(The Blaze) – Sen. Ted
Cruz (R-Texas) told Glenn Beck in an interview that aired Wednesday night he
believes the last 15 months of President Barack Obama’s term will be akin to a
scene from “Lord of the Flies.”
“The only limit on bad
actors is the limit of their own strength,” the Republican 2016 hopeful
claimed.
However, the GOP
candidate said things could change quickly. Invoking President Ronald Reagan,
Cruz told Beck, “It’s worth remembering in 1981, Iran released our hostages the
day Reagan was sworn in — that’s the difference a strong commander-in-chief can
make.”
It is important to
note 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney made a similar claim
about Reagan on the campaign trail, which was hotly contested at the time.
According to a PolitiFact report, it was then-President Jimmy Carter’s
months-long negotiation that led to the hostages’ release, not Reagan’s foreign
policy rhetoric.
Cruz told Beck the quickest
change to make as president would be in foreign policy.
