CBS' "Face the Nation"
host Bob Schieffer
interviewed Sen. Ted Cruz on Sunday about his wish list for President Barack
Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday, but many of the Texas Republican's comments on the president's "abuse
of power" appear to have been edited out.
Video from Cruz's You Tube page showed the
senator's criticism of the administration's handling of the events surrounding Benghazi
and, more recently, conservative author Dinesh D'Souza, remarks that were not
seen on the video that aired on "Face the Nation," reports
newsbusters.org.
After introducing Cruz as the tea party
Republican who led the shutdown of the government last fall and then grilling
the senator on the State of the Union address, Schieffer asked, "Will you
run for president?"
Cruz responded, "Well, look, my focus
is on the challenges facing this country right now. My focus, for example, is
on the abuse of power from the president. Let's take something like the IRS
scandal ..."
At which point Schieffer interrupted with
"So, do I take that as a yes or a no? Or still thinking about it?"
"Well, what you can take that as, is
that my focus is standing and fighting right now in the Senate to bring back
jobs and economic growth. Economic growth is my No. 1 priority ..."
That is where the CBS broadcast ended,
with Schieffer's abruptly saying, "Thank you so much for joining us, and
we'll talk to you again."
That is not where the interview posted by
Cruz ended.
In that video, Cruz continued, "And
let me tell you something that is deeply concerning: the abuse of power from
this administration. We've seen multiple filmmakers prosecuted, and the
government's gone after them. Whether it's the poor fellow that did the film
that the president blamed Benghazi
and the terrorist attacks on, turns out that wasn't the reason for the attack
but the administration went and put that poor fellow in jail on unrelated
charges."
"Just this week it was broken that
Dinesh D'Souza, who did a very big movie criticizing the president, is now
being prosecuted by this administration," he added.
Schieffer cut in, saying,
"Senator," but Cruz kept speaking.
"Can you image the reaction if the
Bush administration had went, gone and prosecuted Michael Moore and Alec
Baldwin and Sean Penn?" he asked.
Schieffer again tried to stop him, but
Cruz went on to say, "It should trouble everyone the government uses
government power and the IRS in particular to target their enemies, and you are
talking in a few minutes to Chuck Schumer ..."
It was then that the interview on Cruz's
video ended, with Schieffer breaking in to say, "We are going to leave
this for another day, Senator. Thank you for joining us, and we'll talk to you
again."
NewsBuster's Jeffrey Mayer, who monitors
liberal media for the Media
Research Center,
offered his take on the Schiefer's interview that aired Sunday:
"Now, it is certainly plausible that CBS
edited out the ending of the Cruz interview for time; however, given that
Cruz's comments were extremely critical of the president and came just two days
before an embattled President Obama gives his State of the Union speech, the
timing of such editing is highly inappropriate and unusual."

Hillary Clinton: 'My Biggest
Regret Is What Happened in Benghazi'
Published on Jan 27, 2014
During her Monday morning closing address
at the National Automobile Dealers Association convention in New
Orleans, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton named the
September 2012 Benghazi
attacks as her "biggest regret."
According to CNN's Jake
Tapper, Clinton told the NADA crowd that
"My biggest regret is what happened in Benghazi. It was a terrible tragedy losing
four Americans."Clinton
took the brunt of public blame for the lack of security and resultant deaths of
four Americans during the terrorist siege. During Senate hearings on the
matter, Clinton
famously pushed back on Sen. Ron Johnson's (R-WI) accusations that the
administration misled the public on the lead-up to the attacks, telling him,
"What difference, at this point, does it make?"
