On Monday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called for a meeting with U.S. Marine Corps leadership to ask them to stop criticizing Fox News personality Tucker Carlson after the right-wing pundit attacked women in the military.
“Under Biden, the military is launching political attacks to intimidate Tucker Carlson & other civilians who criticize their policy decisions,” Cruz tweeted. “Officials in uniform are being used for the campaign. I’ve demanded a meeting with the Commandant of the USMC to put a stop to it.”
It didn’t take long for Twitter users to take a jab at the Republican senator, some pointing out that he didn’t even defend his own wife when Donald Trump brutally attacked her during the 2016 presidential primaries.
