I know from the volume of email I’ve received on it that Ted Cruz’s comments on January 6, 2021, calling it “a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol” have outraged many conservatives. Ted was once the darling of intellectually inclined conservatives, but I think the bloom is now off that rose.
Tucker Carlson used video of Cruz’s comments as the keystone of a segment on how Republicans are being cowardly and granting Democrats their false premises on the riot at the Capitol being an insurrection or even a “terrorist attack.” As Tucker put it, he was delivering talking points for Merrick Garland.

Teds all about the money. Just another rino that loves to hear himself talk.

Ted's for Ted. Always has been, always will be.

Yesterday I kept hoping that people were taking his comments out of context. So much for that hope and the hope that there was one real Republican in the Senate.

There are times when Ted makes some really good arguments concerning conservative ideals, then out of the blue, WHAM! He goes off says something that the squad would say, and we're left wondering where the hell that came from. His comments on Jan. 6th echo what the left has been saying. Does Ted have a dual personality?

The lion that squeaked too much, Trey Gowdy, had to have a replacement for the rambling of cowardly republicans. Ted Cruz stepped up for the task of alienating the base of the party. If Cruz would explain maybe he could win back support but where Cruz stands now, he's a debutant RINO. MAGA

Tucker Carlson is a force to be reckoned with.
In a matter of a few hours, he labels never trumper squish Jonah Goldberg the half-wit I've always thought he was and burns down any presidential ambitions that the Cruzer might have had.
DeSantis or Trump.
No more DC insiders.

Ted Cruz——Got the disease. RINO!! It’s been incubating for years. Go along to Get Along. He joined that club. He’s a poster boy for weak, turncoat republicans. He’s in the Senate Club. It’s all about him, power, and money. This country is gone.

Yeah, maybe Beto would be better for Texas.

Ted Cruz also said we Trump supporters deserved all the violence coming at us during the 2016 campaign. So I really don't understand why people are surprised he is spewing his sewage again. Cruz is in the game for his own advantages, and he doesn't care about the citizens of this nation. Not really.

Ted Cruz, my second choice in 2016, is morphing into Lindsey Graham. I am sad to watch this. Well, good luck, Senator Cruz.

There are dark forces working behind the scenes that are experts at blackmail and control. They take them out one by one. I never thought Cruz would be so stupid, but I was wrong.
DC is truly a swamp.

I hope Cruz has a Republican challenger next time. I am ready to let him go.

It's the UNIPARTY game...marginalize the MAGA Trumpista crowd as extremists. All this falderol revolves around ensuring Napoleon never gets back from his West Palm Beach Elbe exile as a candidate.

FTC. He will never get my vote. Just like Mike Pence. These two are a big reason why I no longer trust the Republican Party. In fact I do not believe the Republican Party exists.

Before we throw Ted Cruz to the ditch, couldn't we find out why he made such a wild accusation of the J6 rally that got out of hand? Didn't Ted see the short cop waving people in J6? Didn't he see Epps' "Fed" egging people on to break the law, that fake Trumpster? There's more to this story and we should wait till we find out.

Ted has never been a darling at this house. I went to hear him once in Mt. Pleasant; I thought he might be my guy, but what a canned bore he was. No! Nope.

NOTHING happened to Ted Cruz. He's still the same guy that was originally seen. The difference? His mask has been removed. Once a Cruz supporter.
After all he was vocal and what sprung from his lips was in agreement with my way of thinking. All THAT vanished the day he considered his nomination for POTUS. For a man who claims to love OUR CONSTITUTION so very much, he was willing to make toilet tissue of it and twist his squat body into a NBC when there was no other way. From that day forward, Cruz was sunk, never again to lift his sails and float. ENOUGH! Dirty Rotten Scoundrel doesn't begin to describe such a man.

I'll never, EVER trust Cruz again, about ANYTHING. When things get important - Cruz stabs us in the back.
Ted's in the Deep State, that's what we've found out.
