Republican Sen. Ted Cruz called out fact-checking site Politifact for liberal bias on Twitter Wednesday.
He referred to the website as a “liberal parody site.”
Politifact tweeted:
Ted Cruz this week said Beto O’Rourke once resolved to legalize all narcotics.
FALSE: https://t.co/4oJJs7N3NH pic.twitter.com/41F7q2Sxkn

Cruz responded by pointing out that when Democrat O’Rourke’s primary challenger made the same statement, they rated it as “half true.”
.@PolitiFact is a liberal parody site. When his Dem primary opponent said Beto “wants to legalize drugs” they said “half true.” When I said same thing, they say “false.” The text of the O’Rouke resolution calls for a “debate on ENDING THE PROHIBITION ON NARCOTICS.” ALL narcotics. https://t.co/4ceMUwGFJl
