I saw the interview quite differently from what you described. Cruz right away acknowledged that he made a mistake in what he said and, explained why he said it. It was Carlson who ‘panicked’ and simply kept repeating himself at least three more times. This seemed, to me, to be quite unnecessary.
Short of groveling, what more should Cruz have done?
“Short of groveling, what more should Cruz have done?”
in vino veritas
Those words came to him much too easily. He comes out and apologizes and grovels around for tucker because he was called out. But behind the scenes he’s talking to his buddies tossing us all under the bus so the he can feather his nest. It’s an interesting study really... Compare what Cruz says by mistake to what Marjory Taylor Greene says by mistake. Compare what is Cruz apologizing for compared to what Trump is apologizing for.
As for the interview, Cruz answers were not responsive to the question. That’s why tucker had to repeat himself so many times. WHY did you describe trump supporters as TERRORISTS... That’s a major issue in that democrats and the media (but i repeat myself) are trying to portray trump supporters as terrorists. Why did you use that word? Cruz never really responded to that but instead voiced apologies for being caught! “OH Yeah i misspoke!”, yeah right! I’d have trusted him more if he’d just told the truth, “i said it because if I didnt then i would miss the effete democrat cocktail parties and dinner invitations.” I could have respected if he’d just said “It’s what i say to the media because I need the microphone time!”
We need to stop trusting these politicians and hold both sides to account. I’ll have big trouble trusting cruz again.
