DALLAS — Sen. Ted Cruz told a conservative gathering in Dallas on Friday that President Joe Biden should have reacted more forcefully to China’s threats to shoot down House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plane during her trip to Taiwan — saying it would be an “act of war” if the threats were followed through.
“The only answer to an enemy of America threatening to murder the speaker of the House of the United States is that would be an act of war, and the result would be devastating,” he said Friday, the second day of the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Saturday is the biggest day for this week’s CPAC gathering, with headliner Donald Trump scheduled to speak in the evening.
