to avoid photo ops with a pal because

they don't want the distinction rotting yet nobody talked you know the point you made about Christians and whether the United States and this administration has done enough to protect them

which is when I'm going I narrative in insomnia outlets or for example forget

food to make them all Givi okay in writing such that their employees can get contraception which pope

Francis may not love well Meghan year exactly right and and as you know I have pledged if I'm elected president on the first day in office I

will instruct every federal agency that the persecution of religious liberty ends that day and

that will mean among other things that the case against the little sisters of the poor will be dismissed I mean this is an administration the Obama administration that

is litigating against click charity the little sisters attempting to force the nuns to

pay millions of dollars of fines under obamacare in order to try to force them to pay for abortion inducing drugs it it makes no sense it's

radical extreme and I'm curious that the mainstream media will last Democrats how they feel about

is what you're up against though as a Republican running for the White House that you know the media chooses to focus on the divide between the Republican Party and this pope when

it comes to issues like immigration or climate change income inequality okay but those may be legitimate splits but

where is the focus on the fact that he's going to go address a joint session of Congress but just today refused to

sign off on the band twenty week abortion out of a five month old baby in the womb that
