“Shortly after this week's terror attacks in Brussels, American politicians and elected officials of all stripes issued statements and made comments. Many said they stand in solidarity with Belgium, that the country was in their thoughts and prayers. President Obama said America would do all it could to help bring the perpetrators to justice.
But at least one comment after the attacks drew swift criticism in some corners. In a statement issued Tuesday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz wrote, "We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized."
During a news conference in Argentina on Wednesday, President Obama went after Cruz, alluding to surveillance programs in Cuba, a country he just left. "As far as the notion of having surveillance of neighborhoods where Muslims are present, I just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance," Obama said, "which by the way, the father of Sen. Cruz escaped for America, the land of the free. The notion that we would start down that slippery slope makes absolutely no sense. It's contrary to who we are. And it's not going to help us defeat ISIL."
