Also, Ray Epps gets a mention.

I’m so mad! Directv didn’t record the show from January 6th! 🤬
From the spectacle I saw on 1/6 (the other day that will live in infamy...) Congress wants their own special victimhood too.
And that sickening thumb sucking fetal position tells the world what this (a nation who has become nameless) Gov’t has become.
He came on Tucker, obviously panicked, and Tucker finished him off last night.
Too late Teddy.
We watched you genuflect to the Deep State and won’t forget it.
Tucker Carlson is an American Treasure.
Ratchet the pressure up enough and some Republicans fold. Cruz yesterday. Lindsey Graham on 1-6-21 and shortly thereafter. Pence as Governor of Indiana when Apple threatened a business boycott. Kristi Noem initially over transgender athletics. Bush 43 9-11-21 speech. Romney. Asa Hutchinson. Trump’s spine is rare among Republicans. DeSantis acts like he has one too.
Politics may be a dirty business on the inside, but on the outside you *don't* insult the people who's votes you're trying to obtain.
Just pure stupidity on Cruz's part, and he still hasn't learned .... Tone Deaf
Said this yesterday and after watching the interview when honestly he did get some sympathy from Tucker, something is happening behind the scenes and it is not good. 11 other Senators potentially could be charged? Do we essentially have the threat of a political purge going on. It would make sense in fact, a lot of sense especially if the ‘democrats’ know the red wave is coming in the fall.
The people they are holding right now are small fish. They really do not care about them other than for whatever theatre they can use them for. They are being used as bait. Always, always remember who they are trying to stop, Trump. Consider for a moment the strategy they are using, so many times we Republicans fail to see their long-game until it is too late.
I said it yesterday and I will say it again, Ted Cruz doesn’t say things on accident. 11 other Senators stood with Cruz on Jan. 6th to question the vote. Imagine losing those 12 to this witch hunt and them falling under the Patriot Act. All of them, their families, their contacts, their aids all removed. Imagine how much power, the chilling effect, a threat against an opposition party like that holds at that level.
I do know if Ted Cruz has flipped, but he doesn’t mistakenly get sloppy with wording or phrasing.
From Yesterday:
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 far 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?
Cruz = Hindenburg
Oh the huge-manattee
Ted reached out to appear on Tucker because he didn’t expect the backlash and needed a way to walk back his “terrorist” comment. Tucker was having none of Ted’s excuses, and had him groveling.
The Ray Epps part was gold. Ted will get to the bottom of the Ray Epps mystery when Lindsey Graham gets to the bottom of Obamagate.
This really bums me out. Ted Cruz just had his “Macaca” moment. He’s a major conservative player from Texas and that sound bite will haunt him and us forever
That was amazing. Cruz looked like he was trying hard not to cry.
Bttt.
OK, this one deserves a song for Teddy Cruz, title it:
WEASEL WORDS!
IT...WAS...EPIC. Lyin’ ted was squirming and back peddling, but, Tucker wouldn’t hear of it, priceless, good on Tucker for not letting this loser off the hook.
C’mon Ted!
Cruz is done as far as any support from the Trump base is concerned.
Cruz is a liar.

SAN ANTONIO — Texas Senator Ted Cruz is calling those who stormed and vandalized the Capitol terrorists, and said he was in no way responsible for the escalation.
Tucker was calm and collected afterwards.
Cruz, on the other hand, was a mess.
Cruz begged him to come on to explain his misuse of the term, then Cruz screwed up his apology. Pathetic. Tucker was fantastic.
