Ted Cruz: “More than 1,200 people were murdered that night.”

“They murdered civilians, they murdered the elderly, they murdered children, they raped women, and they raped little girls. They murdered them not because they were enemy soldiers, they murdered them for one reason, because they were Jewish. More than 1,200 people were murdered that night. It is the single largest mass murder of Jews in one day since the Holocaust. And what we saw on October 7, those were Nazi tactics carried out for Nazi ends.” (02:54–02:59)
