What could possibly have happened to Ted to turn him into a shill for Democrat talking points on January 6, 2021?
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.
Is he feeling pressure over having protested voting results and fears being branded as an insurrectionist? Maybe he thinks Mark Elias’s scheme to disqualify Republicans from running for office is a real threat to him. But he should know that appeasing the enemy does not work.
Has he been in the Senate too long, and now wants to avoid confrontation with the Democrats? “Comity” is the word that used to be used, but these days the Democrats are offering none of it. They want to destroy the filibuster to ram through voting procedures that would enable perpetual cheating with mail-in ballots being counted for days after the election.

I’m a longtime supporter of Sen. Cruz. I’m getting the feeling that something is up with him. His daughter’s recent comments and now these from Jan. 6 make me wonder whether he’s been given the Roberts treatment.
As I stated and the photo communicated, Reagan & Trump remain the last two pro-America presidents.
This is factual reality.
Cheats on his wife? Can you elaborate?
Immediately after Trump won in November 2016, I went and changed my party affiliation. I changed it from Republican ton non-affiliated (some say, “Independent”).
I was so disgusted by the way the Republican establishment opposed Trump. And he still won in 2016.
I think it’s 2016 and it’s counties.
I don’t know about the rumors of an affair. As for being a bastard— that’s almost a prerequisite for the job. For the time being I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
The fact is, there were violent terrorists in DC on Jan.6, to wit:

Can you look it up before asking me for verification? I’m not a journalist. This was brought up in 2016 and he didn’t deny it. Look it up yourself. I don’t care if someone cheats on his wife, ok? But if he’s running for president (by extension) he should clean all that stuff up before doing so, or wait until another season.
I still think the guy (Ted Cruz) is a crafty politician and an asset to the GOP. I’ve lowered my expectations of him as of.... hmmmmm.... about 10 years ago. I donated to him when he decided to run for president in 2016.
Something happened behind the scenes we are not privy too.
Cruz knows words have meanings. Sitting here listening to the Clay & Buck show as well and the caterwauling about these people being detained so long without bail or trial dates.
Check the language they use regarding these people and the ones they plan to round-up.
Terrorist
It is really, really important to understand what they are signaling.
Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. No. 107-52) expanded the definition of terrorism to cover “”domestic,”” as opposed to international, terrorism. A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act “dangerous to human life” that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.
Now somewhere in the back of my mind...I seem to recall they can “detain” these “terrorists” as long as they feel they need too. I am thinking that little nugget was in the NDAA a few years back and likely still there. We old FReepers made a fuss about it at the time.
Right now these people or the few that have been charged so fair got slaps on their hands. Did Ted Cruz use terrorist and believe it or was he signaling how the next round of arresting charges were going to be prosecuted? Did he find himself on the receiving end of a threat of “domestic terrorism” charges?
Read my tagline, what did 2022 say to 2021...
That is what I think, he was on the receiving end of the terrorism and the democRAT threat to expel them from congress. You know Garland and Wray are itching for this.
Correct. Would we be better off with him still in congress or sitting in detention? He might still end up there anyway.
Cruz was leading the charge to challenge the 2020 election results that made Democrat Joe Biden the President.
BTTT. Tucker will be interviewing Cruz in a couple minutes…
