WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has been recognized by Tablet Magazine as a leader who has made significant contributions to the fight for freedom and security. Cruz was among thirty-six recipients of 'The Sinai Award' for his efforts in promoting global freedom.
Tablet Magazine commented, "Ted Cruz’s critics deride him as an obnoxious know-it-all who believes he was chosen by God for a mission. They’re right. Unfortunately for them, though, so is he—about a lot of things." The publication noted that during his decade-long tenure as a senator from Texas, Cruz has often faced criticism from senior leaders within his party regarding his language and legislative proposals.
The magazine highlighted several of Cruz's achievements: "But here is a partial list of things he has gotten right when everyone else has been misguided: unwinding the U.S. from the Iran deal, including the decertification, withdrawal, reimposition of energy sanctions, and reimposition of nuclear sanctions; killing the Nord Stream 2 pipeline; passing the SCRIPT Act, which drove a wedge between Hollywood and China; standing with protesters in Hong Kong, and more."
The article also mentioned Cruz's recent actions: "His recent grilling of Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the Gaza war and Hamas funding was not pretty, but it is required watching."
Tablet Magazine concluded with a strong endorsement: "If Ted Cruz’s best work is fueled by your disdain, hate away. God knows the country needs it.”
