Ted Cruz Torches ‘Barbie’ Movie For ‘Pushing Pro-Chinese Propaganda

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is speaking out to slam the new Barbie movie for attempting to “appease the Chinese Communist Party” after Vietnam went so far as to ban the film over scenes that include a map showing China‘s claims to territory in the South China Sea.

Cruz Sounds Off

Barbie, which stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and was directed by Greta Gerwig, is set to hit theaters on July 21. However, the film has been banned in Vietnam because of scenes featuring the controversial so-called nine-dash line.

A spokesperson for Cruz claimed to Daily Mail that the Barbie movie is “pushing Chinese propaganda.”

“Senator Cruz has been fighting for years to prevent American companies, especially Hollywood studios, from altering and censoring their content to appease the Chinese Communist Party,” the spokesperson said.
