Democrats have finally found a riot they do not support. The days of "fiery but mostly peaceful protest" coverage are behind us after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. Democrat hypocrites are now conspiring with their left-wing media allies and Big Tech monopolies to cancel the opposition, and Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz is on their kill list.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who was fine with her base rioting for months last year, is now calling on Sens. Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) to resign after blaming the two senators for the violence at the Capitol on Wednesday.
"Sen. Cruz, you must accept responsibility for how your craven, self-serving actions contributed to the deaths of four people yesterday. And how you fundraised off this riot," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Thursday.
"Both you and Senator Hawley must resign. If you do not, the Senate should move for your expulsion," she added.
Cruz responded to the congresswoman, defending his right to challenge Electoral College votes as a United States senator and assuring Democrats he wasn't going anywhere.
"You are a liar. Leading a debate in the Senate on ensuring election integrity is doing our jobs, and it’s in no way responsible for the despicable terrorists who attacked the Capitol yesterday," Cruz said in a tweet. "And sorry, I ain’t going anywhere. When you and your socialist buddies... try to massively raise taxes, when you try to pass the green new deal & destroy millions of jobs, when you push for amnesty, when you try to pack the Supreme Court w/ activists to undermine our Constitutional rights... I will fight that every step & stand with the People."
The Houston Chronicle is also exploiting the opportunity to call for the senator's resignation.
Democrats and the media will never accept blame for ginning up violent, murderous mobs for the better part of last year and then ignoring the violence. AOC defended those riots, saying the point of protesting is to "make ppl uncomfortable." Pelosi said "people will do what they do," and Maxine Waters claimed violent protests "make America better." Such hypocrites.
Cruz wants fair and honest elections. Democrats like AOC want to void the election results by canceling their opponents.
It’s shocking but not surprising how eager some Dems are to openly support political persecution of opponents for following the Constitution and laws that they don’t like. And of course they may get the award for the world’s greatest hypocrites.
I recall that Germany had a “cancel culture” between 8 January 1933 and 8 May 1945.
They canceled books and careers first. Then they canceled human beings.
Resignation first then arrest them or just having people disappear
Sorry, those dates were wrong. Should have been 30 January 1933 to 8 May 1945. 4481 days in all.
Resignation first then arrest them or just having people disappear

After a mob of mostly antifa and some dopes in over their head were escorted into the Capitol.
Jeez, even guys nominally on our side are falling for the spin.
I’m still waiting for the troika - Schiff, Pelosi and Nadler to resign for their sedition. Won’t happen, I know.

I remember one president where if you went up against him or his wife, you could end up dead. Airplane crashes were one of their ways. Ron Brown, Barbara Olson, Mel Carnahan, Paul Wellstone and others. I passenger jet went down today. I wonder if THAT was
a message.

Including Cruz, he called it terrorism.
“They canceled books and careers first. Then they canceled human beings.”
Yep, and America went and canceled the Nazis. Like the children they are, liberals always think they are invincible.
I am always against frauds.
Rafael Edward Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban father and was a Canadian citizen until 2014.
He is not a natural born citizen.
Then there were the private dinners at the White House with Sen and Mrs. Cruz.
And who do you think has given him the best advice on McConnell and SCOTUS? Yep, Ted Cruz.
So, I would say whatever their rough patch was it has long since healed.
They don’t like riotous behavior in the Capitol? Tell that to Justice Kavanaugh.
And, you were a rabid anti-Trumper. So, what’s your point, THEO?
Clinton who came to the Presidency from heading the Arkansas Crime syndicate with many already dead
I think one problem with the “rioters” is that they created a huge distraction from the protest against accepting the electors. I would rather have had a deep debate about the election irregularities than panicked reaction to “rioters.”
I’m thinking that’s why antifa infiltrated the MAGA crowds and pushed through initially. To distract from what the Congress was supposed to be doing. How can you debate rationally when you are terrified?
