Ted Cruz knocks MSNBC’s Brian Williams over ‘Kremlin Cruz’ label

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tore into journalist Brian Williams after the MSNBC anchor dubbed the lawmaker “Kremlin Cruz” during a segment last week.

The dustup came after Cruz criticized a video put out by the Pentagon telling the story of a recruit who marched for marriage equality before joining the armed forces. The senator called it “woke” and “emasculating” to the U.S. military, and shared his comment along with a Russian propaganda video depicting members of its military as strong and masculine.

Williams called the tweet a “remarkably stupid lapse of judgment” and displayed the nick-name “Kremlin Cruz” on an on-air graphic below him as he spoke during the segment on his weeknight show on MSNBC.
