Abby Phillip Mocks Tucker-Ted Cruz’s Debate on Iran: ‘This Is Actually Not Parody’

[Clip starts]
Cruz: “You say, ‘I can’t see how that benefits America in any way.’ That is bizarre. And by the way, isolationism — “
Carlson: “It’s not bizarre.” Calling me reckless?
Cruz: “Your foreign policy is the foreign policy of Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. And it doesn‘t work.”
Carlson: “Oh, absolutely. I‘m a big leftist.”

PHILLIP: “Well, this is actually not parody, believe it or not, despite the two of them sort of acting like caricatures of themselves. But, Jennifer, I mean, you were talking about this a little bit earlier. I mean, Ted Cruz is, you know, trying to make the case to the MAGA right that Trump should be involved in another conflict in the Middle East. And it is interesting to see this play out, except it‘s on the right, not left and right.”
WELCH: “It‘s delicious and interesting. But you have a Russian propagandist with a man, Ted Cruz, that is a rapture prepper. And what‘s lost in all of this is the American public. How does this serve the United States of America? Everybody in Israel has health care. Nobody goes bankrupt because they have cancer. But in the United States we don‘t. Yet we send them aid. And so what‘s lost in this entire message is all of this just gets — propaganda just gets pushed into the news cycle. It’s how does this benefit a country that is breaking every single day?”
