Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that he believes corporate media is starting to turn on President Joe Biden because there is increasing belief that he could lose this November in a rematch against former President Donald Trump.
Cruz made the remarks during the latest broadcast of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about Biden’s declining poll numbers and the closing window to replace him as the Democrat nominee.
“I do think we are seeing the corporate media starting to turn on Joe Biden, and we’ve talked at length, listen, it was this podcast that drove news and drove news across the country, when we said months ago that I believe there was a very significant chance the Democrat Party would pull the cord on Joe Biden, yank him out and replace him with Michelle Obama,” Cruz said.
“The Democrats and the media would be perfectly happy if they could wave a wand and put Joe Biden there four years or more. They’re not worried that he’s incompetent to be president,” Cruz later added. “They’re not worried that the Department of Justice says he’s not competent to stand trial. They’re not worried that he’s such a weak commander-in-chief that our enemies are attacking our allies and threatening America. They’re not worried that he lacks the competence to do the job. There’s only one thing they’re worried about: that he would lose. If they believed he would win, they’d be perfectly fine to Weekend at Bernie’s him, to stand him up as a corpse and say Joe Biden’s there and let’s keep pulling the puppet strings. Their concern is they’re worried he’s going to lose.”
A few moments later, Cruz said that if Democrats are unable to replace Biden and he becomes the nominee, the media will shift again to calling people “ageist and racist” for questioning Biden’s ability to continue serving as president.
