Ted Cruz Instantly Fact-Checked After Lying About Biden's Response To Attack On Israel

Senator Ted Cruz blatantly lied, claiming Joe Biden took 'days' to say the U.S. 'stands with Israel' after the attack by Hamas, and got fact-checked by X notes.

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was called out for lying about President Joe Biden's Israel response, claiming it took Biden "days" to say the United States "stands with Israel" after it was attacked by Hamas. His post was swiftly debunked thanks to the Community Notes feature on X, formerly Twitter.

Hamas initiated a shocking attack on Israel over the weekend, prompting Israel to declare war and retaliate. Israeli authorities have reported dozens of captives held hostage in Gaza, although precise numbers remain unconfirmed. Hamas claimed on Sunday that it was holding more than 100 hostages.


Cruz then used the lie to promote Verdict, his podcast where he appears to be spending more time than his actual job in Congress.

He wrote:

"I am glad that he finally said it, but it's important for Americans to understand why it took him that long. On Verdict, [co-host Been Ferguson] and I discuss how the Democrats are beholden to Israel-hating leftist activists."

You can see Cruz's tweet below.

But a Community Note pointed out just how wrong he was:

"Here is video of Biden speaking where he states clearly: "Let there be no mistake, the United States stands with the state of Israel."
"CNN also reports Biden saying: “The United States stands with Israel. We will not ever fail to have their back.”"

You can hear Biden's actual remarks on the day of the attack in the video below.

But the Senator lied again about what is an obvious fact:

"The community note is FALSE. Biden said (in the article cited) "I made clear to PM Netanyahu that we stand ready to offer all appropriate means of support….” “ALL APPROPRIATE MEANS OF SUPPORT” is not "America stands with Israel. Period. Full stop."
"As I explained in the pod!"

You can see his post below.

Cruz was swiftly criticized.




Biden's response to Israel's most devastating terrorist attack has garnered unexpected praise from surprising quarters. Even those with historically opposing views have commended his unwavering support for Israel during this critical period.

Biden's response, which included a speech condemning the Hamas attacks that claimed over 1,200 Israeli lives and a swift offer of military aid, has garnered significant accolades. The presence of Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Israeli soil reinforced the administration's support.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
