Ted Cruz unloaded on his Democratic colleagues on Friday in response to Sen. Dianne Feinstein sending a letter to President Trump declaring that she is \u201cdisappointed\u201d in his administration\u2019s plan to block funding to the world\u2019s leading state sponsor of terrorism, Iran. The Democrats\u2019 demand of Trump to help Iran get $5 billion in aid, Cruz noted, comes \u201cat the exact same time\u201d that they are \u201cblocking desperately need relief to small businesses in America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe coronavirus has hit Iran hard, with the potential for even greater spread in the region,\u201d the high-ranking Democratic senator tweeted Thursday along with a copy of her letter. \u201cIn the interest of international security, President Trump should support Iran\u2019s request to the IMF for emergency funds to contain this virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am disappointed to see reports that your administration intends to block Iran from receiving $5 billion in humanitarian aid from the IMF to combat the coronavirus pandemic,\u201d the letter begins. \u201cProviding these funds to Iran would help it respond more effectively to the disease and mitigate the risk of further destabilization in the region.\u201d She goes on to urge Trump to reconsider so that the infamously tyrannical regime can receive the billions in aid from the IMF.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein\u2019s letter was issued the same day that Senate Democrats blocked an urgent request from Sec. Mnuchin to increase the amount of cash in the emergency small business loan program recently established by Congress from $350 billion to $600 billion.<\/p>\n<p>As the\u00a0New York Post\u2019s editorial board\u00a0explains, instead of agreeing to the desperately needed increase in cash on Thursday, the Democrats \u201cissued partisan demands\u201d: \u201cThey insisted the new money include $60 billion for \u2018community-based lenders\u2019 that serve minorities, women, nonprofits and other groups. And the bill also had to OK an immediate $250 billion for cities, states, hospitals, food stamps and other needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) explained in response that\u00a0\u201ceverything is an opportunity.\u201d This was an \u201copportunity\u201d to address \u201cdisparities\u201d she suggested are plaguing the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if they don\u2019t get their way, no one gets a dime more,\u201d the Post\u2019s editorial board noted. \u201cNever mind that businesses face bankruptcy or that 17 million people filed for jobless benefits in recent weeks.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, if you&#8217;re a Real American and not a despicable Commie toe-rag, you&#8217;d read that last sentence just as it is. But Pelosi and her fellow Democrat-Socialists see something more like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Never mind that evil capitalist running-dog exploiters face social justice or that 17 million people are now permanent wards of the State and reliably dependent Democrat-Socialist voters.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See? Easy peasy. As Cruz says, it&#8217;s all a matter of perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ted Cruz lays &#8217;em out, in another of his trademark bursts of unleavened awesomeness.
