Sen. Cruz joins ‘The Ingraham Angle’ to discuss the Democratic Party’s support and radical thinking over abortion.<\/p>\n
Republican Senator Ted <\/u>Cruz<\/u> of Texas<\/u> said the “Women\u2019s Tennis Association has bigger balls than the NBA” when it comes to China. <\/p>\n
Cruz made the comment during a Thursday interview with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on their radio show while talking about the Chinese Communist Party’s treatment of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai, whose well-being has been cause of concern after she accused a former top CCP official of sexual assault.<\/p>\n
The senator said that Shuai “has demonstrated enormous courage” by coming forward with sexual assault allegations against a former high-ranking CCP official.<\/p>\n
“Within about 30 minutes, they took down that post and they essentially disappeared her,” Cruz said<\/u>. “She was the No. 1-ranked women\u2019s doubles player in the world, the only Chinese national to be ranked No. 1 in the world, and they just disappeared her.”<\/p>\n
The Texas senator lauded the WTA for their “extraordinary courage” while speaking out on the Shuai\u2019s disappearance and for putting “their money where their mouth is” by “giving up millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars” to cancel events in China.<\/p>\n

Cruz then took shots at the NBA over its actions around Houston Rockets owner Daryl Morey\u2019s tweet in support of Hong Kong protesters, and at LeBron James for “defending the communist dictators who engage in murder and torture and run concentration camps.”<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll tell you something,” Cruz continued, “right now, the Women\u2019s Tennis Association has bigger balls than the NBA.”<\/p>\n “And I would like to see courage be contagious and more people stand up,” the senator said.<\/p>\n
