Senator Ted Cruz called out Tucker Carlson after a guest on Carlson’s show claimed he had seen a Palestinian boy run into a wall of bullets fired by the IDF.

Cruz made it clear the story was false.

Here’s what Cruz wrote:

.@TuckerCarlson had this guy, Tony Aguilar, on his show.

Aguilar claimed—with Tucker nodding solemnly—that Israel murdered a little Palestinian boy.

It turns out…the boy is alive & well.

It was used to undermine Trump’s Gaza policy.

Will Tucker apologize? https://t.co/BAzPEezpXZ

Remember ex-GHF contractor Tony Aguilar's claim that he saw a little Gazan boy named "Amir" run into "a wall of bullets" and suffer "a shot to the torso, a shot to the leg, dead?"

Well it's not true. “Amir” is alive and well.
