Cruz: China Puts Money Into Elite Universities Because They Want To Train America’s Future Leaders
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his podcast “Verdict” said China puts money in elite universities across the country because “they want to train America’s leaders, they want to train members of Congress, they want to train members of the executive branch.”
SEN. TED CRUZ: You look at Harvard trains many of our nation’s elite, for example, I just typed in a quick list on AI, how many senators went to Harvard? And AI promptly gave me an answer. There are currently 12 senators who are Harvard alumni. And I will admit, sadly that it came back and says the list includes individuals like Ted Cruz, Tim Kaine, Jack Reed, Chuck Schumer, and Mitt Romney. So, I’m a little embarrassed to be the first name on that list, but that is part of the reason that China puts that money into Harvard, into Columbia, into elite universities across this country, because they want to train America’s leaders. They want to train members of Congress. They want to train members of the executive branch. They want to train federal judges. They want to train the foreign policies apparatus, and they are trying to train them, and they’re trying to propagandize. They use this for brainwashing. They use this for espionage. And far too, many of our universities have been so eager to take the money that they have welcomed Chinese Communists with open arms.
