The Hill reports:
Sen. Ted Cruz(R-Texas) tore into journalist Brian Williams after the MSNBC anchor dubbed the lawmaker “Kremlin Cruz” during a segment last week. The dust-up came after Cruz criticized a video put out by the Pentagon telling the story of a recruit who marched for marriage equality before joining the armed forces.
The senator called it “woke” and “emasculating” to the U.S. military and shared his comment along with a Russian propaganda video depicting members of its military as strong and masculine.
Williams called the tweet a “remarkably stupid lapse of judgment” and displayed the nickname “Kremlin Cruz” on an on-air graphic below him as he spoke during the segment on his weeknight show on MSNBC.

As you can see below, Cruz belittles Williams’ masculinity by accusing him of “throwing a hissy fit.”
1/x Is there a more pitiful example of corrupt corporate media than Brian Williams?
He was fired as the anchor of NBC Nightly News for “misrepresenting events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003.” Now, he’s a left-wing hack at MSNBC. https://t.co/0lGt3noUbQ

2/x Now, he’s throwing a hissy fit that I criticized the ridiculously woke video that the Biden admin put out. Williams accidentally told the truth, when he describes it as “a video meant to diminish the U.S. military.”
TRUE. That’s the problem. (The Pentagon put it out.)

3/x Now, with his trademark ignorant snark, he’s dubbed me “Kremlin Cruz.”
Three problems:
(1) I hate communists, my family was imprisoned & tortured by communists, and Brian is a shameless apologist for Russian (and Chinese and Cuban) communists.

4/x (2) I was arguing that our military needs to be able to kick the ass of Russian soldiers. It’s Brian & his lefty comrades that are working relentlessly to diminish the effectiveness of the U.S. military—the finest fighting force on the face of the planet.
