DNC chair slaps Cancun Cruz over Biden criticism: 'You aren't qualified enough to tie his shoes'

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Jaime Harrison condemned GOP Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) for comparing President Biden's policies to the "incompetence" of former President Carter's administration.

Cruz reiterated his analogy of Biden as "Jimmy Carter 2.0" in a Thursday interview on "Fux Noise Slimetime."

"We're five months into the Biden administration. We already have a gas crisis, gas lines, an inflation crisis, war in the Middle East," the senator said. "And the same sort of ideology and incompetence that characterized the Carter regime, characterizes now the Biden-Harris regime, and it took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan."

Harrison, a frequent critic of the Texas senator, blasted Cruz on Twitter in response to his comments going after Biden on Fox, writing, "you aren't qualified enough to tie his shoes let alone speak his name disparagingly."

"Unlike you, Pres. Carter has never betrayed his oath & never abandoned his people in the midst of a disaster," the DNC chairman added. "He has dedicated his entire life to helping people- the least of these."

Reagan benefited from Carter's appointment of Paul Volcker to be Fed chairman, who broke the back of stagflation after several years. Carter should get credit for that-- he appointed Volcker even knowing it would hurt his reelection, because of short-term economic pain from the medicine Volcker prescribed.

Just like the 80's under Reagan, right now under Biden we have record economic growth. Cruz is trying to gaslight the audience.
