“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's “political persecution” of former President Donald Trump as “utter and complete crap.”
“The case from the Manhattan District Attorney, if they bring an indictment and charge him, is utter and complete crap…It is flimsy. It is weak,” Cruz said on his latest Verdict podcast episode. “It has been rejected by prosecutor after prosecutor after prosecutor. And it is obviously political retribution and a political persecution.
“[Bragg] hates Donald Trump. Now he has a right to hate Donald Trump. But he doesn't have a right to abuse and corrupt the justice system to persecute his political opponents. And that, sadly, is exactly what he's doing here,” the Texas senator continued.”

This country's legal system has been weaponized. Leaders must speak forcefully. Senator Rand Paul also did an excellent job today.
Agree, this is about Trump but it is much bigger than Trump and DeSantis had an opportunity to take it as seriously as I do when Leftist DA's an AG's use taxpayer funds to persecute political opponents. As you said, Cruz an Paul did a fine job and DeSantis failed. Which is too bad as I like him and would like to see him position himself for 2028.
