Ted cruz is a politician. He's doing what politicians do, saying what we want to hear until the left put on the pressure. The senate ethics committee is having a "closed door" meeting to discuss cruz and hawley's potential violations because of the electoral college objections. Put the heat on and cruz craps all over president trump. He's a rino

All he does is talk. Just like Graham. He always has a sound clip.

He rightly objected to certification. More balls than most of the senate. Also, note that Cruz didn't say that he personally doesn't believe there was fraud, just pointed out that it wasn't proven in court, something he was hoping to do with the election cert challenge.. He was wrong to call the President reckless though. What happened at the Capitol wasn't Trump's fault.

I used to like him. DJT has taught me to see the political BS. Cruz is nothing more than a soundbite to me now. He's Lindsey Graham 2.0.

Protestors didnโ€™t do anything wrong at the Capitol, nothing to be at fault for

THAT should be the focus. But it doesn't matter now because we have post after post attacking Cruz.

THAT was the goal. To distract all of us from what Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, and Josh Hawley, were actually trying to do.

Uhm, Cruz has been consistent in critiquing President Trump's rhetoric. This is nothing new, and I agree with him.

He's a politician that's his job.

But when you psor trash like this you're participating in sowing chaos.

The GOP primary in TX occurs in March 2022. We know what to do.

This is a crap headline and a crap, out of context article. I seriously question Gateway's motives in publishing this. Are there parts of what he says I disagree with? Sure. But getting our news from headlines is what the LEFT does and it needs to stop.

What Cruz actually said in the video:

Going into this election, coming out of this election, we have seen overheated rhetoric, like crazy, on both sides of the political aisle. The Democrats and the news media -- and sadly the news media is now just part of the Democratic party -- they are one. Their talking point is there is no voter fraud; it doesn't exist, and for you to say โ€œvoter fraudโ€ is just -- I mean it's amazing you read any newspaper article and, any time there's a reference to voter fraud, I think the editor's mandate they put in โ€œwhich is totally baseless and false.โ€ And look, voter fraud has been a persistent challenge in elections, and the media narrative that it doesn't exist and you can't say it exists, it is weird rewriting history.

Now, listen on the other hand, President Trump's rhetoric, I think, went way too far over the line. I think it was both reckless and irresponsible because he said repeatedly โ€“ you know, he said over and over again -- he won by a landslide, there was massive fraud, it was all stolen everywhere.

That evidence, the campaign did not prove that in any court, right, and to make a determination about an election, it has to be based on the evidence, and so simply saying the result you want, that's not responsible, and you've never heard me use language like that.

What I've said is voter fraud is real, and we need to examine the evidence and look at the actual facts, and in particular, what is the evidence of how much voter fraud occurred, and did it occur in sufficient quantities and in sufficient states to alter the outcome of the election. That would have been the mandate of the election commission to assess. And you know one of the things I pointed out on the senate floor, Reuters polling shows 39 percent of Americans believe the election was rigged. That's a terrifying statistic, and I tried to make the case to Democrats. I said, look, you should want this commission because that's not good for our nation, it's not good for our country, to go forward with nearly half of the country believing that our democracy is fraudulent. We need to re-establish faith and trust in the democracy, and I think having a process to consider the evidence and the facts would have helped in that regard."

All Ted Cruz does is talk circles. He truly is, imho, Lindsey Graham 2.0. Change my mind.

He still voted against confirmation of the electors.

"It's impossible to prove fraud when the court won't look at the evidence, ASSHOLE!" Perfectly and eloquently stated!!!

Hopefully people are smart enough to realize that the Gateway Pundit is lying and taking him out of context.

This shitbag is all about impressing AOC. Heโ€™s always trying to agree with her and buddy up to her. She just recently shut him down, so heโ€™s trying to throw her a sweet surprise by making these Trump comments.

Kaisgrammy 2 points ago +2 / -0

I think heโ€™s bummed cuz his Supreme Court justice dreams went up in smoke. After his presidential dreams went up in smoke. Itโ€™s the bitter pills, they taste awful and the ensuing tantrum is what weโ€™re witnessing now. Sooo over him. Hopefully when he leaves the โ€œcultโ€ heโ€™ll take Lindsey and mittens with him. Just my opinion.

And to think that President Trump held a massive rally for Ted Cruz in Texas for his Senate re-election a two years ago. All I can say is that these Republicans have lost their dโˆ†mn mind. I'm done with any Republican that went against President Trump. I will never donate money to the Republican National committee. I will donate money to a qualified candidate directly but not to the RNC.

Posted by another: Stop falling for GATEWAY PUNDIT BULLSHIT regarding Ted Cruz. It's a CLICKBAIT FAKE NEWS headline. Watch the actual video...he's talking about how there was fraud and the courts and legislatures didn't do their job. He only says capitol storming was bad. STOP EATING OUR OWN.

The thing is, he knows it. I think he is kowtowing to the Republican establishment to preserve his political career because he knows that if theyโ€™ve successfully prevent Trump from winning once, they can do it again and he can be next himself.

He just realized that if Trump couldnโ€™t save himself, then Trump didnโ€™t have the power to save anyone else supporting him.

However, instead of staying the course and holding the line, he showed us that he has no courage and WE THE PEOPLE should find a way to reward him for betrayal.

N900mixalot 1 point ago +2 / -1

Then why did he maintain his objection? He didn't withdraw it.

Perhelion 1 point ago +1 / -0

Itโ€™s not improbable for politicians to play both sides. Rand Paul does it all the time.
