The Texas Senator who has been morphing into a wolf like caricature, left himself naked to his enemies yesterday by his own choosing. After proclaiming the J6 protestors were “violent terrorists”, the articulating stutterer must have realized he stood on a political landmine.
Ted Cruz quickly appeared on Fox News with Tucker Carlson in an attempt to regain credibility. It’s interesting that Cruz chose the Tucker Carlson show for the effort, and it’s interesting that Carlson gave him the opportunity. However, the result was predictable. You cannot create authenticity where only inauthenticity exists. If you try, what you end up with is a hole digger that keeps digging. WATCH:
…”The more he spoke of his honor the faster we counted the spoons.”
Wanna hear how great Lyin Ted is? Turn on Bongino right now. Then turn off Bongino forever if still had doubts on where Dans money comes from.
Ted is attempting to do damage control–he’s failing miserably.
Very early in the 2016 Republican primary, I gave a little money to Ted’s campaign as he was my first choice, PDJT was my second choice. When Trump won the primary, I gave some money to his campaign. Best investment I ever made.
But I want my money back from Ted.
No, Maximus. He doesn’t owe you anything for lying about the old folks at the 1/6 rally. He can say what he wants to say but we can always count our lost money as an investment in our education. Such a learning experience is far more valuable than anything you would find on campus. So, with that comparison in mind, Ted could have saved a lot of people a lot more of their own money with his ridiculous lie.
I lost money down the Mittens Romney dark hole. So, if misery loves company, know that you have some.
Finkle, 1,000 up v0tes f0r your comment! I did listen to Bongino AND I have decided to “…turn off Bongino forever.” I was aghast at his comments regarding Lyin’ Ted. Yes, always, always follow the money!!
I just listened to Bongino. Perhaps I listened to the wrong episode but I did not hear him say anything indicating “where his money comes from”.
He said Cruz was wrong to make that statement.
He said he disagrees with Cruz.
He said Tucker was right to call Cruz out.
He said Cruz should have admitted he was wrong and apologize.
He, like other posters I have seen right here on CTH, does not think Cruz should be thrown under the bus. Are the posters here who say Cruz was wrong but they don’t want to see him under the bus doing it for the money too?
Don’t get me started on Bongino! He says he’s quitting Cumulus because of the vax issue, then he doesn’t. He continues to work for Fox and they have the same vax mandate. He was completely silent about Trump and was salivating over DeSantis until he figures DeSantis wasn’t going to run for president and now he’s all about Trump again. He always says he’s all about FACTS and DATA I think the two words are. It’s his mantra. He just never says what FACTS and DATA he chooses to believe. Then, the other day he says “Sure go ahead Schumer kill the filibuster, fine, do it” real tauntingly and seriously. I’m thinking are you serious? Then he says “just wait when we’re in power we’ll………. and he lists off a couple things we can get back at them for it. He sounded like an immature teenager. I don’t trust him anymore. He’s sitting on the Fox fence trying to ride both sides. And on January 6th he starts talking about Wray bringing up the Russia collusion story again. Why is he bringing up the Russian collusion story again like he did last week? Oops I think you got me started.
I got you started? Seems you are quite capable of that all on your own.
Ok I get it you love the wolfman.
You may want to review my comments on this particular subject before making wild accusations.
My motivations for not “throwing him under the bus” combine Realpolitik calculations, a triage assessment and basic civics.
While Teds a definite snek, he’s a still useful snek as long as his lethality and duplicity are never forgotten.
Since we’re in a real survival war, it makes zero sense to focus on getting rid of useful sneks right now.
Finally, Teds not up for re election until 2024. Now is the time to remain focused on 2022.
The huuuuge backlash Ted got will hopefully help keep the snek in line and make his handlers leery of using him again until things cool down.
Hes so good at duping normies into cheering Establishment moves and narratives its unlikely they’ll risk damaging him further. If they had an injured operative roster, Ted would on it.
Honestly, I really don’t like Ted but…but… I prefer to temper my reactions. As I have said many times on this thread alone he has made those comments many times since last January. I heard him with my own two lying ears. So I do not believe he made a mistake the other day. He chose those words deliberately. He should have expected the backlash he received.
They stick their finger in the wind instead of their head to get the collective thoughts of their voters. But in DC that is not a possibility. There is no real voter collective thoughts. Its all propaganda by the politicians. Thats where “go the way the wind blows,” Cruse feel down. He read the tea leaves wrong, and now he is chopped liver.
i wonder if jeb bush told him to say that. in 2016 he was my first choice for the republican nominee for president until he let the rnc run his campaign. the rnc hated his guts and they he lets them run his campaign? how gullible are these people.
None of this is any good if 2020 is not dealt with. If fixed it will be fixed only to make us think it is fixed.
The usurping government is not going to give it back. They will say and do just enough so we play Constitutional Republic, believing we are. They laugh at how stupid we are.
Many are still playing the game. Look how many let Cruz office know yesterday how they felt. Today, some of the emailers and callers are feeling successful because Ted clarified himself.
We want Ted to ACT like he likes us and do what we want even though he thinks and believes differently. . ., Even though he is out to complete the destruction of the USA.
I was going to comment how does he look in the mirror and shave in the morning, however he started that stubble after he quit the primaries. He sold his soul.
I would like to remind all that Ted Cruz ran for Senator in Texas against David Dewhurst a long time RNC Texas Politician who had “paid his dues” as Republican Lt. Gov and was back by the RNC. Cruz was Tea Party Grass Roots and got into a run off in the primary which normally spells doom for the “incumbent.” The RNC launch a smear campaign against the peoples choice implying something about pedophilia on Cruz days before the run off. This was back by the RNC money. The Sexual Misconduct torpedo is something commonly used by the leftist commie libtards and is featured as the best way to commit political assassination of an opponent by “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky. The RNC broke the election laws of Mississippi in a similar challange by a Tea Party candidate who had forced the incumbent into a run off. RNC went to Demoncrat black pastors and got the congregations to vote in the run off to defeat the challanger. I am through with the RNC and refuse to give them a dime because of this wanton behavior. Cruz and Trump have both been stabbed in the back by “advisors.” Bob Barr, Sessions, Pence, et al… have all undermine We the People. We the People need to indentify the true “enemies, foreign and domestic” and purge them with extreme prejudice at the polls or by force if all else fails. I have been a Precinct Chair in Harris County Texas and an election Judge. We must not be balkanized by the blame game stories in the media. I read today Tucker Carlson’s son was in the Capital on “insurrection day.” All a distraction. Concentrate on the voting process to win the day. Cancel the computer controlled counting hooked to the internet and the out of control mail in balloting.
agreed!
All of my representatives have been notified.
at a MINIMUM he should be fired from his position, based on a clear and unmistakable lack of shoot protocol and defense “ladder” doctrine.
His aim WAS to kill this protestor, who presented zero risk and whom never represented any threat to him or anyone else.
and he accomplished this without so much as a single disciplinary action.
I have NOT FORGOTTEN.
I will not.
Besides Ted Cruz being completely unprincipled I am really struggling to see how something like this happens. We have Washington DC and the corporate media doing a pantomime show and most of America, including Tucker Carlson asking: “Where is Ray Epps?”
One of the things that has helped me understand the absurdity of the US government is this YouTube channel. And it also helps me understand Vladimir Putin’s “common sense” style, as he has lived through every absurdity the human mind can devise and does not want to go back there:
THE USHANKA SHOW
The biggest corruption case in the Soviet history
The situation between what was happening in the USSR and what is happening in the United States is very similar. The Soviet government basically existed in a hermetically sealed bubble and in their own reality…the citizens would only get glimpses of it when the Soviet government reported record breaking harvests and all of the store shelves were empty. The government’s sole focus was to please the “leaders” and avoid reporting any bad news (ie reality).
Now imagine a system with an alternate citizen based media, that would expose everything the government was doing. That is the system we are living in now and why it looks so ridiculous. IMHO
PS: If anyone is looking for a light hearted diversion from the problems of the day, that YT channel (The Ushanka Show) is hilarious if you want to understand what living in a socialist country was really like. There has to about 500 videos on every topic you can imagine. Almost every story he tells makes me wonder how such a system develops and why people go along with it. (sigh)
I was so happy when Tucker stuck to his guns and told Ted he wasn’t buying it!
The narrative has shifted for the MAJORITY of the population. And now all I need to do is play a couple of Revolver News videos verses getting into the testimony, court documents, IG reports, etc… for Russia Gate. It also didn’t help the Democrats campaigning against the vaccine before the 2020 election and mandating vaccines afterward. Then being stupid enough to mandate them for children.
It is becoming far far far easier to Red Pill someone these days than before. IMHO
Ted Cruz will now learn how a single utterance can ruin an entire career. Cruz will join others like Hillary Clinton…remember her brief “Deplorables” remark…or even Howard Dean, whose entire Presidential campaign was sunk by “The Dean Scream.” Sometimes, a little goes a long way!
Just like at the Republican convention ……
Ted pours the gasoline on himself and then proceeds to strike the match. Idiot.
If as Count Chocula claimed that he only called people who attack police, “violent terrorists”, then he is fallacious in the use of words. Terrorism is a particular type of violence used to stoke fear in the general populace like what the DemoNazi Party uses the Department of Injustice for.
The dictionary defines “terrorism” as the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. Hence, his feeble explanation does not pass muster.
He was obviously lying and gave his DemoNazi or GOP handlers what they were looking for. Just imagine the DemoNazis using that clip in any campaign commercial or using his words to crack down on him and all Republicans. That was a sinister use of words. There’s no way back for Cruz from that one. It is one of those moments that reveals the true character of this fraudster.
As the end of the day, Cruz is all words and no action. What has he really accomplished with all his years in the government? He can’t even stop the illegal destruction of our border.
Cruz lost the trust and support of the American people. He is either devious or a fool. Either one makes him completely unsuitable to ever be president. He shot himself in the mouth.
Words, words, words…
Yes, there were victims of January 6th and both were women murdered by the Capitol Police. Why no inquiry into that Senator Cruz? The truth shall set you free.
ted cruz would sell his mama for a wet donut, he is only conservative if conservative has the highest bid.
Done so done with Cruz!
Why is attacking a cop always an act of terrorism?
If you are cop and you become like an Australian or British cop that enforce not only unjust laws, but unconstitutional laws by arresting innocent people whose natural rights are being abridged, then those cops, or soldiers, can expect to be attacked.
When no elected officials are willing to defend the rights of the people who pay their salaries, opting to follow orders from a globalist gangster operation, then cops and soldiers stop being the citizens’ sentinels and become tools of an elite, global power structure.
Cruz hasn’t thought through his “You can never attack a cop” position.
Cops and soldiers must never be accountable only to the highest bidder, but to defending the Constitution.
And now Breitbart caught him in it. Cruz has been calling everyone involved a “terrorist” all year long, including “terrorists breaking onto the floor of the Senate chamber and the floor of the House.”
Looked Tucker Carlson right in the eye and lied to him about everything.
“Ted Cruz Repeatedly Described Jan. 6 Protesters as ‘Terrorists’ Before Claiming ‘Sloppy Phrasing’”
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/01/07/ted-cruz-admits-mistake-to-repeatedly-use-the-word-terrorist-to-describe-january-6-protesters/
At last its catching on. I have been pointing this out ever since he uttered those words a few days ago. It was not the first time. It is the way he has always talked about the protestors at the capitol last January. I just want to find the audio/video of him referring to the pantifa and blm “peaceful” protestors in the same manner. I want to find the audio/video of him using the same harsh language to describe the actual riots of 2020 when real police officers were actually murdered.
This man talks in circles. If the Jan 6th protestors were terrorists, they should be in jail.
Where is Epps????????
Free the J6 prisoners
MEthinks he doth protest to much. Bye Bye Hopefully former senator cruz (Soon I hope)
He is a good senator and would be a good federal judge.
He will not be president
Cruz was tipping his hat to the Nancy Pelosi and her Capitol Police private security stormtroopers letting them know he was not a threat or concern. From the heart his mouth spoke before he could put his political calculus in effect. He is afraid of her/them and that fear overtook his mouth in the moment.
On another note – why all the bear shaming here? Look the guy has a mishapen head and face – the beard hides a lot of his ugly and IMO is a much better look for him.
Teddy’s voicemail is still full! Hopefully he will resign. That is really all I want to tell him.
Ted Cruz is probably the sharpest political mind in politics today. He NEVER says anything that he doesn’t mean 100%.
That is what is so scary about this FUBAR comment, and several others he has made over the years.
Sadly, this is just more proof that the swamp of Washington DC corrupts everyone who goes there — no exceptions!!!! You can be the most hard-core conservative on earth, but a couple of terms in Congress in DC and you are making stupid statements and voting like a LIE-beral far too often.
One solution: TERM LIMITS for Congress critters!!!!! Tw0 terms in either house of Congress, or one term in each. No retirement benefits. No special perks (that same crap that they pass for you and me). Then back home to your day job!!!
The problem with continuing to support people like Ted Cruz because they’re “better than the alternative” is simply: that is how we got here. At some point, we’re going to have to rip off the bandage and let the GOP know that the ALL must conform to our will or NONE of them will get our support. Period.
The exact choice of words by Ted Cruz followed by an apology and President Trump’s sudden decision to cancel his J6 presser are no coincidences.
The Fourth Branch of the government must have gotten to both men.
