Cruz Insists Ukraine Interfered In 2016 Election

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) made the unfounded allegation that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election in a NBC News interview.

Said Cruz: “Of course Russia interfered in the election. But here’s the game the media is playing. Because Russia interfered, the media pretends nobody else did. Ukraine blatantly interfered in our election.”

Axios: “Cruz is one of several Republican senators who have refused to disavow the allegations that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election, despite receiving a briefing from intelligence officials that this is an alternative narrative being propagated by Russian security services.”
