Ted Cruz challenged Hillary Clinton to a debate over Obamacare, but the former Supreme Court litigator won’t be involved — instead, she should take the stage with the nuns from the Little Sister of the Poor, he says.
“We ought to invite Hillary Clinton to spend a day debating the Little Sisters of the Poor,” the Texas Republican said from the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. “She can embrace, ‘Yes, the federal government should be suing and fining Catholic nuns to force them to pay for abortion-inducing drugs.’”
The group of nuns is currently locked in a legal battle over its objection to complying with the law’s requirement that it provide coverage of contraception and potentially abortion-inducing drugs.
These sorts of requirements, Cruz said, prove that “the modern Democratic party has become an extreme, radical party.”
“A pretty good rule of thumb, by the way: If you’re suing nuns, you’ve done something really wrong,” he quipped.
