Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., needed just three words to describe Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and the far-left of the Democratic Party and it brought the house down at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2019 on Friday
The Democrats have gone bat-crap crazy, Cruz told the cheering crowd. If you look at the medical dictionary, its under B. Its a medical condition.

Theyre getting more and more extreme on every issue, Cruz said of Ocasio-Cortezs Democrats.
Just look at their recent push to legalize infanticide and so-called late-term abortions, Cruz told the crowd .Bill Clinton once said Safe, legal, and rare but thats no longer the position of the Democratic Party. Theyre for abortion up to the moment of birth or ever after birth!
Thats not the only position Cruzs Democratic colleagues have become far-left on .
The old Democratic position was secure the border, and to have amnesty, the Texas senator said. Now they want to open the border and have amnesty.

If you look at the fight over the border wall, its not about substance. At the end of the day its really simple, Cruz continued. Its emotional, visceral hate. They dont actually have an argument.
It breaks down to this: Trump equals wall. We, the Democrats, hate Trump. Therefore, no wall, he explained.
Later in the speech, Cruz broke down why Ocasio-Cortez and her political allies are pushing the Democrats far-left.
The very opening words of the movie The Godfather are I believe in America let me tell you, I believe in America, he said. One of the things that drives the media and the far-left crazy about President Trump is that hes willing to actually stand up and defend America.
There are many pathological problems that afflict the left, but one of them is a fundamental embarrassment about Americas greatness, Cruz continued. You saw that when Barack Obama started his presidency with a worldwide apology tour.
Liberals are ashamed of Americas prosperity, he said. Theyre ashamed of our strength.
