<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) on Sunday accused President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> of &#8220;behaving like a terrorist&#8221; in the fight over the debt ceiling as the prospect of default this summer looms large over Washington.</p>
<p>During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbZzpQiakiQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on Fox News, Cruz encouraged Biden to rethink his opposition to the legislation narrowly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-led-house-passes-mccarthys-plan-to-raise-debt-limit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> last week by the GOP-led House that would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/four-gop-holdouts-explain-why-they-voted-against-mccarthy-championed-debt-ceiling-bill">suspend the debt ceiling</a> through March 31, 2024, or until an increase in debt of $1.5 trillion — whichever comes first — in exchange for a host of spending cuts.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve got some advice for Joe Biden on the debt ceiling, someone he should listen to. President Biden should listen to Joe Biden. Joe Biden in 2011 was the vice president,&#8221; Cruz said on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ted Cruz on Fox News accuses Joe Biden of behaving like a &quot;terrorist&quot; because he won&#39;t negotiate with Kevin McCarthy over the debt ceiling <a href="https://t.co/K0xzCrJGDe">pic.twitter.com/K0xzCrJGDe</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href="https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1652677514014212097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 30, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Republicans had taken the House. Republicans held a hard line on the debt ceiling,&#8221; Cruz recalled. &#8220;And Joe Biden, then-vice president, went and personally negotiated the deal that became the Budget Control Act, a bill that was designed to cut over $2 trillion in our debt. It was the most significant fiscal restraint ever passed in modern times.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cruz said then-President Barack Obama did not engage in &#8220;this kind of irresponsible fear-mongering&#8221; that the senator argued is on display now and noted that Obama then sent Biden to Congress to negotiate a deal.</p>
<p>&#8220;That Joe Biden from 2011 needs to come back, not the guy they got right now locked in the basement and a White House that&#8217;s being run by 25-year-old radicals who figure, &#8216;Heck, just let it all default. What do we care?'&#8221; Cruz said.</p>
<p>&#8220;These are little Marxists with no experience in the real world. We need to bring back the Joe Biden who&#8217;s done this before. Not the one who is behaving like a terrorist, which is what Biden is doing right now,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Biden and his fellow Democrats, who control the Senate, insist on a “clean” debt ceiling bill separate from spending cuts or policy concessions. The president has ratcheted up the rhetoric during the standoff, accusing Republicans of espousing <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-kevin-mccarthy-debt-limit-schumer-98fb9543dd3434d9f8a5ace09cbb1eed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;wacko notions.&#8221;</a></p>

<p>Cruz acknowledged the upper chamber, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), likely would not consider the House bill, but he urged Senate Republicans to put aside any differences and rally behind the House GOP proposal.</p>
<p>&#8220;Listen, at some level, unfortunately, Senate Republicans are never united. There are 49 Senate Republicans and 52 points of view. That&#8217;s just the nature of the Senate,&#8221; Cruz said.</p>
<p>&#8220;That being said, I think what we ought to be doing in the Senate is, we ought to be standing up and backing up the House Republicans,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The House Republicans are showing leadership right now. And Senate Republicans should stand shoulder to shoulder with the House and say: &#8216;Joe Biden, come to the table.'&#8221;</p>
