What a sorry ass admission of his ”mistake”. Ted Cruz is a paper-thin veneer of a conservative.
The real reason he said they were terrorists was that he thought the tide was turning against conservatives. That’s what men without faith and courage do. They are double-minded and they are tossed around like a wave in the wind.
I’m so disappointed because Ted is right - he did stand up when it felt like a heroic moment to oppose the election results. When he felt cornered? Left us all to watch ACTUAL men rot in J6 prison.
Ill agree in part. Most are old normies who for the most part still believe everything coming from Fox News, but they are slowly waking up! Like you Im sick of milquetoast Republicans in SC, Im ready for an asskicker like SC used to have!
I remember SC townhalls were on fire after Sotomayer was confirmed - which he could have blocked. Maybe there's something else going on with the vote in SC.
Lmfao, c'mon man. I have both a superduty 250 and a Tremor F150. Your subaru is trash. It can't tow, it can't haul, it can barely get over 3" snow. Fuck outta here with that bullshit. You own a trash lesbian car.
Thats what you get when half the population of your state are hispanic immigrants who welcome their people with open arms. Those illegals are their cousins and aunts, sisters and nephews. They will decimate one state after the other until this country is unrecognizable and its culture has been erased and replaced.
I see where you would get that idea, but it’s actually BS. The ones flooding the country are from Central America and South America. They are lazy and low IQ. This is also an ethnic attack and replacement on Mexican descended Americans.
Generational gap, so much wealthy living rubs off the wrong way on our kids who haven't had to work for anything, and didn't "play outside"...everyone got a trophy...etc.
Cruz is very sad considering his talent, especially with his family Cuban exile heritage. He chose to forget his roots. His wife is high up the Goldman bank chain IIRC. You can probably count with one hand the number of Senators that are still free from big lobby $$ (Marsha Blackburn...?). Graham in SC, big mouth, no action waste of a human.
I live in west Texas. We just got a new rep in 2020 (the old one retired after 30 years).
We should have a Bobert, MTG, or Gaetz.
Instead we have a guy who holds hands with Kevin McCarthy. This rep moved back to the district from DC to run. He had plenty of money (wonder where that came from?) to whip up on everyone during the primary and (unfortunately) also had an endorsement from Trump (but a picture of himself with Pence on his website).
He made it clear during the primary that he wouldn't be joining the freedom caucus if he won the primary.
i can only imagine his handlers telling him, you've got 2024 in the bag, you just have to pivot to the center and let everyone know what a moderate you are! what an absolute fool!
i would love to see the full interview. how far does ted backtrack? does he admit that the J6 political prisoners are being unfairly prosecuted? if so what's he done about it prior to his little "mistake"? if he's done nothing, then his mistake seems intentional...
But I can't get over what crawled into his head yesterday and told him to say what he said in that committee. His words exactly were "a terrorist attack ON THE CAPITAL." Those words mean that everyone there was engaged in an ATTACK on the capital and that makes them terrorists. He did not say the people who assaulted cops are terrorists. What made this guy think this was such a good move in his political career? Boggling.
You may be correct. I thought the end of the interview made him seem a bit less squishy. I'm going to keep the door open for him, even though I am not happy about the "terrorist" word.
Somewhat agree. Ted has proven to be a snake. But I'll give him some credit, it took balls to address it on Tucker. But he weaseled his way out of the questions, like the slippery fuck he is. So that gives us a slippery snake with balls. So he is basically a UPenn swimmer.
I sent this to someone else I was talking to, thought I would put it here. Fully prepared for people to not see it this way, but that’s ok.
As I see Tucker Carlson call Cruz out, I had the epiphany that is likely completely scripted. And likely with the support/approval of Trump. This is a big end around rope-a-dope of the media to get them to cover the counter narrative that Trump himself could not have gotten. Why I think this:
Cruz isn’t retarded. He knows how words matter in DC. He also knows that zero people he needs backing him believe this bogus FBI glow op muh insurrection narrative. Such a monumental political blunder like this, if taken at face value, would be one of the biggest in recent history. In fact, a worse one at the national level doesn’t come to mind. There is also nothing political to gain with this right now. Primaries are too far out as far as news/political cycles go. So is any Jan 6 commission report. Which also appears to be going nowhere fast. To grandstand like this with such a deliberate back stab of your own base, while having to be completely knowledgeable of what your own voters think of Jan 6 and what they’ll think of you for saying that…one would have to completely throw out everything we ever thought about this guy to believe he is this out of touch and this much of a rino turncoat backstabber. Not buying it.
But what does this statement do? It gets “our” controlled opposition media backed into a corner and forced to cover this story from the perspective that this was a glow op and wasn’t even close to how the dems are portraying it. Because we are sitting here steaming about the audacity that Cruz of all people said it. Not Ben Sasse. Not Mitt Romney…Ted Cruz.
What else does it do? MSM absolutely gets off on throwing salt in our wounds. Probably champing at the bit to show everyone that “even Ted Cruz acknowledges the egregious horrors of Jan 6 caused by muh drumpf” and gets them covering it.
Many more links I could offer, but you get the point. In their joyful glee to dump salt in the wound, they are forced to explain why Cruz is on the hot seat - we all think this was a fake n gay glow op that the democrats are exploiting for political gain. Which would not be at all in the news cycle anywhere had he not done this. So my take - dude has brass balls to take one for the team here because people are heated he said it. For the greater good.
Edit: also of note - if Cruz were acting on behalf of uniparty or in official rino capacity, MSM wouldn’t be ridiculing him or running demoralizing hitpieces about him.
As I said to someone else: even if a RINO, he isn’t a brain dead one. Nobody in DC puts their neck out like this for literally no up side and all down side. Epic down side with no contemporary rival that I can recall in modern national politics. If this was a RINO/Uniparty courtesy move, MSM/leftist media wouldn’t be running hit pieces ridiculing him for going on tucker to beg for forgiveness and rubbing salt in our wounds over it.
No doubt what he said was ridiculous and egregious. But what does he gain? What does anyone gain? Unless you look at it this way, there is zero upside. This is literally the only way to find an up side in the situation. So while I cannot say with certainty I am correct, what I would say is that the lack of any upside under the theory that this was a back stab eliminates that as a possibility. Which bolsters my theory, but doesn’t prove it. Because the possibility of just fucking up is still there. But Ted did go front and center on fraud and did vote against certifying the electors. Even after muh drumpf incited erection. Because he’s smart enough to read those tea leaves. To say he stepped in it here is to say he actually is a complete dumbass and is politically tone deaf. Why go through that Jan 6 stuff last year and the lead up to it then if you’re gonna turn around now and pull this? Just doesn’t pencil out for me here.
Or what if, hear me out here, Ted Cruz is just a fucking idiot? Your seeing hyper intelligence but I’m just seeing a lack of it. When something looks really stupid, guess which one it tends to be?
I’m not saying Cruz conceived of it. Trump/Trump team likely did and enlisted him. Would explain the sudden deck chair shuffling with the spontaneous cancellation of his competing press conference that was supposed to be today. While impossible to rule out, to accept that he’s this retarded would be saying that nobody in modern politics has made a self caused blunder that has exceeded this. And think of the real beauties that we’ve had the pleasure of dealing with over the decades in DC.
I did not realize that Cruz IS extremely politically savvy and sophisticated with message. You're right, that could not ever have been some slip up. You're right, he would have known exactly what would be the fall out.
However, Cruz is not a millionaire. Someone is funding his campaign, and whoever that is--he owes THEM, not US (nor his Texas constituents). So I am more than wary.
However, Cruz is also extremely smart. So he could be playing both sides.
And Trump's greatest weapon has always been sunlight. Or a spotlight he shines on whatever topic he wants. And, you're right, this DOES focus things precisely where Trump wants them. His recent actions and statements indicate that he is going to ride Election Fraud right to victory and hopefully election security.
Trump forgot to shine a light on his most important supporters who deserved a mention on that day of any. I doubt both men now. Trump did great things but he’s lost it. Ted never had it.
The Democrat communist used the occasion to show there power and to humble Cruz. He didn't want to but he is compromised and they wanted him to know it. They destroyed his chances for anti run for President and they will do the same to any other compromised Republicans who have any thoughts about running for higher office. The entire Congress signed off on the November 3rd steal so they are lame duck candidates at this point.
He knows that you change what you're saying based upon the audience listening. He'll probably go back to calling it a coup on CBS this Sunday.
This is how all politicians act. I'm not surprised.
It's just going to be tough supporting him in November or whenever he runs again.
I've always said we need to let the eGOP lose an election hard without us voting for their flakey candidates. But I think everyone just goes for the lesser of two evils, so we'll be stuck in this loop forever.
I'm afraid you are right. The vast majority of the population is worried about their favorite ball team, Netflix shows, and getting their DoorDash food order correct. The only way things get fixed is for them to get horribly bad. This requires letting the left fuck everything up. The only problem is it can be 40-50 year turnaround for true Conservatives to make it back in power and most of us won't be around by then. Instead we will get this slow circling of the drain.
Problem is, Dems federalize the elections, and we can't take back the country ever again, no matter how many real people vote next time. So choose sitting it out wisely.
Why not go hard in the primaries? Replace the little weasels. If the new people start acting like weasels, then throw them out too. Once a politician is in, somehow it becomes their seat 'til death, like a SC Justice. Those greedy little ticks should live in fear, if they don't vote and write laws the way they promised, they're out on their ear.
I think Cruz has staffers read patriots.win or at least have a search set up for mentions of his name. It’s not hard to figure out you pissed off your base.
My point? He probably called Tucker and asked to be called out so that he could do the, “Aw, shucks. I was sloppy” routine for damage control.
My opinion? This was more political theater. Have Tucker give him a few lashes and the base is satisfied.
even if he does expose a lot of stuff to normies, i can't forgive him for how he waved off the hunter biden laptop story like it wasn't a big deal just because he friends, fuck cucker
just so long as normies don't know he's 100% reliable and just useful for entry-level truths you HAVE to talk about because they're so obvious to the base, but to still think critically about what he says, since he peppers the entry-level basics to build a rep to lie to us about "president biden" and "riot" and so on
Satisfied? Get real. People will not forget what he said and if some do we'll remind them. I guarantee Trump and DeSantis will should Lyin' Ted try to run for the Presidency again. Cruz can never claim to be a constitutionalist Patriot again. His credibility in that regard is gone forever.
Yeah the Supreme Court comment w/ language was very, shall we say, specific. Absolutely destroyed him and his backpedal. I am not going to speculate on why he did this. We already know there is a generations-long Marxist operation bearing its fruit in our system today. Whether or how he was caught up in this is of no relevance.
We need political leadership that is committed to protecting our nation and enforcing our laws.
Edit: I must say, I was surprised to see him on Tucker tonight. Probably the best thing he could have done under the circumstances. Came on Tucker and took his lumps!
The only way to save face was if he was like “Oh yeah I meant the violent terrorists as in the filthy Biden Admin and Democrats that stole the election.” But now that ship has sailed. Bye Ted.
Naw, everyone would know he's bullshitting, because that doesn't add up in the way he said it. Plus, the cops helped to hold the door open for Biden to slip in.
At least with this, he has a chance to win back some people. With the other way, he would have just have dug an even deeper hole with a very obvious lie and cover up.
I've never trusted Ted and it's funny because all of my close MAGA friends and family, whom I can vouch for, always liked him so much. The way he speaks reeks of typical slimeball politician (mannerisms ... not words) and I could just never trust him.
I think Ted would have done well in the Judicial Branch. Unfortunately, he found his way into the Legislative and he has aspirations for the Executive.
LMFAO Cruz shit the bed, this is worse than jeb and that troll of a wife of his. Cruz torpedoed his campaign before it started. I was always on the fence with him, he pontificates a lot and like a lot of other swamp creatures, he showed his ass one too many times, fuck him.
I had a friend that had an opportunity to work for the Cruz campaign. This was before Trump really took off. He asked me about it. I said that he didn't need to waste his time and the only candidate worth working for was Trump.

This harkens back to when the Cruz campaign spread the rumor that Ben Carson was dropping out of the primary, and then convinced people to switch their vote to Cruz. Of course, Carson wasn't dropping out of the race. He had taken an earlier flight home to be with his family. Cruz then denied this happened. This is how Cruz first got the title:
There's all kinds of information on the Internet if you use a search engine instead of asking others to do your work for you. For example, here is an article about his lame apology after he was called out:
Ok he apologizes, do you feel better now? Fuck that shit. This scumbag showed his true colors and a little “whoopsie I’m saweee!” Makes it all better? Fuck that. We need to crush this RINO faggot. He’s out!
So his excuse is that he fell into the neocon terminology he’s been using for a decade equivocating anyone who violently resists muh authoritahs as a “terrorist”. I’m sure that put a smile on cyborg-Cheney’s face.
Cruz was never Trump. Cruz has always been a snake. Always funny when people seem so baffled when they get betrayed by someone like Ted or Nikki Haley or John McCain (rot in hell) or mitt Romney. They're pieces of shit, always have been, always will be.
You know what, I believe him. Call me naive, it's the only thing that makes sense. It was so far out of character his explanation is the only one that sqaures the circle for me.
I can almost imagine. Kind of like when your milk comes in and the baby hasn't quite figured out how to suck yet. That's no fun, believe me. (lol sorry, its late)
fuck cucker the fucker. why do cucks here keep masturbating to him? he said pedo joe won in a legit election repeatedly. he said there was no theft of the election and 'no evidence' when trump's lawyers were on. he was part of the steal.
Agree, he was the last commentator I watched on fox. After he came on the air during the whole hunter laptop fiasco and said we should leave hunter alone, dropped him like the fake fuck that he was portrayed in the emails between hunter and cucker. He's fake.
This is the best the republican senate has to offer and it's embarrassing. He's flip floppy and knows he needs more than a small district to win reelection, he only wants MAGA when it benefits him
Teds too much of a family man. He knows as well as anyone else that goin for the fed like that will lead to them killing his family. You need people with nothing to lose for that job
How fucked up is it that we live in a "free" country, but it's an open secret that trying to FREE ourselves from the inbred UN banking filth results in death?
Silver lining at least I think he is going to become a rabid dog in the senate to hopefully win back favor which is fine with me if he helps torpedo Schumer
Nobody who calls us terrorists and tries to “back the blue” his way out of criticism whilst ignoring the fact the POLICE MURDERED Ashli Babbit is our friend, fren.
Cruz is finished. We cannot tolerate this level of betrayal and let him crawl back with such a half ass excuse.
There’s some truth to what your saying although it’s dirty. To save his career he needs to defend the Jan 6 protestors and go after the Feds who perped this. We’ll see.
Holds the Bible up high, then turns around and LIES! I actually thought that was crude of Trump to say. Yet again, wait five years and Trump is always right...
In much less than 6 months, you will be getting downvoted for even mentioning this saga.
I know from experience, having multiple times brought up Ted calling us all terrorists last year and the retarded Cruzbots attacking me and defending him.
And he just fuckin' tossed it into the fuckin' TRASH!!!
Was he worried that if he supported the Jan 6th protesters that got drawn into it that the MEANIE WEENIE DEMS would expel him from the senate or something????
The dipshit was clueless about Ray Epps ( allegedly clueless )......
He either knows there is Ray Epps Shenanigans....
Or he is so un-informed that Texas needs a better fucking senator!
This is what happens when you live and breath the swamp corruption too long. You begin to forget what real America is and begin to believe the lies of the marxist regime. Fucking dumb lyin' Ted. Disgraceful. I wrote him today and gave him an earful. Shameful and disgusting what he did.
He never had a golden ticket. No one would vote for him other than the never trumpers. Trump announced he is running, anyone who runs against the trump train will fail.
He did have a golden ticket. But after Trump announced, all he had to do was support Trump (starting with the Wall), and continue supporting Trump. After Trump was out of the way (in 2 terms at most), Cruz would have OWNED the conservatives.
But Trump hurt his feelings in 2016 and he therapist (his wife) told him to 'fight like a man', and so the pussy-whipped husband tried his best, but just wasn't up to it.
He might of had a chance before 2016, but those primaries showed ted's true colors. He shit the bed and came back and shit it a few more times for good measure. He came back and tried to cover his ass and Trump cleared a seat at the table for him. Ted reflected his true colors and total ignorance to read the room by the comments he made yesterday, period, full stop. He wont recover and the best he can do is grovel up to Trump going forward. He was a decent showman at times, but everyone has a clear view of his true intent and what resides behind the curtain. It's over. Maybe he can join the lincoln project, bill crystal or eddie munster aka paul rino ryan.
I will believe it when I see it. I like desantis somewhat, but he didnt go strong enough on mandates here in FL. He will have a strong base, but I believe he will not run.
It'll all depend on Trump. Trump is taking a daily beating with his stance on the vax, not talking about the political prisoners, ignoring the mandates (for the most part) and it continues to erode his base. But when or if he goes all-in for 2024, he will be unbeatable. He will have a massive base of support again. It'll be bigger than it was in 2019.
At this point, anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who is repeating the lies (like it’s primarily the unvaxxed filling up hospitals) used to justify the immoral, unlawful, fascist vaccine mandates, even if they have a “well its your personal choice” mindset, is actively assisting enemies of freedom with their voice.
I respected Trump because he took a stand against the leftists narratives. Now he gives them credence. He is not unbeatable in 2024, just like Jeb wasn’t unbeatable in 2016.
Read Trump's recent comments on the vax. Agree with you, but he is ripping the mandates, says it's a personal choice is my read. I want him to go further as it's quite clear that something nefarious is going on with the vax, period full stop. The political prisoners, agree, they are being discriminated against it sounds like. I would also add that if some did what they stated they did, they should do some time, BUT with the pantifa crowd getting carte blanche to burn down building and courts with no punishment, there is an issue of equal justice that will need to be addressed. The elephant in the room is the false flag. There are videos showing them handing out bats - sticks out the window to these people on J6. There is more to the story and Trump is pushing for that clarification. This was a false flag.
We need to be careful. The opponent always runs as a unified platform. No dissension is allowed. Once the anointed one is made, they allow Bernie to make a fool of himself and some token gay guy, but no real challenger is allowed to win.
Republicans on the other hand, enjoy crushing each other so that no one likes them going into the general.
If only we thought about country before ego, we would coordinate as the opponent does and choose the person most likely to win and throw every resource behind that one person.
I've been catching some of Tucker's shows. He's been on-point and going all-in on the BS for some time now. He doesn't pull punches whether it's about the covid scam, masks, the vax's, the mandates, POTATUS and his whore. He hits it out of the park every night and I think people have come back to just to see him, not Faux.
This was incredibly disappointing to me.
I really think Cruz was right on a lot of issues and I thought he could defend himself from the constant media attacks and attack back.
To see him go up in flames to chase some
Mythological moderate Republican voters was a terrible case of self inflicted career poisoning.
Well, at least he came on Tucker’s show to explain himself. He said he calls anyone that violently attacks the police as terrorists. Said he has consistently done that for a lot of years. Said the same thing about the BLM people that attacked cops. Guess I would like to go back and look at footage to see if that was true.
Gotta love how he "explains" himself with a blatant lie to dig his hole exponentially deeper too. He would have had a better result if he pied himself picked up a mirror and flipped himself the bird.
He literally said "the terrorist attack on the capitol". If he was talking about a small group who attacked cops, he would have made that clear. I don't buy it.
Exactly. If he had said "the terrorist attack against our capitol police officers" that would have at least been more understandable. "Terrorist attack on the capitol" implies that the whole thing was a terrorist attack.
He wasn’t explaining himself. He was lying about the whole “I meant the one attacking the cops”. When have you ever heard him call BLM or antifa terrorists? He is a big fat pants on fire. He thinks we are stupid and will buy that nonsense. It’s not 2009 anymore Ted.
His comment came across as a general attack on everyone who was present on Jan 6th, rioter or protestor. He really needs to apologize. Just an awful statement to make all things considered, Cruz fucked up.
But in that committee yesterday, he did not say the people who attacked cops were terrorists. He said it was a "Terrorist Attack on the Capital." He threw everyone there under the bus. He painted the entire MAGA movement as a terrorist organization. A guy this smart who choses his words carefully could not make a mistake like that. It was deliberate.
I can't stand that show... The Five is awful. Basically just gutfeld and Jesse being told not to push too much as the lefties lie and annoying dog lady grinds her dry cunt on the fence.
There is no legitimate reason for them to end the "white race" which isn’t even a singular thing in the USA. That’s what a lot of these conspiracies boil down to. People cry about Jews pushing race mixing or this or that. What do the Jews gain from deleting white people or darkening their skin?
Yeah, I agree that that's illogical, I don't believe that either. But there are much more reasonable theories that hold water. For example that they have hijacked our military and government to fight their wars, and that they have been the driving force behind globalism because thats the system their people thrive in.
He's not capable of doing one that stands a chance. Because to do that, he would have to admit the OBVIOUS - which was that Jan 6th was a False Flag and there was massive cheating in the 2020 election. Not happening.
No more career politicians. NO MORE. We want plumbers and pipe fitters, restaurant staff, doctors and factory workers in politics for short bursts. None of this 40 years in office crap. Term limits now.
He’s said so many great things and throws it all away by making a Liz Cheney level sellout statement. Man talk about political suicide by ol blob fish.
I’ll give Ted credit for one thing, he showed up the next day on Tucker. Only probably is, when he started talking, his nose got so long that it came out of my television screen and poked me in the eye.
If we don't hold GOP like Cruz to account and give him a pass we will just have more GOP cave, like we always do. They keep doing this shit because we keep giving them a pass.
After watching that clip, I think he was literally doing his usual acting routine, and choosing his words for maximum dramatic effect. A simple exaggeration. Doesn't make a difference to me though, since his stupidity helps the left frame us as terrorists.
Ted thinks he can be President if he goes along with the Democrats and bans Trump for running because of the fake Insurrection (trespass/riot). He doesn't realize that Democrats just want him to run because he could never win.
That mother fucker knew exactly what he was saying fuck him with Lindsey Grahams dick and Mitch McConnell pushing every time I start to like a Republican they go and show their true self. I don't know what to think anymore I fucking hate the democrats fucking hate them but the republicans most of them are just as bad well actually worse at least democrats don't hide the fact They are cock sucking faggots and hate us. These fuckers want to fuck us and try to convince us we like it and the did it to help us. I don't know I just don't anymore and the way things look I never did.
Yeah he tried to say it was meant towards the cops....but his original statement was against the capitol... Notice in the interview he tries to get Tucker to agree with the whole terrorism towards police? This is a classic way to get people on your side who disagree with you. You find something the can say yes to and then try to claim thats what I was talking about. sorry not buying it
The only way Cruz can redeem himself is to make an on the record apology on the Senate floor and then start working 24/7 to get the political prisoners out of jail until their trial.
As it stands right now, there is no way I would vote for him going forward.
I also know I have not done my due diligence. I have not seen the full context of his original statement nor the full context of his appearance on Tucker.
“We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week. And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol. My view is that anyone who commits an act of violence should be prosecuted,” Cruz said during Senate testimony from Capitol Police chief Wednesday. “And anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer should go to jail for a very long time. And I think that’s a principle that is true regardless of the politics of the violent criminal, whether they are right-wing, left-wing or they got no wings at all."
Except the left is prosecuting trespassers who did not engage in any violence whatsoever and still calling them terrorists.
Then the whole issue of the capital police escalating the situation by BEATING and MURDERING innocent people outside and EXECUTING innocent people inside.
Those cops killed at least two people without any cause. I watched one black female cop beat a woman with her baton over and over again before she died. So not only does he call us terrorists, he tries to frame these thugs as heroes. Whatever you may think of police in general, the LEOs in DC were absolute scum.
Of course it was a terrorist commie attack. None of those faggots have a voice in this country. Round them up for chopper rides. Trump called the national guard on them for a reason.
A set of balls. A quick cutoff. Statements of truth. A firm stance. Journalism needs this like a patient in surgery needs oxygen and blood in order to make a full recovery. Keep pumping the pure blood and supplying the fresh oxygen!
Ted just wrote his epitaph. He is a political fool.
This is worse than any takedown I’ve seen where Tucker held a Republican to account.
This is almost on the level of the really early Tucker shows from 2017 when liberals actually went on.
What a sorry ass admission of his ”mistake”. Ted Cruz is a paper-thin veneer of a conservative. The real reason he said they were terrorists was that he thought the tide was turning against conservatives. That’s what men without faith and courage do. They are double-minded and they are tossed around like a wave in the wind. I’m so disappointed because Ted is right - he did stand up when it felt like a heroic moment to oppose the election results. When he felt cornered? Left us all to watch ACTUAL men rot in J6 prison.
Yes, same with SC conservatives. Look at limp wrist Grahamnisty winning every election.
South Carolina is a very cuckservative state that votes for RINOs out of blind party tribalism.
Or lack of options.
What a shame. South Carolina deserves better. Graham has got to go. He is only a conservative the year he is up for re-election.
Is it true that South Carolina has an open primary? If so, I imagine that would be a big factor as to why they have such weak candidates
Sound a lot like my old state of Mississippi. It's supposedly conservative but...Wicker?! What the fuck?
"Grahamnisty" as dubbed by the late great El Rusbo.
Right on, right on.
SC Republicans are among the very worst. Most are actually Dimms like Rice and Graham. Trey Gowdy is also a turncoat.
Ill agree in part. Most are old normies who for the most part still believe everything coming from Fox News, but they are slowly waking up! Like you Im sick of milquetoast Republicans in SC, Im ready for an asskicker like SC used to have!
I remember SC townhalls were on fire after Sotomayer was confirmed - which he could have blocked. Maybe there's something else going on with the vote in SC.
Subaru huh? My liberal lesbian sister owns one too
Lmfao, c'mon man. I have both a superduty 250 and a Tremor F150. Your subaru is trash. It can't tow, it can't haul, it can barely get over 3" snow. Fuck outta here with that bullshit. You own a trash lesbian car.
Please detail these capacities your Subaru has the same as an F150, and which Subaru you have.
But your subaru don't squat like their f150!
All hat no cattle
Thats what you get when half the population of your state are hispanic immigrants who welcome their people with open arms. Those illegals are their cousins and aunts, sisters and nephews. They will decimate one state after the other until this country is unrecognizable and its culture has been erased and replaced.
You aren’t wrong.
I dunno. Most of the Hispanic immigrants who have made it want to slam the fucking door. They came up here to get the fuck away from those putas.
As the Mexican terminator would say, Reconquista baby.
I see where you would get that idea, but it’s actually BS. The ones flooding the country are from Central America and South America. They are lazy and low IQ. This is also an ethnic attack and replacement on Mexican descended Americans.
We have enough in California thank you very much. :)
They’d be crossing in body bags
Generational gap, so much wealthy living rubs off the wrong way on our kids who haven't had to work for anything, and didn't "play outside"...everyone got a trophy...etc. Cruz is very sad considering his talent, especially with his family Cuban exile heritage. He chose to forget his roots. His wife is high up the Goldman bank chain IIRC. You can probably count with one hand the number of Senators that are still free from big lobby $$ (Marsha Blackburn...?). Graham in SC, big mouth, no action waste of a human.
Maybe the politicians but not the people
I live in west Texas. We just got a new rep in 2020 (the old one retired after 30 years).
We should have a Bobert, MTG, or Gaetz.
Instead we have a guy who holds hands with Kevin McCarthy. This rep moved back to the district from DC to run. He had plenty of money (wonder where that came from?) to whip up on everyone during the primary and (unfortunately) also had an endorsement from Trump (but a picture of himself with Pence on his website).
He made it clear during the primary that he wouldn't be joining the freedom caucus if he won the primary.
He won the primary easily.
Shit sucks.
Winds have changed. Hoist the sails my friend.
i can only imagine his handlers telling him, you've got 2024 in the bag, you just have to pivot to the center and let everyone know what a moderate you are! what an absolute fool!
i would love to see the full interview. how far does ted backtrack? does he admit that the J6 political prisoners are being unfairly prosecuted? if so what's he done about it prior to his little "mistake"? if he's done nothing, then his mistake seems intentional...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLr1m14NO50
Full interview way better
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=koP0W6sEwwc
Tucker stays on fire and Cruz explains himself
Yeah, Ted did pretty well overall. His real mistake is trying to be fair to the other side.
But I can't get over what crawled into his head yesterday and told him to say what he said in that committee. His words exactly were "a terrorist attack ON THE CAPITAL." Those words mean that everyone there was engaged in an ATTACK on the capital and that makes them terrorists. He did not say the people who assaulted cops are terrorists. What made this guy think this was such a good move in his political career? Boggling.
I might just watch the full Interview
Yes to all of that
Yep, old school politics that just don't work anymore. Ted thinks he's anointed.
yes. ted thinks being "polished" and using the right words gets you elected!
No truer words have been spoken. A man without faith—a man without integrity.
What a complete disappointment.
Machine gun bacon speak with forked tongue. Bad medicine.
You may be correct. I thought the end of the interview made him seem a bit less squishy. I'm going to keep the door open for him, even though I am not happy about the "terrorist" word.
Door CLOSED.
Welded shut
Somewhat agree. Ted has proven to be a snake. But I'll give him some credit, it took balls to address it on Tucker. But he weaseled his way out of the questions, like the slippery fuck he is. So that gives us a slippery snake with balls. So he is basically a UPenn swimmer.
That punchline snuck up on me.
I live in TX. He will not get a vote if he's got a primary challenger.
The last time you kept the door open someone banged your wife. Some people never learn.
I sent this to someone else I was talking to, thought I would put it here. Fully prepared for people to not see it this way, but that’s ok.
As I see Tucker Carlson call Cruz out, I had the epiphany that is likely completely scripted. And likely with the support/approval of Trump. This is a big end around rope-a-dope of the media to get them to cover the counter narrative that Trump himself could not have gotten. Why I think this:
Cruz isn’t retarded. He knows how words matter in DC. He also knows that zero people he needs backing him believe this bogus FBI glow op muh insurrection narrative. Such a monumental political blunder like this, if taken at face value, would be one of the biggest in recent history. In fact, a worse one at the national level doesn’t come to mind. There is also nothing political to gain with this right now. Primaries are too far out as far as news/political cycles go. So is any Jan 6 commission report. Which also appears to be going nowhere fast. To grandstand like this with such a deliberate back stab of your own base, while having to be completely knowledgeable of what your own voters think of Jan 6 and what they’ll think of you for saying that…one would have to completely throw out everything we ever thought about this guy to believe he is this out of touch and this much of a rino turncoat backstabber. Not buying it.
But what does this statement do? It gets “our” controlled opposition media backed into a corner and forced to cover this story from the perspective that this was a glow op and wasn’t even close to how the dems are portraying it. Because we are sitting here steaming about the audacity that Cruz of all people said it. Not Ben Sasse. Not Mitt Romney…Ted Cruz.
What else does it do? MSM absolutely gets off on throwing salt in our wounds. Probably champing at the bit to show everyone that “even Ted Cruz acknowledges the egregious horrors of Jan 6 caused by muh drumpf” and gets them covering it.

Many more links I could offer, but you get the point. In their joyful glee to dump salt in the wound, they are forced to explain why Cruz is on the hot seat - we all think this was a fake n gay glow op that the democrats are exploiting for political gain. Which would not be at all in the news cycle anywhere had he not done this. So my take - dude has brass balls to take one for the team here because people are heated he said it. For the greater good.
Edit: also of note - if Cruz were acting on behalf of uniparty or in official rino capacity, MSM wouldn’t be ridiculing him or running demoralizing hitpieces about him.
Get this 4d chess bullshit out of here. Lying Ted stabbed us in the back because he is, and always was, a RINO.
One think I have absolutely learned is that people would excuse Satan himself.
Indeed...."Trust the plan" /s
So does this mean Tucker (leave Hunter alone!) Carlson is on our side again or are they all just shitty RINO actors?
As I said to someone else: even if a RINO, he isn’t a brain dead one. Nobody in DC puts their neck out like this for literally no up side and all down side. Epic down side with no contemporary rival that I can recall in modern national politics. If this was a RINO/Uniparty courtesy move, MSM/leftist media wouldn’t be running hit pieces ridiculing him for going on tucker to beg for forgiveness and rubbing salt in our wounds over it.
I think this is exactly what Ted would say if he wanted to cover his ass.😂😂
Maybe JohnCocktoastin is really Ted
No doubt what he said was ridiculous and egregious. But what does he gain? What does anyone gain? Unless you look at it this way, there is zero upside. This is literally the only way to find an up side in the situation. So while I cannot say with certainty I am correct, what I would say is that the lack of any upside under the theory that this was a back stab eliminates that as a possibility. Which bolsters my theory, but doesn’t prove it. Because the possibility of just fucking up is still there. But Ted did go front and center on fraud and did vote against certifying the electors. Even after muh drumpf incited erection. Because he’s smart enough to read those tea leaves. To say he stepped in it here is to say he actually is a complete dumbass and is politically tone deaf. Why go through that Jan 6 stuff last year and the lead up to it then if you’re gonna turn around now and pull this? Just doesn’t pencil out for me here.
Or what if, hear me out here, Ted Cruz is just a fucking idiot? Your seeing hyper intelligence but I’m just seeing a lack of it. When something looks really stupid, guess which one it tends to be?
I’m not saying Cruz conceived of it. Trump/Trump team likely did and enlisted him. Would explain the sudden deck chair shuffling with the spontaneous cancellation of his competing press conference that was supposed to be today. While impossible to rule out, to accept that he’s this retarded would be saying that nobody in modern politics has made a self caused blunder that has exceeded this. And think of the real beauties that we’ve had the pleasure of dealing with over the decades in DC.
You act like he’s incapable of making an egregious mistake. He’s not infallible.
This is better fiction than most of what Hollywood is putting out these days.
That's good 3D thinking.
I did not realize that Cruz IS extremely politically savvy and sophisticated with message. You're right, that could not ever have been some slip up. You're right, he would have known exactly what would be the fall out.
However, Cruz is not a millionaire. Someone is funding his campaign, and whoever that is--he owes THEM, not US (nor his Texas constituents). So I am more than wary.
However, Cruz is also extremely smart. So he could be playing both sides.
And Trump's greatest weapon has always been sunlight. Or a spotlight he shines on whatever topic he wants. And, you're right, this DOES focus things precisely where Trump wants them. His recent actions and statements indicate that he is going to ride Election Fraud right to victory and hopefully election security.
So, thanks for all this. I appreciate it, fren.
Trump forgot to shine a light on his most important supporters who deserved a mention on that day of any. I doubt both men now. Trump did great things but he’s lost it. Ted never had it.
The Democrat communist used the occasion to show there power and to humble Cruz. He didn't want to but he is compromised and they wanted him to know it. They destroyed his chances for anti run for President and they will do the same to any other compromised Republicans who have any thoughts about running for higher office. The entire Congress signed off on the November 3rd steal so they are lame duck candidates at this point.
Political tool*
He knows that you change what you're saying based upon the audience listening. He'll probably go back to calling it a coup on CBS this Sunday.
This is how all politicians act. I'm not surprised.
It's just going to be tough supporting him in November or whenever he runs again.
I've always said we need to let the eGOP lose an election hard without us voting for their flakey candidates. But I think everyone just goes for the lesser of two evils, so we'll be stuck in this loop forever.
Well he sure fucked up here about which audience he thought was listening.
I'm afraid you are right. The vast majority of the population is worried about their favorite ball team, Netflix shows, and getting their DoorDash food order correct. The only way things get fixed is for them to get horribly bad. This requires letting the left fuck everything up. The only problem is it can be 40-50 year turnaround for true Conservatives to make it back in power and most of us won't be around by then. Instead we will get this slow circling of the drain.
Problem is, Dems federalize the elections, and we can't take back the country ever again, no matter how many real people vote next time. So choose sitting it out wisely.
Why not go hard in the primaries? Replace the little weasels. If the new people start acting like weasels, then throw them out too. Once a politician is in, somehow it becomes their seat 'til death, like a SC Justice. Those greedy little ticks should live in fear, if they don't vote and write laws the way they promised, they're out on their ear.
I think Cruz has staffers read patriots.win or at least have a search set up for mentions of his name. It’s not hard to figure out you pissed off your base.
My point? He probably called Tucker and asked to be called out so that he could do the, “Aw, shucks. I was sloppy” routine for damage control.
My opinion? This was more political theater. Have Tucker give him a few lashes and the base is satisfied.
That's what it seemed like to me too... what we are on team cucker now? Hunter's bff? Fuck both of them
Agreed. Both are grifters. Both can never be trusted.
even if he does expose a lot of stuff to normies, i can't forgive him for how he waved off the hunter biden laptop story like it wasn't a big deal just because he friends, fuck cucker
just so long as normies don't know he's 100% reliable and just useful for entry-level truths you HAVE to talk about because they're so obvious to the base, but to still think critically about what he says, since he peppers the entry-level basics to build a rep to lie to us about "president biden" and "riot" and so on
I don't understand how could he could possibly be that out of touch.
Satisfied? Get real. People will not forget what he said and if some do we'll remind them. I guarantee Trump and DeSantis will should Lyin' Ted try to run for the Presidency again. Cruz can never claim to be a constitutionalist Patriot again. His credibility in that regard is gone forever.
Nooooo way. No politician wants to take lashes.
This is more like he arrogantly thought he’d get the ol’ buddy ol’ pal treatment and explain the problem away.
But I do agree I think in general him going on the show was his idea for damage control. And he failed.
Nailed it.
Yeah the Supreme Court comment w/ language was very, shall we say, specific. Absolutely destroyed him and his backpedal. I am not going to speculate on why he did this. We already know there is a generations-long Marxist operation bearing its fruit in our system today. Whether or how he was caught up in this is of no relevance.
We need political leadership that is committed to protecting our nation and enforcing our laws.
Remember that congressman from Indians who supported BLM abd got taken down by Tucker? That one was epic too.
I've never seen him look so nervous.
Tucker was pretty rough on him!
Edit: I must say, I was surprised to see him on Tucker tonight. Probably the best thing he could have done under the circumstances. Came on Tucker and took his lumps!
Agreed. I actually give Ted some credit for taking his lumps. If I were a Texan I'd still be looking at Primary options, though.
Faggot Canadian Ted looked like he was going to cry
unfortunately if you primary him it would most likely be to a rino republican, can't win either way
He was bouncing around like he was on springs.
The only way to save face was if he was like “Oh yeah I meant the violent terrorists as in the filthy Biden Admin and Democrats that stole the election.” But now that ship has sailed. Bye Ted.
Naw, everyone would know he's bullshitting, because that doesn't add up in the way he said it. Plus, the cops helped to hold the door open for Biden to slip in.
At least with this, he has a chance to win back some people. With the other way, he would have just have dug an even deeper hole with a very obvious lie and cover up.
He had such potential, I was a fan since 2010 and I have seen him slowly slither towards the establishment.
He was the chosen one, but instead he decided to cut off his legs and become Darth Vader.
He was always Lyin' Ted. He just played nice with Trump and footsie with MAGA after 2016.
He must ritually shave his beard in shame
https://twitter.com/BreezyBeBased/status/1479269384157896704?s=09
He was lyin Ted then he became lion Ted then he fucked up again
Now he's loin Ted.
He never was a Lion that was an act.
I've never trusted Ted and it's funny because all of my close MAGA friends and family, whom I can vouch for, always liked him so much. The way he speaks reeks of typical slimeball politician (mannerisms ... not words) and I could just never trust him.
To me he seemed more interested in people buying his book, than in doing his job.
I think Ted would have done well in the Judicial Branch. Unfortunately, he found his way into the Legislative and he has aspirations for the Executive.
LMFAO Cruz shit the bed, this is worse than jeb and that troll of a wife of his. Cruz torpedoed his campaign before it started. I was always on the fence with him, he pontificates a lot and like a lot of other swamp creatures, he showed his ass one too many times, fuck him.
I wish Cruz would really show his ass so I could look at it and enjoy it. He seems like my kind of guy.
Barry, The boys at Man's country will not be happy at you out being frisky, come to think of it, Big Mike is going to be pissed too!
Big Mike is going to be pissed that he didn't see that fat ass.
Goddamnit. Got me again fatherfucker.
Hey I know of a guy named Jack Murphy, you two should meet seems like you two would have a lot in common!
You mean a disgusting hairy ape? Correct.
You have Big Mikes rock hard buttocks to play with. How could you trade that for Lyin Ted?
She’s always behind me so I never get to see it.
I had a friend that had an opportunity to work for the Cruz campaign. This was before Trump really took off. He asked me about it. I said that he didn't need to waste his time and the only candidate worth working for was Trump.
Idk bro. Jeb got some mighty fine guac
I never trusted Lyin Ted. He ain’t no lion that’s for sure!!!
More like a tiger. A paper tiger.
At least jeb could fall back on being a guac bowl merchant, what does cruz have?
He makes a mean Tacos de Cabeza
Can't wait until the full video gets up. He would not stop calling Lyin' Ted out throughout the entire interview.

fun fact: browser plugins can usually read and track everything you do online including private data, credit card numbers, etc you enter into the browser. So, compromising your identity and security just to save you from typing a n and .net doesn't seem worth it in my opinion. Also, Chrome sucks because even without a plugin they read all your credit card numbers and everything you do, whether on incognito or not.

This harkens back to when the Cruz campaign spread the rumor that Ben Carson was dropping out of the primary, and then convinced people to switch their vote to Cruz. Of course, Carson wasn't dropping out of the race. He had taken an earlier flight home to be with his family. Cruz then denied this happened. This is how Cruz first got the title:
LYIN' TED
Well then. TIL. Always thought that was just something Trump made up because there wasn't much anything else to get him with.
Sauce?
There's all kinds of information on the Internet if you use a search engine instead of asking others to do your work for you. For example, here is an article about his lame apology after he was called out:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2016/02/02/ted-cruz-apologizes-to-ben-carson-for-mistake-on-carson-dropout-rumors/
I’d rather you just provide the source, I appreciate it though man
If Cruz was a champion debater at Princeton, that makes Tucker the champion’s champion.
He did at least say it was a mistake.
Apologize? The fuck?
Ok he apologizes, do you feel better now? Fuck that shit. This scumbag showed his true colors and a little “whoopsie I’m saweee!” Makes it all better? Fuck that. We need to crush this RINO faggot. He’s out!
So his excuse is that he fell into the neocon terminology he’s been using for a decade equivocating anyone who violently resists muh authoritahs as a “terrorist”. I’m sure that put a smile on cyborg-Cheney’s face.
Cruz was never Trump. Cruz has always been a snake. Always funny when people seem so baffled when they get betrayed by someone like Ted or Nikki Haley or John McCain (rot in hell) or mitt Romney. They're pieces of shit, always have been, always will be.
Pierre Delecto — Mittens was xer name before the transition
You know what, I believe him. Call me naive, it's the only thing that makes sense. It was so far out of character his explanation is the only one that sqaures the circle for me.
I kind of believe him too, but I also believed the myth of blue balls as a Catholic School girl.
Blue balls is a real thing though. No, balls don't turn blue, but prolonged arosoual is painful, which is what it means.
I can almost imagine. Kind of like when your milk comes in and the baby hasn't quite figured out how to suck yet. That's no fun, believe me. (lol sorry, its late)
😂
I kind of do too. Mostly because I trust people who seem to trust him, though.
But we can't have this shit. He needs to decide once and for all which side of this he wants to be on.
Full clip: https://rumble.com/vs3cuf-wow.-tucker-carlson-just-confronted-ted-cruz-over-calling-jan-6-a-violent-t.html
fuck cucker the fucker. why do cucks here keep masturbating to him? he said pedo joe won in a legit election repeatedly. he said there was no theft of the election and 'no evidence' when trump's lawyers were on. he was part of the steal.
Hi Anaconda.
Anaconda here trying to trip us up with his "[name]123" format by making it "[name]1234".
Lmao how'd I know it was this faggot without even reading it's name
He's equally bad to Ted. He hasn't gone after a real issue in ages, but he jumps on tearing up a Republican. Even a weak one like Ted.
Agree, he was the last commentator I watched on fox. After he came on the air during the whole hunter laptop fiasco and said we should leave hunter alone, dropped him like the fake fuck that he was portrayed in the emails between hunter and cucker. He's fake.
Fuck off Ted. I was just starting to like you too
This is the best the republican senate has to offer and it's embarrassing. He's flip floppy and knows he needs more than a small district to win reelection, he only wants MAGA when it benefits him
If they really wanted support, they'd come out against the NWO Cabal and campaign to end the Federal Reserve.
Teds too much of a family man. He knows as well as anyone else that goin for the fed like that will lead to them killing his family. You need people with nothing to lose for that job
How fucked up is it that we live in a "free" country, but it's an open secret that trying to FREE ourselves from the inbred UN banking filth results in death?
FUQ THAT NOISE MATE HOW FUKIN BATSHIT IS THE GODDAMN CLOWN WORLD ELSE U EXPECTIN NOW MATE ROFL!
Like rand paul? You know the guy who was against border construction and voted to certify biden?
Rand Paul is nothing like Ron Paul people need to get those expectations out their head
Silver lining at least I think he is going to become a rabid dog in the senate to hopefully win back favor which is fine with me if he helps torpedo Schumer
Nobody who calls us terrorists and tries to “back the blue” his way out of criticism whilst ignoring the fact the POLICE MURDERED Ashli Babbit is our friend, fren.
Cruz is finished. We cannot tolerate this level of betrayal and let him crawl back with such a half ass excuse.
I mean did you expect capitol cops to not shoot? I get that her death is tragic but it was also kind of expected. I watched it live.
I agree. He could have doubled down like a Dem would do, but he retracted.
He does owe us tendies!
He will need to become the senate's MTG to get past this. That means actions, not words.
There’s some truth to what your saying although it’s dirty. To save his career he needs to defend the Jan 6 protestors and go after the Feds who perped this. We’ll see.
Trump warned us
Lyin' Ted
Holds the Bible up high, then turns around and LIES! I actually thought that was crude of Trump to say. Yet again, wait five years and Trump is always right...
It's scary how accurate he is...
And that is why I'm 100% MAGA
Cruz nicknames on the Donald every 6 months
Lyin Ted
Lion Ted
Lyin Ted
Lion Ted
Lyin Ted
Lion Ted
Lyin Ted
Lion Ted
So true. But I think this one seals the deal. Lyin' Ted indeed.
In much less than 6 months, you will be getting downvoted for even mentioning this saga.
I know from experience, having multiple times brought up Ted calling us all terrorists last year and the retarded Cruzbots attacking me and defending him.
Oh now we got it? Ok
And “tuckers a cuck and so are you if you watch him reee!”
You forgot Complyin 'Ted
Actually the only name he hates is Rafael
His birth name
He also lied about his trip to Cancun during the Texas Freeze a year ago. Got caught on that too.
Who cares that freeze sucked
Dude had a golden ticket
And he just fuckin' tossed it into the fuckin' TRASH!!!
Was he worried that if he supported the Jan 6th protesters that got drawn into it that the MEANIE WEENIE DEMS would expel him from the senate or something????
The dipshit was clueless about Ray Epps ( allegedly clueless )......
He either knows there is Ray Epps Shenanigans....
Or he is so un-informed that Texas needs a better fucking senator!
This is what happens when you live and breath the swamp corruption too long. You begin to forget what real America is and begin to believe the lies of the marxist regime. Fucking dumb lyin' Ted. Disgraceful. I wrote him today and gave him an earful. Shameful and disgusting what he did.
Allegedly. Sure. He knows.
He straight up sad it's obvious he was a fed lol
He never had a golden ticket. No one would vote for him other than the never trumpers. Trump announced he is running, anyone who runs against the trump train will fail.
He did have a golden ticket. But after Trump announced, all he had to do was support Trump (starting with the Wall), and continue supporting Trump. After Trump was out of the way (in 2 terms at most), Cruz would have OWNED the conservatives.
But Trump hurt his feelings in 2016 and he therapist (his wife) told him to 'fight like a man', and so the pussy-whipped husband tried his best, but just wasn't up to it.
He might of had a chance before 2016, but those primaries showed ted's true colors. He shit the bed and came back and shit it a few more times for good measure. He came back and tried to cover his ass and Trump cleared a seat at the table for him. Ted reflected his true colors and total ignorance to read the room by the comments he made yesterday, period, full stop. He wont recover and the best he can do is grovel up to Trump going forward. He was a decent showman at times, but everyone has a clear view of his true intent and what resides behind the curtain. It's over. Maybe he can join the lincoln project, bill crystal or eddie munster aka paul rino ryan.
Trump announced?
Huh... link?
DeSantis is running against Trump.
No he isn't
What makes you so confident?
DeSantis is way more valuable to the party if he stays at the state level for now
I will believe it when I see it. I like desantis somewhat, but he didnt go strong enough on mandates here in FL. He will have a strong base, but I believe he will not run.
It'll all depend on Trump. Trump is taking a daily beating with his stance on the vax, not talking about the political prisoners, ignoring the mandates (for the most part) and it continues to erode his base. But when or if he goes all-in for 2024, he will be unbeatable. He will have a massive base of support again. It'll be bigger than it was in 2019.
At this point, anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who is repeating the lies (like it’s primarily the unvaxxed filling up hospitals) used to justify the immoral, unlawful, fascist vaccine mandates, even if they have a “well its your personal choice” mindset, is actively assisting enemies of freedom with their voice.
I respected Trump because he took a stand against the leftists narratives. Now he gives them credence. He is not unbeatable in 2024, just like Jeb wasn’t unbeatable in 2016.
Read Trump's recent comments on the vax. Agree with you, but he is ripping the mandates, says it's a personal choice is my read. I want him to go further as it's quite clear that something nefarious is going on with the vax, period full stop. The political prisoners, agree, they are being discriminated against it sounds like. I would also add that if some did what they stated they did, they should do some time, BUT with the pantifa crowd getting carte blanche to burn down building and courts with no punishment, there is an issue of equal justice that will need to be addressed. The elephant in the room is the false flag. There are videos showing them handing out bats - sticks out the window to these people on J6. There is more to the story and Trump is pushing for that clarification. This was a false flag.
No he isn’t lmao he’s only taking a beating on patriots.win. Go anywhere else.
I'm on Gab. He takes a beating there too for the same things talked about here.
And he's gonna get SCHLONGED
We need to be careful. The opponent always runs as a unified platform. No dissension is allowed. Once the anointed one is made, they allow Bernie to make a fool of himself and some token gay guy, but no real challenger is allowed to win.
Republicans on the other hand, enjoy crushing each other so that no one likes them going into the general.
If only we thought about country before ego, we would coordinate as the opponent does and choose the person most likely to win and throw every resource behind that one person.
This is how you get a Jeb vs Hillary meaningless election.
I shall call a truce with Tucker for tonight. Ripped the mask off that little fucker.
LYIN' TED.
He was more than awesome on this one.
You don't have to be a terrorist to be sent to gitmo in 2004.
A warlord who didn't like you could just say you were one.
A pity that he has no balls to do it to a democrat senator. I guess he's useful for getting RINOs though.
Nah, that would require some balls or to work for the FBI.
democrats wont go on his show.
I've been catching some of Tucker's shows. He's been on-point and going all-in on the BS for some time now. He doesn't pull punches whether it's about the covid scam, masks, the vax's, the mandates, POTATUS and his whore. He hits it out of the park every night and I think people have come back to just to see him, not Faux.
Tucker backed off though, so it wasn't a real fight, it was a farce
no truce
Sad thing is, if Tucker wants his viewers back, all he has to do is leave Fox
This was incredibly disappointing to me. I really think Cruz was right on a lot of issues and I thought he could defend himself from the constant media attacks and attack back.
To see him go up in flames to chase some Mythological moderate Republican voters was a terrible case of self inflicted career poisoning.
I agree 100% on this.
Not my favorite, but he made good on a lot of stuff.
Poof
Same. I am very disappointed.
The good news is he’ll have to actually draw some blood to try and recover his career. That’s about as good as we can hope for.
LYIN’ TED WET THE BED
Well, at least he came on Tucker’s show to explain himself. He said he calls anyone that violently attacks the police as terrorists. Said he has consistently done that for a lot of years. Said the same thing about the BLM people that attacked cops. Guess I would like to go back and look at footage to see if that was true.
Gotta love how he "explains" himself with a blatant lie to dig his hole exponentially deeper too. He would have had a better result if he pied himself picked up a mirror and flipped himself the bird.
LOL funny visual thanks fren
He literally said "the terrorist attack on the capitol". If he was talking about a small group who attacked cops, he would have made that clear. I don't buy it.
Exactly. If he had said "the terrorist attack against our capitol police officers" that would have at least been more understandable. "Terrorist attack on the capitol" implies that the whole thing was a terrorist attack.
He wasn’t explaining himself. He was lying about the whole “I meant the one attacking the cops”. When have you ever heard him call BLM or antifa terrorists? He is a big fat pants on fire. He thinks we are stupid and will buy that nonsense. It’s not 2009 anymore Ted.
For real. Tbh when I heard his "Terrorist" line my first thought was "fair enough if you also consider the BLM riots terrorism".
Of course all search engine results are just on his 1/6 comments.
Did he reference BLM as Terrorist? Idk, but I have a feeling I would have heard about it if he did
In July 2019, Cruz cosponsored Senate Resolution 279,
S.Res.279 - A resolution calling for the designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
I still don't trust the guy though.
His comment came across as a general attack on everyone who was present on Jan 6th, rioter or protestor. He really needs to apologize. Just an awful statement to make all things considered, Cruz fucked up.
But in that committee yesterday, he did not say the people who attacked cops were terrorists. He said it was a "Terrorist Attack on the Capital." He threw everyone there under the bus. He painted the entire MAGA movement as a terrorist organization. A guy this smart who choses his words carefully could not make a mistake like that. It was deliberate.
Tucker, the only good show left on FOX,,,,,,,,,,,,and Gutfeld,,,,,,
I also like The Five, except when Geraldo is on there.
I totally agree. Geraldo is terrible.
Sometimes it’s fun if Geraldo is on and Jesse or Gregg tear him a new one.
Definitely. The best part is when Greg verbally destroys them.
I can't stand that show... The Five is awful. Basically just gutfeld and Jesse being told not to push too much as the lefties lie and annoying dog lady grinds her dry cunt on the fence.
As long as you realize that it is controlled opposition.
I try to keep sane when Juan talks by counting his blinks. Only I can't count that high.
They're all vaccinated.
Boomers just can't help themselves; the legacy media's teat is too nice.
I get 10 channels of choice, may as well make one FNC
Laura Ingraham is ok.
Ingraham is pretty good too.
The only apology I'd buy from him if he worked day and night to get the political prisoners freed...and remedied.
Also, if he actually called out the globalists BY NAME. That's what we need.
The Jews you mean. If you can't even say that much on an anonymous forum, we're fucked.
By that logic you’ll never win. Jews "own" both parties. They’re beyond parties.
Not that I believe most of that bs. It’s just illogical. Early life is funny to look at though!
Indeed, they do. I don't see how anyone could claim otherwise. So what's the part you "don't believe" then?
There is no legitimate reason for them to end the "white race" which isn’t even a singular thing in the USA. That’s what a lot of these conspiracies boil down to. People cry about Jews pushing race mixing or this or that. What do the Jews gain from deleting white people or darkening their skin?
Yeah, I agree that that's illogical, I don't believe that either. But there are much more reasonable theories that hold water. For example that they have hijacked our military and government to fight their wars, and that they have been the driving force behind globalism because thats the system their people thrive in.
Fuck off already, parasite.
Stop noticing things! It's antisemitic!
You have it exactly right. Anything else is talk!
He's not capable of doing one that stands a chance. Because to do that, he would have to admit the OBVIOUS - which was that Jan 6th was a False Flag and there was massive cheating in the 2020 election. Not happening.
No more career politicians. NO MORE. We want plumbers and pipe fitters, restaurant staff, doctors and factory workers in politics for short bursts. None of this 40 years in office crap. Term limits now.
No doctors. They're almost worse than politicians at this point.
That's why they named it that.
I’m pretty sure I don’t want waitresses running the nation. This is why Socrates hated populism lmao.
Why would any of those people choose to step into politics and have the media crawl up their ass.
only someone rich and well prepared could even try.
and only one of those tried so far... didn't turn out well. turns out you cant do it all alone.
He’s said so many great things and throws it all away by making a Liz Cheney level sellout statement. Man talk about political suicide by ol blob fish.
CRUZ is in FULL DAMAGE CONTROL.
...too late Ted. Your own torpedo circled around and went right up your ass...
This is why only an outsider like Trump can ever be trusted......desantis included
Has the same vibe as old one eyes brief rise to stardom
Lol
That's why I say I could see myself voted for Desantis his 2nd term, but I don't trust the GOP at all. Hell I didn't even vote Trump the first time
Agree on DeSantis...something isn't quite right there.
Trump called him Lying Ted in 2016 for a reason. He is a swamp creature.
I’ll give Ted credit for one thing, he showed up the next day on Tucker. Only probably is, when he started talking, his nose got so long that it came out of my television screen and poked me in the eye.
It was weird to see real head to head discourse. I didn’t know that happened anymore.
I liked Ted.
What a tell, for a tool...
This fucker is trying to play both sides. Got caught. What a fool.
If we don't hold GOP like Cruz to account and give him a pass we will just have more GOP cave, like we always do. They keep doing this shit because we keep giving them a pass.
And Jason Whitlock smoked Cruz!
Yes I am! I'll be rallying with y'all. First one of 2022!
Beating a cop doesn't equal terrorism. Don't condone it but Ted is full of shit no matter how he tries to spin his words.
TEXAS TED?
Cuckin' Ted
All hat and no cattle. He talks a whole lot but like we saw with the big tech hearings, there's no follow through. It's all air. Smarmy hot air.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's so phony. Anytime he speaks it's like he's acting. Not a genuine person.
After watching that clip, I think he was literally doing his usual acting routine, and choosing his words for maximum dramatic effect. A simple exaggeration. Doesn't make a difference to me though, since his stupidity helps the left frame us as terrorists.
Prostrate yourself, you snake bitch.
The desperate look of someone who knows they have done so wrong there is no going back.
That was refreshing.
Ted thinks he can be President if he goes along with the Democrats and bans Trump for running because of the fake Insurrection (trespass/riot). He doesn't realize that Democrats just want him to run because he could never win.
Lying Ted Shit the bed Took one to the head Now his campaign is dead.
Never worry Never fear We wont forget what you said Come election year.
That mother fucker knew exactly what he was saying fuck him with Lindsey Grahams dick and Mitch McConnell pushing every time I start to like a Republican they go and show their true self. I don't know what to think anymore I fucking hate the democrats fucking hate them but the republicans most of them are just as bad well actually worse at least democrats don't hide the fact They are cock sucking faggots and hate us. These fuckers want to fuck us and try to convince us we like it and the did it to help us. I don't know I just don't anymore and the way things look I never did.
all rook same
Yeah he tried to say it was meant towards the cops....but his original statement was against the capitol... Notice in the interview he tries to get Tucker to agree with the whole terrorism towards police? This is a classic way to get people on your side who disagree with you. You find something the can say yes to and then try to claim thats what I was talking about. sorry not buying it
Good. He is a top swamp rat, right after McConnell and Lindsey Graham.
And his senate bro Cornyn. They both need to go go go!
Good! He finally pushes the fuck back on these corrupt politicians and calls them out.
Naive
Lmao, Cruz looked so weak there.
What a pathetic worm
The only way Cruz can redeem himself is to make an on the record apology on the Senate floor and then start working 24/7 to get the political prisoners out of jail until their trial.
I'd actually take the second part over first any day of the week - actions speak louder than words.
He's not redeeming himself. He showed who he really is, which was primary 2016 Cruz. He never changed.
Tucker was phenomenal tonight. Got up in Ted’s ass and wouldn’t get out. Whitlock wand Julie Kelly also awesome.
Fatality.
He's not referred to as "lying Ted" for nothing....
I need the full clip and context.
As it stands right now, there is no way I would vote for him going forward.
I also know I have not done my due diligence. I have not seen the full context of his original statement nor the full context of his appearance on Tucker.
“We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week. And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol. My view is that anyone who commits an act of violence should be prosecuted,” Cruz said during Senate testimony from Capitol Police chief Wednesday. “And anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer should go to jail for a very long time. And I think that’s a principle that is true regardless of the politics of the violent criminal, whether they are right-wing, left-wing or they got no wings at all."
https://thelibertydaily.com/ted-cruz-betrays-america-sides-with-democrats-over-january-6-heres-why/
Except the left is prosecuting trespassers who did not engage in any violence whatsoever and still calling them terrorists.
Then the whole issue of the capital police escalating the situation by BEATING and MURDERING innocent people outside and EXECUTING innocent people inside.
Those cops killed at least two people without any cause. I watched one black female cop beat a woman with her baton over and over again before she died. So not only does he call us terrorists, he tries to frame these thugs as heroes. Whatever you may think of police in general, the LEOs in DC were absolute scum.
Pfft. They got waved in by the law enforcement.
i call anyone who attacks cops terrorists
literally his reasoning verbatim
still watch it yourself, but he killed his own career
He tried to lie his way out of it in the full clip.
Ted Cruz killed his political career in less than 30 seconds. Good Riddance.
Lmfao holy shit. I need to know what happened next!
They're all a fucking joke Cruz tucker etc.
Yes, but best to expose the weak fuckers now than when they are in trenches and decide to go Benedict Arnold on us.
Cruz already did when he did nothing on the fllor of the Senate except echo Pence.
this
Tucker!!!
Of course it was a terrorist commie attack. None of those faggots have a voice in this country. Round them up for chopper rides. Trump called the national guard on them for a reason.
Backtracking POS. You said what you said. Own it and suffer the consequences of your deplorable actions.
He’s was particularly good at snaking. He fucked up big time here. We’re we suppose to think oh he’s one of us maybe it was a terror attack?
Chump and I hate him more than say AOC because he’s a fucking snake.
I saw this interview tonight. Cruz is a con man. He’s what’s known as controlled opposition.
That smackdown was the icing on the cake of the anniversary today.
Republican representatives live in bubble too, just like democrats.
A set of balls. A quick cutoff. Statements of truth. A firm stance. Journalism needs this like a patient in surgery needs oxygen and blood in order to make a full recovery. Keep pumping the pure blood and supplying the fresh oxygen!
