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.”
Just to be clear, there WERE terrorists involved in the January 6 riots. These terrorists were embedded into the pro-Trump MAGA crowd. They were embedded in order to end the challenge to the validity of the November election and to tarnish Trump and his supporters. They were embedded by Antifa with the full cooperation of the FBI/DOJ.
THIS is the speech Ted Cruz should have given.
Ted, talk to the hand.
Stop with trying to find an excuse for this RINO..career politician..It is time to out him for good..He has played this game way too long..He is exactly what Trump called him a liar..
Lying Ted.
Still, this is very odd. Ted does NOT misspeak. I keep thinking I saw this movie.“Witness for the Prosecution”. Ted is the part played by Marlena Dietrich.
His comments sure bring attention to the January 6 lies and exaggeration and sure hurt the RINOS/uni party, but why would Ted make himself the sacrificial lamb? He is clearly not the selfless, martyr type. Could he have been forced or blackmailed into saying this? I know that’s a stretch but why would he fall on his sword? Maybe he did this to get out of something worse.
IMO -It’s just his lust for more power, seeking to run for president, plus he sees the Democrats say something everyday to appeal to gullible people so why shouldn’t it work for him.
There may be something more sinister afoot that we may have overlooked. Mitch may have put him up to this to knock him off the chess board to usher in someone more like Nimrata, which may be their anointed one. Although, to be fair, she’s done the same thing as Ted, but even more serious by denouncing Trump. These guys always play games and there’s a ton of stuff always going on behind the scenes we don’t know about. If so, Ted now knows someone stabbed him in the gut. He’s cooked.
I’m guessing he calculates that the percentages/odds lie with the globalists and he made a deal with them for a future position. He would never be permitted, never be installed as president by the ‘party,’ but he probably thinks like Bob Dole, Bob Michael, Mitt Romney and the rest that it is better to be inside the citadel, rich and safe even if the price is playing the humiliating part of a tune-up, punching bag whenever the champ needs to spar.
Ted not only painted patriots who lost the right to vote as terrorists but went on to praise one of the worst goon squads in the history of law enforcement.
This was no slip of the tongue.
brian was not excusing cruz. he was pointing out a censored story that the fbi was instrumental in fomenting and executing the j6 riot.
and the DOJ and FBI were not only complicit, but probably (if the truth were known) they instigated the plot. I am firmly convinced that Antifa and BLM operate at the DIRECTION of the DOJ.
There’s definitely some negotiation there. A tell will be if they become more visible and active as we get closer to the mid terms and they want to crank up narratives and division.
Brian: if you can find anyone that has access to Lexis- Nexis word searches it would
speed up the process. Have them look up “armed insurrection” or similar, starting on
Jan 6th, 2020. See who the first ones were that uttered the words. This would be politicians,
twitter, in print, and MSM talking heads.
Some one had to be the first person out of the gate that said it. The ones that jumped on
it had a head’s up to jump into the pool.
It’s the same exact type of “timing” that happened when Brian Fallon tweeted out
“Defund the Police” out of the blue. Everyone instantly jumped in on the bandwagon,
because they all were told to wait for an “important” tweet from Fallon.
I will be convinced that the “Defund the Police” horseshit was a set up until I
draw my last breath.
they call them provocateurs and the FBI is well aware of who they are and how they used them
Congress is most definitely aware of all of this. You know there have been whispers in Congress for a full year now about who was really behind this and how it exactly played out. I don’t believe there is one congressperson from either house who isn’t clued in, which makes Cruz’s statements all the more disturbing including their inaction to get the truth out to the public quickly.
I said yesterday his political career is over. He stabbed every Deplorable in the back.
He had already stabbed us all in the back in 2016, so I don’t know why Cruz doing it again would surprise anybody.
Just like Pence.
I appreciate you coming on tonight….and I still don’t believe you.
Remember when Tucker Carlson was referred to here as ” controlled opposition” 😂
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/01/ted_cruz_goes_on_tucker_to_try_to_walk_back_his_words_about_january_6.html
Tucker Carlson is the only one at Fox who is worth my time anymore.
The fact that Tucker Carlson asked the question “Who is Ray Epps?” is a tell that he is basically willing to seek the truth. I doubt you will ever hear leftist “newsmen” like Wolf Blitzer or Chuck Todd asking that question on a live broadcast or recorded interview.
Well said Yappy….depends on the wind and the tide, like a flag blowing in the wind.
If this man had any honor left, he would stand up before the citizens of Texas and submit his resignation. Time for term limits for congress. One Term Only.
I’m waiting……….
All politicians should get two terms. The first term in parliament, the second term in prison.
Lol. So very true.
Too much money in it to let the job go. If there was no money in it, they wouldn’t hang around for more than ONE term.
Yeah, term limits would have to be voted on by congress. They will vote to term limit themsleves about the same time hell freezes over.
I’ll say this.. where the hell has cruz been… He should have been calling out piglowsea since jan 6th 2020 as to why there was a lack of security at congress.
He TURNED. That my friends mean he has sided with ccp/ccp-d’s.
He didn’t want to fight for clean elections and that was the only reason why congress was in session on Jan 6 2020. That was the LAST chance to left to stop the steel.
Ted Cruz is the modern day Benedict Arnold, as displayed by his actions the last couple of days…
We are in deep Sh t…
Hong Kong is not free any more. The CCP corrupted the elite politicians and bureaucracy just like what we are seeing here. It fell in less than 1yr since Trump left office. It’s now totally controlled by ccp…
We know the Pentatgon helped China with corona virus.
We know the FBI help stage the Jan 6 coup
We know the judges failed to hear the election fraud cases
We know the state governors failed to protect the vote
We know the current occupant in the wh / congress / fbi / doj / pentatgon are ccp corrupt because that have all TURNED against USA Patriots.
What the hell are they……
HT/ RW
Pap,
You hit all the marks. Excellent post !
did anyone make sure we have all the spoons after he left?
This is the real Cruz. I know people buy into this guy but he is uniparty, total Cruz for Cruz. Now do you see it?
Remember he went to the boarder with Glen Beck to pass out teddy bears to illegals crossing our boarder, he is no MAGA party by a long shot. AND he know exactly who Ray Epps is. They all do, follow the money people.
Also keep in mind that Levin and Shapiro were his biggest fanboys.
He invoked the Mamet Principle regarding Epps.
The snake gene is strong in this one.
Cosmic question: Does one become a liar because he goes to Washington, or does he go to Washington because he’s a liar?
The town drains your soul like a vampire from hell. It is a rare person who is able to escape without being completely corrupted. In my lifetime, I count one..Jim Demint.
We should view enacting term-limits for all federal positions as a Christian imperative. We could save thousands!
Low morals people are attracted to DC like flies to excrement…very few federal pols are clean by the time they reach those heights….the globalists have their leverage and use it as necessary
Ted is done. Put a fork in him.
Tucker flat out told Cruz he was lying because…Cruz was lying.
They all think we are stupid, still sleeping, and gullable.
No more. Not the patriots. Especially not Sundance’s audience!
Love your work Matt … you have a gift in making an important point in a very simple way.
Dear GOP and Conservative Corporate Media:
Pay close attention to the mass negative reaction to the comments from Ted Cruz about 1/6. This is the tipping point. We the people have had enough. We are no longer going to support party politicians who beg for our support, money and votes and then stab us in the back by appeasing the elites in order to further their political career. It does not matter if you claim to be the most conservative fighter in the senate – if you are not listening to your base and fighting their fight not your own self serving interests then we don’t want you. We the people are on the front lines fighting every day to survive under the outrageous policies of this illegitimate regime because you decided to be appeasers to the left and accept the blatant fraud of the 2020 election. You have underestimated our deep anger over the theft of the election via outright fraud, broken election laws, dirty Zuckerburg money. We are not mad solely because Trump was the victim of fraud, we are mad that American laws have been broken, our Constitution violated and no one is held accountable. We are mad because we see audit results supporting our views, videos of ballot harvesting and destruction of election material, canvassing results, unconstitutional election laws changes all pointing to fraud and we the people are more outraged than the elected officials who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. We are mad because we see 1/6 for what it really was – planned political theater to take your eyes off the fraud. We are mad because we see our government attack their own citizens for not getting vaccinated all while giving a free pass to the very entities who unleashed this virus on the world in the first place.
You have taken our support for granted for the last time. You could and should change course. It’s easy to do but it requires spine, backbone and guts. It requires you to go old school. What I’m talking about is turning off your phones, all corporate media, and ignoring political consultants and go back to basics – LISTEN to your constituents. Have town meetings, engage in chat rooms, LISTEN and then go back to D.C. and fight for them. Stop trying to play nice and compromise. We are not dealing with a rational enemy. Fight on behalf of your constituents and you will never lose. But until you listen and understand the depth of our anger regarding the origins of Wuhan virus, the fraud that resulted in a stolen election and the planned faux insurrection of 1/6 – until you publicly start talking about these 3 areas you will lose support, money and votes. You work for us we, do not work for you so quit telling us to move along, nothing to see. We are not stupid – we are telling you to stop, reverse and go back to investigate Wuhan, 11/3 and 1/6. If you won’t do that then we will put people in place who will.
Finally, to the corprate so called conservative media – unlike you, we the American people are actually fair and balanced. See your ratings dive after 11/3? Well its not because we turned off all news – no we aren’t stupid rubes like you think. We just went and found independent alternative news sources who report the actual facts. These news sites investigate the hard truths that made us turn you off in the first place (Thank you Julie Kelly, Darren Beattie). Want your ratings back then DO YOUR JOB – ask the hard questions, follow the facts even if the conclusion kicks you out of the elite club. This populist anger is a direct result of propaganda driven news narratives meant to keep the sheep asleep. We the people are awake.The days of censorship, propaganda, and political correctness are numbered. You are officially on notice.
Here, here KML.
I knew the interview was going to hard to watch. How many years have we been witnessing Reupblicans, campaign for us to enrih themselves, and apologize. Then they go back to the same old grift.
Maybe we should get them a rehab center.
Pitiful, just pitiful. When faced with violence, violence is the only appropriate response doesn’t matter who it is or what their position is, however if you assault a police officer to protect your rights or freedoms, it does not make you a terrorist….it makes you stupid, in most instances or a Patriot in others. The decision to make is whether violence against those trying to oppress your rights is justifiable and whether you are willing to face the consequences of your actions.
I’ll say I’ve just loved and respected Cruz; but this was way too much. Cruz chooses words wisely, and almost made it to SCOTUS. He said it intentionally; no slip.
We don’t want RINOs or near RINOs even if moderately conservative; we want them all out. No more more Uniparty. I hate what they’ve done to USA. USA was great in 1925 and 1955… enough of them.
Cruz is a FRAUD
What makes a good movie?
That’s what I think.
The swamp is like voodoo to politicians. It is very hard to cast away the spell. You can tell the strong from the ones who don’t change directions when they believe the wind does.
Sorry Sundance the issue of Cruz being called out for his political pandering for votes isn’t about his inauthenticity it’s about his propensity to lie. Cruz is a liar and soft soaping it is part of the reason he and the rest of the liars continue to lie. There’s no middle ground here and it’s time they are called out. We no longer enjoy a civil society much less a polite society.
Politicians generally don’t go on Tucker. They go on Hannity. If Cruz had just apologized to his fellow conservatives he could have dug himself out of a hole.
The Texas GOP had better start finding a replacement for Cruz. Because I, and many other MAGA Texans, won’t vote for him again.
This could turn the Senate seat blue in 2024.
Do yourselves a favor and dig up a Democrat-in-name-only to fill that “blue” seat in 2024. Beat these RINOs at their own game.
Cornyn is far, far worse.
How is it possible that the voters of Texas elected TWO such people as these?
Cruz isn’t helped by the fact that he looks and sounds like Mr. Haney on Green Acres.
And acts like just as big of a crook….
The RINOs aren’t acting (as they always do, just act) like true conservatives because they don’t have to.
In the perpetual lesser of two evils game, they know they’ll be voted back in power in 2022 anyway since most of the Rep voters aren’t as painfully aware of the UniParty as we are here and will not be offered truly conservative candidates to vote for anyway. There are some exceptions, of course, but it would need to be HUNDREDS of RINOs voted out at both the state and fed levels. That won’t happen and they know it.
Dick Cheney comes to Capitol on Jan. 6, says he’s ‘deeply disappointed’ in GOP leadership
6 Jan 2022
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/dick-cheney-comes-capitol-jan-173000153.html
While most Republicans were absent on Capitol Hill for the Jan. 6 anniversary Thursday, one of the party’s most prominent elder statesmen was there.
ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl spoke to former Vice President Dick Cheney just off the House floor.
Asked why he came to the Capitol this day, Cheney said, “It’s an important historical event,” referring to the anniversary of the insurrection. “You can’t overestimate how important it is.”
He added, “I’m deeply disappointed we don’t have better leadership in the Republican Party to restore the Constitution.”
He noted that his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is an exception. She is the vice chair of the House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol, and has come under heavy fire from fellow Republicans.
This was painful to watch.
And he calls himself a Christian.
President Trump was right(as usual) when he would say, “He holds the Bible high, and then he lies.”
Problem is, I believe the average Christian citizen and the average pastor are not informed. They have no idea what Ted or Nikki says/does. They hear pro-life, pro-Israel, and all of the other talking points and vote accordingly.
Side note: I believe Chip Roy is being groomed as Ted’s replacement. He did not defend President Trump when the coup took place and that is my litmus test. Our country is in the hell it is in due to the coup. If a politician can’t see that, then they are not worthy of a single vote. Will I vote? Probably.
This is an example on how Fox news avoids the truth to serve the globalist narratives. Carlson said Cruz was “playing into the other side” by referring to protestors as terrorists.
There are not “two sides” in Congress and Carlson knows it. Cruz was told exactly what to say – to ensure the J6 narratives would include his sound bite of “bipartisan support”.
Cruz is disposable as a controlled opposition member. The globalists are desperate to stop Trump and Cruz got his marching orders. It is as simple as that. Carlson knows because he is part of it.
Geez, what did you want Carlson to do? Maybe slap him. He called him a liar to his face. Who else has done that?
Murdoch signs his paycheck.
THey still have the soundbite they needed. That is what Cruz delivered. Carlson is damage control
This was yesterday and was nice to see Tucker actually push back. Sunlight is sunlight because…
Today is another day where truth shall be uncovered, but on FB and Twitter, it won’t be allowed. The Censors are fast at work.
When something is posted on those platforms: an NYT piece cites an anonymous source close to the topic saying, “Anything that can cast doubt or turn 180 the topic at hand” It wasn’t election fraud; it was an insurrection, he killed two black men with a super-duper wham-o-dyn scary gun, and it wasn’t self-defense. An SUV drove…or, the vaccine works.
Then the collective twitches, and their eyes go all white for a second. And, Joe Biden Tweets to the Twits a comment that starts with THIS IS THE TRUTH, or TO BE CLEAR. You know, to let you know he’s spoken and that anything other than what follows those declarations is “misinformation.”
The uniparty will “allow” a Republican to win in 24. Cruz is jockeying for that slot.
His defense was OK with me. I am not a Cruz fan but all people very often make verbal mistakes and we have to allow them to correct themselves as Cruz has done.
That’s funny. There was no mistake. Cruz tried to say he has his own definition of terrorist and that’s why when he used the word he meant his definition. Cruz is a man without honor who will prostitute himself to win/to be paid. He showcased that fact on Tucker Carlson’s show. No one with any actual defense would play that game & echo Clinton…i”t depends on the definition of is”
If Cruz had made these comments on July 28, just picking a day, instead of January 5th, he might have got away with his comments. You do NOT call American patriots domestic terrorists and give aid and comfort to Biden, Pelosi, and company.
That wasn’t a “verbal mistake”. Thanks to Tucker for not letting him get away with it.
His ‘defense’, if that’s what you call it was full of excuses, distortions, distractions (look, a squirrel!) and utterly abysmal. We don’t need smarmy, discredited, inauthentic people like this. He basically said, ‘I didn’t say that’, even though he said it. He must think we are absolute morons who will hang in his every lie.
Either Cruz was self sabotaging or he slipped and said on camera what he says about Trump supporters behind their backs.
Dear UniParty,
FYI, this is an “insurrection”:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kazakhstan+revolt
So please stop misusing the term.
A picture worth a thousand words…..
…keep your hats on and your flags in place. Be sure to smile for the cameras and take lots of selfies too…
Mike Pence out maneuvered poor Ted Cruz in the 2024 GOPe sweepstakes, with his Amicus Brief to the Supreme Court supporting anti-mandate folks and his jumbled comment that he did the right thing on 6 January certifying the election.
Ted panicked and had to say something…then he also wants to be sure the democrat 1/6 COMMISSION does not refer his name to AG Garland…”I’m with you guys”.
Gee…the joint session of congress held by Pence met in the very same building just 2 hours after BUFFALO Head man sat in Queen Nancy’s chair and DEMONSTRATORS left on their own to go home….some insurrection.
Pence is still more dead to me than Ted Cruz. That is how rotten I think Mike “30 pieces of silver” Pence really is. Only Bill Barr ranks as treacherous as Mike Pence. Crus is one step below those two Benedict Arnolds.
Yep, dead to you but very much alive to the rest of the la la land GOP voters.
Open your eyes as YOU are not the target of this stuff….because YOU and others like YOU will never be convinved. That is a GOOD THING and complement by the way.
They need to convince the majority of the 50% who live in the middle, with NO OPINION.
well at least Cruz isn’t a traitor..he can’t be as he is CANADIAN
Good insight.
Ted is toast, very burnt, too.
Maybe Ted should have gone on Tucker’s show with Carly Fiorina so she could of done the talking for him…..
Massively disappointed in Cruz… why did he say it?
Cruz ought to make it a personal goal to find out who Ray Epps is and which federal agency had paid him!
Why doesn’t Tucker get Ray Epps on his show to answer a few questions?
Cruz stands a slight chance at redemption if he finds Epps.
What a POS this guy is, I watched that video several times and I’m pretty at about the 1:20 mark, (when he starts trying to walk it back) you can see Ted’s forked tongue slip out between his lips. 😏
I was very pleased to see how Tucker approached this interview by calling Cruz out. Calling him a liar right to his face was beautiful. I can’t recall anyone ever doing that to a politician! I thought about how Hannity has given Graham a platform to come on and wiggle away from things and never asked any hard questions or called him out. Tucker, to me has the best show on Fox. I put Jeanine Pirro next.
There is a funny movie “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” (2008) about an Israeli super spy who wants to become a hair dresser in NY City. When he tells his parents over dinner in Israel, they ask him if he is a “feygala”. Every time he tried to justify his decision his mom and dad kept making the grave digging motion…”keep digging, the feygala hole is getting deeper and deeper”.
Do you actually think Cruz made these comments accidentally? Ted Cruz is A bought and paid for RHINO, but he is not stupid. This was an intentional statement. There is a reason he had this “FAUX PAS”. Then went running to Tucker for absolution from his supporters.
My thought would be he wants to lose support so he can “throw” his next election and hand his seat off to the democrats without suspicion of his motives. This is all kabuki theater. Do all of you here think Cruz was unaware of the consequences of his statement? If you do, God help this country.
You are right that Cruz was aware of the consequences of his statement. The question is WHY did he make this statement in the first place?
Another decepticon outs himself to gain favor with the vote “fortifying” cabal so he stays in office for life. Hilarious how he just kept digging himself in deeper.
Tucker: “ I DON’T BELIEVE YOU!”
Hahaha take that, lyin Ted.
Not the first time he said J6 was an act of Terrorism
Ted Cruz on January 7,2021
‘‘The attack at the Capitol was a despicable act of terrorism and a shocking assault on our democratic system. The Department of Justice should vigorously prosecute everyone who was involved in these brazen acts of violence. I thank the brave men and women of the US. Capitol Police and all other law enforcement agencies who responded to restore peace.
‘‘Now, we must come together and put this anger and division behind us. We must stand side-by-side as Americans. We must continue to defend our Constitution and the rule of law.
Hey, Ted: Wanna see a REAL insurrection? Check this story, then count your pampered careerist butt lucky you have yet to experience the genuine wrath of the citizenry: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/dozens-killed-kazakh-police-battle-control-streets-war-zone-banks-being-looted
I would actually respect Cruz if he just told the truth about why he said what he said.
“I was coerced into saying this because the establishment is intending to destroy me if I don’t.”
Cruz KNEW the backlash this would cause for him and he rendered his decision and then he acted on it. Tucker is spot on with his views on Cruz.
Of course it wouldn’t win my vote or support. Fact is, if they can destroy him, then it would mean he is deeply compromised.
A pathetic fail
Teds wording in his ridiculous speech was just sending a signal to all those listening that he is down with them . He is gonna run for President and wanted everyone to know there is no doubt that he is in the game with them. The deal was done , the groveling on Tucker was superficial. The globalists and the Dems know next up is a Repub President and they need one to support behind the scenes , that is all in with them and their plans. Lyin Ted just said it’s me !
DeSantis would bury Ted Cruz in the first 5 minutes of a presidential campaign.
Watch the Washington Post start saying nice things about Cruz.
And President Trump would beat both of them.
Fact is, America NEEDS PDJT again … desperately. These other two men will not have the mandate and freedom to do what a re-elected (third time) Trump can do.
I expect Ted will attempt to “use” God and his Christianity to separate himself again. That didn’t work out so well for him last time around. No, I am not mocking Christianity. I am a rock solid Christian … but there are times and places to invoke God’s grace … a Primary IOWA win ain’t that time. It’s as inappropriate as calling Protestors … “Terrorists”
Unfortunately some protesters are terrorists. Black Lives Matter and antifa are terrorists. And those two groups were at the capital building and were causing trouble at the behests of nasty Nancy.
Tucker did a pretty good job burying Cruz last night. Maybe DeSantis could throw some dirt on the grave for good measure.
He WAS going to run for President.
The question is … can he even beat a Beto O’Rourke challenge again?
He WAS going to run for President.
Correct. Cruz is political roadkill, now.
Yes, absolutely. After giving the Deep State a sound bite that they can run with into the campaign, no amount of backtracking will fix it.
But we understand, and now Ted is toast.
Like 2016, they need Ted as a splitter in 2024. Jeb! 2.0 (aka Nicki Haley) is their candidate.
We’ll soon see the other splitters put up by the Big Club. Those who run, with the exception of DeSantis, won’t be on MAGA’s side.
Don’t fall for their manipulations.
Exception to this would be if DeSantis runs against President Trump.
To be MAGA is to support President Trump not think you can win against him on his platform.
De Santis would make an excellent veep then next in line for the presidency. I’d love to see him answer question for the stupid MSM in the briefing room.
If DeSantis were to run against PDJT … DeSantis would be dead to me. Forever.
Exactly.
DeSantis won’t run against Trump. But I suspect he IS running for VEEP. 😉
I expect Sundance will write extensively on this topic down the road, but I’ll just tee him up with this: watch for the RNC AND state Republican chapters to begin hedging toward ANYONE other than Donald Trump leading up to the 2024 elections.
The Republican establishment–unlike the base–is dead set on stopping Trump, and that includes both national and state party officials.
EXACTLY RIGHT PPS!
Yes! He just kept digging his grave, truly fun to watch. Like we don’t know he is a lair. Globalist
Wayne Dupree, who President Trump even did an interview with way back when has been gradually posting all the greatness of Ted Cruz, off and on. He cannot disagree with all the outrage because he loses Trump viewership and his mission is appearing to be psyoping them. So, he spins this a bit differently. I do not think this article is written by him, just on his site. Heck, even the article by him have not sounded like him for a long time.
The opinion piece article seems almost yoo tight, like it was written ahead of the Cruz crap. Too tight. Too perfect. And too much not representative of Trump Supporters……except those that voted gor him but are still nevertrump at heart.
FTA: “ I thought that most Trump supporters would write Ted off, and call him a traitor and be done with him – and I wouldn’t have blamed them – but that’s not the smartest move.
When you have a wounded politician who feels vulnerable and has to “make amends” you don’t cast them aside… You allow them to stay in the fold and pay their penance because that’s helps YOUR cause.
And that’s pretty much what most Trump supporters said after they watched the interview:
“Good to see politicians bend the knee”
“He deserves the dragging, & I don’t buy his explanation. Note that he admitted to contacting Tucker during his show last night to ask for a chance to explain. He realized he messed up, & hopefully we’ll see something positive from him as he attempts to make up for his gaffe.”
https://waynedupree.com/2022/01/ted-cruz-tucker-take/
No, no, no. That was the problem with the first Trump admin. None showed their true selves and undermined everything he did. The Democrats talking point is that Republicans don’t want Trump, but are afraid to say so. Better to know.
Exactly. There are several of these media darlings that President Trump gave interviews. One being Benny Johnson after President Trump left office. He picked up a lot of listeners and followers because of this. He is all things Trump but constantly building up DeSantis with undertones him for president.
Anyone who puts a name next to “2024” before it is known that President Trump is not running is questionable in their motives and suspect to be closet Teds.
The True Character test would be Ted Cruz’s compensation for the “error”
If he dedicates he life to ousting the FedSurrection and the Epps goon, then he earns his way back. If not, all he can do is hand a sentate seat over.
Repubs have House in 2022. Dems have Senate. Keeps everything AS IS screwing us.
LOL Cruz has NO character…he is a CANADIAN occupying a US Senate seat who ILLEGALLY ran for POTUS in 2016
Did I hear Ted Cruz actually say I’m sorry? I don’t recall that. All I heard was tap dancing.
BINGO!
nope. which is why he is a dunce. but he will help BETO with this ..
Like a friend said last time around Beto is a puto, and Lying Ted is one, too.
I doubt he will be helping the piece of garbage Beto steal that seat he might help another true republican challenge him.
That was break dancing.
LOL!
Tucker pretty much slammed the door on Cruz’s attempt at saying, “Oops, I goofed up”, by damning him with praise for precision with the English language.
Talk about a back-handed compliment!!! LOL!!!
Akin to trusting Al Capone to “oust” organized crime from the Windy City..
He’s toast with MAGA PERIOD!
There is only one reason Cruz reached out to Carlson and it was not because Cruz had “misspoke”. It was because Carlson was revealing the character of Ted Cruz.
I do wonder however it it wasn’t tough love and later Carlson will help rehabilitate FTC
T ucker C arlson T ed C ruz Coincidence? You decide 😉
Ted is a fraud and a manipulative lawyer first and foremost.
And we don’t need those who keep wounding themselves we need patriots who love this country.
Lawyers shouldn’t even be allowed to run for Congress.
‘Hyperbole? He’s a skilled orator. No way to know what he really meant because imo he is untrustworthy. So I’ll guess he used “terrorists” to get him through the speech at the time. It’s all a game to those cloistered bois.
Cruz has long heard “Hail to the Chief” in his head each time he looks in a mirror. He desperately wants to run for President but is well aware he could not defeat Trump or DeSantis. His “terrorists” comment was well planned and delivered with the hope Cruz would then appeal to the RINOs, establishment, Trump haters and disenchanted Democrats.
I don’t know what Cruz was thinking, but while he may have ingratiated himself with the Republican establishment, he permanently damaged his standing with the Republican base.
He said he has been using the word “terrorist” for the last decade to describe anybody who attacked police. I am guessing Tucker will have someone going thru past video and it isn’t there. Lame excuse!
So the easiest search is to see where he called out blm/antifa as terrorists for their riots and assaults on the police during the summer of “Liberalism”.
As far as I remember he refused to do so.
And the video from Jan. 6th clearly shows it was the CAPITOL POLICE assaulting the crowd, including one of their own murdering unarmed Ashli Babbitt.
It was his way of going along with the J6 bullshit. “I’m with you, he said, in so many words.”
Yes, Ted you ARE with them…your colleagues in the senate who had the crap scared out of them last January 6th, and had to scurry to their offices and lock the door. LMAO
So, Ted, now that we know whose side your on, we will respond accordingly. You are done.
I supported Ted Cruz against DJT in 2016. I even donated a little. So that’s the side I’m coming from here. That said, doesn’t someone need to find the times that he called people assaulting cops a terrorist before you assume what you’re assuming? If he hasn’t been saying that, then yeah, maybe you have the correct take, and I was wrong to support Cruz.
Cruz won my support when he went in front of a bunch of farmers in Iowa and told them he planned to end subsidies for corn ethanol right to their face and then went on to win the Iowa caucuses.
Trumps absurd accusations about Ted Cruz’s dad wrt the Kennedy assassination really hardened me against Trump at that time. By the time 2020 rolled around, I could see the good Trump was doing for the country and decided to support him.
Today, my support for Cruz would hang on his past comments regarding Antifa attacks on cops. If he has indeed called them terrorists, then his mistake here is forgivable. If he hasn’t, then it is probably time to move on. Seems like too much time in DC ruins every good man that goes there.
I agree with your assessment. I also supported Cruz early on in 2016. I am also a Texan and I voted to put him in the senate. At the risk of ticking off many Treepers, I will vote to put him back in the senate over ANY democratic candidate. I would never vote for him as a presidential candidate, but I would not replace him in the senate and risk a democratic majority He screwed up royally with his “terrorist” comment regarding J6, but he sure took a lashing from Tucker.
I will vote third party before I vote for Ted. What he said makes a a bigger traiter than the Dems to this country.
Ted walks amongst the Uniparty. to stay in it – to work for them or against them – he must appear part of it or actually be part of it.
