GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz said Tuesday that Donald Trump was engaging in a “pre-emptive surrender” to Islamic terror by calling for a “withdrawal” from NATO on the eve of the Brussels terror attacks.
On Monday, Trump told CNN that the U.S. should greatly reduce its support of NATO.
“It’s too much and frankly it’s a different world than it was when we originally conceived of the idea,” Trump said of the US-European security alliance.
Cruz said he found it “striking” that the terror attacks occurred on the day after his rival candidate Donald Trump called for reducing the U.S. role NATO.
“We see Brussels where NATO is headquartered as the subject of a radical Islamic terrorist attack,” Cruz said in a press conference from Washington D.C.
“Donald Trump is wrong that America should withdraw from the world and abandon our allies. Donald Trump is wrong that America should retreat from Europe, retreat from NATO, hand Vladimir Putin a major victory, and while’s he’s at it, hand ISIS a major victory.”
Instead, said the Texas senator, NATO would be crucial in any United States effort in “utterly destroying ISIS.”
“And I would note that NATO is ready to act in a way our president is not,” said Cruz.
“Donald Trump’s proposal to withdraw from the world, to withdraw from NATO and Europe is sadly consistent with his statement that he intends to be neutral between Israel and the Palestinians.”
Cruz also said Trump’s approach was similar to Obama’s.
“We have seen for 7 years a president that cannot distinguish between our friends and enemies. A president that cannot distinguish between the nation of Israel and Islamic terrorists who seek to murder us, and it would be a mistake to elect another president who buys into the same left-wing moral relativism that equates the terrorist blowing himself you have and murdering innocent civilians to the brave soldiers and law enforcement officers risking everything to keep us safe.”
Cruz was not alone for criticizing Trump on his stand on NATO.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, appearing on Fox News Tuesday morning, said Trump’s plan for downsizing the U.S. role in NATO was dangerous as we confront the grave threat of Islamic terrorism.
Media Already Running “Muslims Fear Blowback” Stories after Brussels
March 22, 2016Media Already Running “Muslims Fear Blowback” Stories after Brussels, Front Page Magazine, Daniel Greenfield, March 22, 2016
After every Muslim terrorist attack, the media rapidly pivots to claiming that Muslims are the real victims by running “Muslims fear blowback” stories. Above all else, we must always remember that the real victims are the murderers.
Did a Muslim terrorist just murder a dozen people, behead a soldier or shoot up a synagogue? The media follows its initial sensational footage of the attack by covering the tragic plight of some Islamist activist who claims to have gotten dirty looks on the bus. Because a Muslim settler’s hurt feelings just count for more than the native population which was just murdered.
After each Muslim terror attack, the shift to the “blowback” narrative comes faster and faster. But after the Brussels attack, we appear to have a new “blowback” speed record.
The International Business Times ran a piece by Michael Kaplan, not long after the attack, headlined, “Muslims Fear Backlash After Brussels Attack: Far-Right, Anti-Immigrant Sentiment Often Follows Violence”
It didn’t actually happen yet. But let’s report it anyway. It’s much more important to speculate about another imaginary blowback than to show sympathy for the politically inconvenient victims of Muslim terror.
Kaplan based his piece on Vocativ which ran its blowback piece at 7:45 AM. That’s really impressive. We may have a new “blowback” speed record.
For the future, reporters should simply skip to reporting the Muslim fears of blowback and avoid discussing the attack itself… because that might just generate more blowback. After every terror attack, reporters should immediately rush to a Muslim neighborhood to preemptively interview potential victims of the possible blowback about their fears of a blowback.
Because real journalism isn’t reporting what actually happened. It’s about aggressively shoving your narrative down everyone’s throats until they learn to accept it. And it’s about the assertion that Muslim fears are more important than European deaths.
