The New York Times story about Ted Cruz receiving an undisclosed loan from Goldman Sachs during his first Senate campaign “is not the real story,” Charles Krauthammer said tonight on Fox News’s Special Report.
“Ostensibly the story is nondisclosure to the SEC, who cares about that; and in fact, it was disclosed on other forms,” Krauthammer said. “The subtext here is that Cruz, the anti-establishment hero, the guy who doesn’t kneel to anybody in Washington, Wall St. or anywhere, your everyman, is a guy who took a huge loan from the biggest of the big fat cats – and that’s the story.”
“I thought it was a way for others to remind people that’s he’s a malleable guy and if it suits him to play anti-establishment, he does,” Krauthammer said. “But when he needed the money, he went to the big dog in New York.”
