We really, really love this guy.

In case you haven't heard, The New Yorker reported a couple of days ago that Sen. Ted Cruz claimed that there were no less than a dozen communists at Harvard Law School.

Cruz, for his part, has decided to respond.

Not only does he not deny the allegation that he claimed there were commies at HLS, but he has doubled-down on his accusation.

Did we mention that we love this guy?

You can expect the first hour of Morning Joe to be all about criticizing Sen. Cruz tomorrow.

But it would be as misguided as most of Morning Joe's criticisms of prominent Republicans. Even The New Yorker concedes the following:

Influenced by Karl Marx? Yeah, it's probably okay to call that dude a communist.
