Ted Cruz eviscerated the CNBC moderators early in Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
The Texas senator was asked about his opposition to a proposed deal that would raise the debt limit and authorize higher spending. It also would prevent a shutdown of government operations.
Instead of answering the question, he used his time to attack the moderators for the questions they had asked other candidates up to that point.
“Let me say something at the outset,” Cruz began. “The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media.”
The audience applauded and Cruz continued:
“This is not a cage match. And you look at the questions – ‘Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain?’ ‘Ben Carson, can you do math?’ ‘John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?’ ‘Marco Rubio, why don’t you resign?’ ‘Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?’ How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?”
The room erupted in cheers.
The comments came in the events hosted by CNBC at the Coors Events Center in Boulder, Colorado.
The candidates in the early debate, Sen. Rick Santorum, Gov. Bobby Jindal, Gov. George Pataki and Sen. Lindsey Graham, are polling at the bottom of the GOP field at this point.
The following 10 candidates took the stage later: Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
