Cruz calls Ocasio-Cortez ‘parasite sucking on the taxpayer’ over billionaire remarks
Cruz said Ocasio-Cortez is a parasite and warned Republicans that radical extremists could take control of Congress.
- On Monday, Senator Ted Cruz called Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a "parasite sucking on the taxpayer" during a Fox News appearance with Sean Hannity, warning that electing "radical extremists" threatens the country.
- Cruz reacted to Ocasio-Cortez's argument last week that the American Revolution was against "modern-day robber barons," defending her claim that billionaires cannot "earn" wealth without others' suffering.
- Defending capitalism, Cruz claimed the revolution was funded by free enterprise capitalists like George Washington, worth about $600 million, and credited Henry Ford with creating the American middle class.
- Critics noted the irony of the "parasite" label, as Ocasio-Cortez earns an annual salary of $174,000, exactly the same as Cruz himself.
- The GOP has reacted by piling more than $300 million into their campaign war chest, while Trump threatened to deploy an "Election Integrity Army" to oversee ballot counting in every state.
