Sen. Cruz to Cavuto: The Truth Shouldnt Be Partisan

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz R-Texas today spoke to Fox News Neil Cavuto to discuss the White Houses stonewalling on the truth about the Benghazi attacks and the questions that remain unanswered.

Watch here--

Highlights below: I think it is unfortunate to see the Democratic Party circling the wagons around President Obama and Hillary Clinton and treating the death by terrorist attack of four Americans as nothing but a political inconvenience. It has been 19 months almost 20. We have four dead Americans. We have the first dead U.S. Ambassador killed in service since 1979. In the 19 months that have followed we dont have a single dead terrorist or a single terrorist apprehended and what we have seen from the President and Senate Democrats has been stonewalling" Sen. Cruz said. Sen. Cruz outlined four basic questions to which Americans deserve answers: 1.      Why did the State Department repeatedly refuse to provide additional security as was requested by personnel on the ground? 2.      Why did we not have military assets in place to protect our men and women on the anniversary of September 11^th when there was increased terrorist activity in the region? 3.       During the attack why didnt we send in forces to protect those men? 4.      In the 19 months that have followed why has no one been apprehended and no one been brought to justice? Sen. Cruz continued You and I both remember the presidential debate on foreign policy when President Obama said no one is more upset about what happened in Benghazi than I am…. If he were speaking the truth if he cared about it you would think that wouldnt be the last time he mentioned it." Ive been calling for a Joint Select Committee for over a year now and in fact Ive introduced a resolution in the Senate that has 24 Senate cosponsors calling for a Joint Select Committee and I understand the Democrats like to pretend its tit-for-tat. The truth shouldnt be partisan. Finding out what happened finding out how we could have prevented it and acting to actually apprehend these guys should not be partisan."
