In a matter of seconds, Senator Ted Cruz went from calling for a search of Hunter Biden’s home and implying that President Biden committed a crime, to absolving Mike Pence of being in the same situation.
Cruz’s video:
TED CRUZ: The FBI needs to search the homes and business addresses of the University of Delaware and Hunter Biden
Larry Kudlow: Pence is our friend, he found classified documents at home, what about him?
Cruz: Oh look, Mike Pence already explained where this came from pic.twitter.com/VZwobf8RZl

“Then it turns from a political issue to a very serious issue of criminal liability and major crimes, so the FBI needs to search the files at the University of Delaware, they need to search Hunter Bailey,” Cruz said on Fox Business. Deng’s residence and business address.”
Seconds later, Larry Kudlow asked Cruz about Mike Pence, and he replied, “Look, the Mike Pence story, as you said, it’s early days.” He’s a good friend. He is a good man. He explained where those came from…that was a mistake, but there’s no reason to think it was unintentional. “
Senator Cruz thinks he is pulling fast, but the difference between Pence and Biden is that Biden is the current president who nominated the current attorney general. Biden obeys the law, like Mike Pence, but turns over documents immediately. Cruz was clear that President Biden was following the Justice Department’s wishes by not discussing it.

joe biden and Mike Pence does the same, But Ted Cruz thinks one is a crime and the other isn’t because one is a Democrat and the other is a Republican.
No need to search for Hunter Biden’s home or business. He is not in government service and has no access to classified information.
Do you know who had access to classified information?
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
The FBI should probably search their homes and businesses immediately.
Ted Cruz’s immediate pivot is the look of partisan hypocrisy, a perfect example of how the Mike Pence story undercuts the hysteria surrounding the Republican Biden dossier.
