Senator Ted Cruz criticized NPR over what he described as a politically motivated mischaracterization of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, following a Facebook post by the public broadcaster that referred to her as "far-right."
"Before NPR again asks why I cut their funding, they should scroll through their Facebook," Cruz wrote on X. "They're intentionally smearing a Nobel Peace Prize winner and American ally by labeling her as 'far right.'"
