Ted Cruz: ‘Social worker’ Obama wants to fight ISIS with ‘expanded Medicaid’

In an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz lamented the fact that the president and U.S. military leaders sound too much like “social workers” and not enough like soldiers.

According to The Hill blog, Cruz fretted that renewed combat operations against the terror group ISIS are really just a move to implement socialist policies abroad, calling it international Medicaid expansion.

“When I asked Gen. Dempsey, militarily, how would we go in and kill the terrorists before they’re able to take jihad to America, his answer was, ‘Well, we need to see political reconciliation,’” said Cruz to Sean Hannity. “‘We need to change the conditions on the ground so people are not susceptible to extremism.’”

“Look,” Cruz said, “it’s not our job to be social workers in Iraq and put them all on expanded Medicaid. It is our job to kill terrorists who have declared war on America and who have demonstrated the intention and capability to murder innocent Americans.”
