Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took to Twitter Tuesday night to respond to Sen. Bob Menendez’s (D-NJ) criticism that the senator suffered from “Obamaphobia.”
Menendez challenged the senator’s claim that President Obama is the single “biggest obstacle” to immigration reform in an appearance on MSNBC.
“Well, I think he has Obamaphobia,” Menendez said of Cruz. “The reality is that it is the Gang of Eight that came together — four Democrats, four Republicans — and said that we need a path to citizenship.”
Cruz maintains that a path to citizenship does not constitute “real” immigration reform.
If supporting real immigration reform, not path to citizenship is “Obamaphobia,” guilty as charged. RT if you’re a fellow “Obamaphobic!”
