Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is taking heat for a remark he made on Twitter about Democratic Presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg that has been called blatantly anti-Semitic by the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Referencing an article in which Bloomberg declared the 2020 Democratic primary process to be a “two-person race” and encouraged other moderate candidates to drop out so he can face frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Cruz posted this on Twitter:
It’s almost as if he owns the media. https://t.co/0tVTBg0DtT

That prompted this response from Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL:
As the author of a resolution condemning slanderous myths about Jews, money, and power, @tedcruz should know better. https://t.co/sH3kpFJ4D5

Others also took Senator Cruz to task for his tweet:
It’s almost as if you’re owned by a man who called your wife ugly and said your dad killed JFK

Only Ted Cruz could find a way to criticize Bloomberg and make it sound creepy

He doesn’t “own the media”. If Ilhan Omar said that, people would be – rightfully – screaming to the heavens. You don’t get a pass just because (checks notes) your dad killed JFK.
