ICYMI: Sen. Cruz on Fox and Friends

WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, spoke this morning on Fox and Friends regarding the need for President Obama’s leadership to release Meriam Ibrahim and her family.

"Yesterday as she and her family were at the airport preparing to come back to America, armed thugs came in arrested her again and she is right now in captivity," said Sen. Cruz. "We don't know if they're intending to carry out this torture. The most pressing thing we need is we need American leadership, in particular where is the President? Nobody has a bully pulpit like the President of the United States. President Obama should stand up and say to the government of Sudan, ‘free Meriam now’. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. This should bring all of us together. We should stand up for this young mom, for her babies that are in a Sudanese prison just for being a Christian.”
