I will respect him for immediately coming on the number one cable news show to take the heat and offer his explanation.
I don’t know if he was aware of it beforehand, but this was not to be a Joy Reid vs. Kamala Harris “grilling.” Tucker let him have it with both barrels, to the point of actually calling him a liar.
That being said, he defended his characterization of 1/6 participants as “terrorists” only somewhat credibly, certainly not spectacularly.
So, where am I at with Senator Cruz now?
Pretty much where I am with most of the Republican Party.
Do I agree with everything he says and does? Absolutely not.
Would I prefer a Democrat? Any Democrat?
Not in this lifetime.
Such is the curse of being a conservative.
Cruz has stepped in it before, mainly because of his hatred for Trump. This was probably born of that hatred as well. He just can’t resist when he feels like he has a chance to take Trump down a notch.
It’s really stupid and he winds up doing far more damage to himself. It also shows a huge lack of character.
The thing that stood out to me, he claimed he has been trying to get Justice for the political prisoners from January 6, but he had to know making that statement he is condemning them.
