Senator Ted Cruz told a classroom of reporters Tuesday that President Barack Obama believes gas-powered vehicles are a bigger threat to national security than Islamic terrorism.
“Barack Obama seems to think the SUV parked in your driveway is a bigger threat to national security than radical Islamic terrorists who want to kill us. That’s just nutty,” Cruz told members of the press in a Tennessee classroom. “These are ideologues, they don’t focus on the facts, they won’t address the facts,” the Texas senator said about Obama and those who believe global warming is of a greater import than terrorism.
He added: “what they’re interested [in] instead is more and more government power.”
