Why I Told President Trump to Attack Iran - Sen. Ted Cruz

Published | Video Starts at 13:04

You know what, if you give someone $100 billion, you don't dislike them that much. Like, at the end of the day, actions speak louder than words. And by the way, Barack Obama has written in his memoir how when the Green Revolution was happening during Obama's presidency, that he made a very deliberate decision. Don't stand with the protesters, don't encourage the protesters. Instead, support the regime. And so that the Democrat Party, as an ideological matter, doesn't want to see the regime fall. And they're perfectly happy. They've been happy to flow billions of dollars to them. (13:04–13:20)
