Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has struck back at President Obama's implication that his rejection of Syrian refugees is "shameful," telling CNN he will be introducing legislation banning Muslim Syrian refugees from entering the United States.
"What Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are proposing is that we bring to this country tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees," Cruz told CNN's Dana Bash in Charleston, S.C., on Monday.
"I have to say particularly in light of what happened in Paris, that's nothing short of lunacy."
