MSNBC personality Donny Deutsch said during an appearance Monday on “Morning Joe” that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) may have gained a reputation as a “smart guy” but has shown in office that he’s actually “dumb.”
Deutsch tore into the GOP lawmaker just hours before Cruz announced a run for President.
“Everybody keeps saying he’s a smart guy, but this is a guy who basically is saying that climate change is not a fact,” Deutsch said. “That’s not smart! That’s dumb. That’s ignorance.”
Earlier in the segment, Deutsch described Cruz as “completely unelectable.”
“Basically, he’s accomplished nothing,” Deutsch said. “He’s involved, I think, in two bills. He had a vote in the Senate last Saturday that had 22 votes. He’s an obstructionist. He brings no new ideas to the table other than ‘No,’ and I think this country is tried of that.”
