Mexican Government Fires Back At Sen. Ted Cruz After Criticism
Mexican government officials have fired back at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), after he accused the country of “undermining the rule of law.”
“If he praised me, I might start thinking we weren’t doing things right,” Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Friday. “But if he says we are wrong, well that for me is something to be proud of.”
He said Cruz’s criticism was “expected” given their political differences, the Dallas Morning News reported.
The exchange followed the senator’s criticism of the country over recent killings of journalists and politicians there, with Cruz describing “deepening civil unrest in Mexico and the breakdown there of civil society, the breakdown of the rule of law.”
Mexico’s ambassador to the U.S., Esteban Moctezuma Barragán, also responded to Cruz, publishing an open letter to him on Thursday.
In his letter, Barragán said that at least Mexico’s political candidates accept defeat when they lose elections.

Don't go slinging mud at countries with screaming skulls on their Olympic uniforms.
You will lose.
