Sen. Ted Cruz has responded to former President Barack Obama’s speechwriter, Jon Favreau, after he criticized the senator for calling out The New York Times following leaked comments from a top editor that revealed the publication had shifted its focus from the Russian collusion to the president’s character.
Cruz took to Twitter in a series of posts to criticize The Times after a transcript of a leaked speech by the newspaper’s executive editor, Dean Baquet, was published by Slate. The transcript showed that Baquet and other members of the paper’s leadership attempted to quell staff concerns following a tumultuous start of the month.
