(Jerusalem Post) Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar in a Twitter battle between the Republican and the Democrat on Thursday, claiming that if she would like to discuss a genocide, she should discuss the Holocaust and her lack of support for the House resolution on antisemitism.
The Twitter battle between the opposing politicians began when Cruz retweeted a video posted by ABC News of protesters — who were participating in the Black Lives Matter-motivated marches throughout the country which follow the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer — tearing down a statue of Christopher Columbus outside of the Minnesota State Capitol.
“American Taliban,” Cruz wrote in response.
