Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday withdrew his support from Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore, saying allegations of sexual misconduct should be looked at by prosecutors.

“As it stands, I can’t urge the people of Alabama to support a campaign in the face of these charges without serious, persuasive demonstration that the charges are not true,” the Texas Republican told reporters, according to a Texas Tribune reporter.

“Both last week and this week, there are serious charges of criminal conduct that if true, not only make him unfit to serve in the Senate but merit criminal prosecution,” he added.

Ted the scholar. What is the statute of limitations on kissing someone in 1979?

I am truly embarrassed that I was once foolish enough to support Ted Cruz.

How could I have been so silly?

There are only two parties... those that support Trump’s MAGA mission, and those who do not.

Swamp v Patriots

Trump is going to have to take down the swamp dwellers in the republican party as well as the demorat party.

Information coming out of the Saudi housecleaning may be exactly what he needs to do it.

Exactly how have so many members of government, on modest salaries, amassed fortunes?

Nothing like giving PROOF you were never presidential material, Rafael.

[tennmountainman]

The RATs have found their secret weapon.

Just trot out a few women with nothing but 40 year old allegations.
No proof. Just allegations.

And you will drive not only conservatives out of a race, but u will get
other so called conservatives to help u do it.

Glad Cruz isn’t President.

Oh come ON!!!! Geez! And to think I was a Cruz supporter in the primaries,

[Bobalu]

I feel your pain my FRiend, I was also a duped Cruz booster :-/

[TakebackGOP]

Ted Cruz is like Mike Lee. They’re wobbly.

[Cobra64]

Has this asshole Cruz ever been on the right side on ANYTHING?

[proust]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Ted “Grassy Knoll” Cruz strikes again!

[ConservativeMind]

Can anyone see just how this guy would have folded under pressure as president? He doesn’t say Moore did anything wrong, but he still pulls his support?

No class and no balls.

[JPJones]

Didn’t Cruz’s dad help assassinate Kennedy?

[proust]

Did he even bother to look up from his Internet porn when he said this?

[Osage Orange]

Cruz...and all these other Roob's...need to stick a fork in their necks...and know they are done.

Flake has lead your way....morons!!

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, that’s why I began referring to him as “Dead Cruz”.

With me, politically, he is.

[Songcraft]

Teddy Cruz
The Slimy Ooze.

[Skywise]

Ted Cruz ran away
bravely ran away
When danger reared its ugly head Ted Cruz turned ‘round and bravely fled
“Did not!”

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Ted Cruz is every bit as much an empty suit as Jeb Bush is...and now he’s also on the same side as Yeb. A swamp creature who want to be a chameleon. Gigs up for you, Ted...have you stolen enough money (it’s wha5 U.S. Senators do) to keep yourself comfortable for the rest of your life, Ted?

[KTM rider]

If this GIF is true, Ted Cruz should face criminal prosecution for assault....Mueller to the RED PHONE....get him

[kabar]

Typical Rep reaction. Throw a colleague under the bus and don't fight the accusers no matter how baseless the charge. In the meantime Menendez is about to receive jury nullification after Grahmnesty testifies on his behalf re his character. The Dems rally about their own no matter what the charge.

Cruz has always been a wimp and a fraud.
