NATIONAL
HARBOR, Md. – Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warned Americans the “next 20
months will be very dangerous” because of the anger of President Obama.
The
senator described Obama’s reaction to his drubbing in the 2014 midterm
election, in which the GOP made landslide gains in Congress, as
“unprecedented.”
Unlike
other presidents, such as Bill Clinton, who had reacted to such midterm
repudiations with humility and compromise, Cruz said Obama had reacted
with “anger and defiance.”
The
Texan predicted Obama would now issue “executive order after executive
order” and that “we will see a degree of lawlessness that exceeds even
the last six years.”
Speaking
to a small group of conservative reporters across the street from the
annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, on Thursday,
Cruz also predicted the world will become a much more dangerous place
before Obama leaves office.
He
said ISIS, the Iranians and Russian President Vladimir Putin, among
others, have given every reason they intend to do as much damage as
possible because they see Obama as offering no credible deterrent.
Cruz
implied the problem was compounded by a GOP congressional leadership
unwilling to confront Obama on the most important issues and his
penchant to rule by executive action.
The senator called it a “tough week” in which “GOP leadership joined with (Senate Minority Leader) Harry Reid to pass amnesty.”
