Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz slammed the rioters Tuesday who rifled through his papers in his desk on the Senate floor when the Capitol was breached on Jan.6.

“I think it was a terrorist attack on the Capitol, and it was despicable, and anyone who committed acts of violence should be fully prosecuted and should go jail for a long time,” Cruz told the Washington Examiner when asked about the young men who went through his desk.

Video shot by a New Yorker reporter showed a chaotic scene on the floor of the chamber, and two men dashed over to Cruz’s desk and flipped through his papers. He found Cruz's prepared remarks to talk about his objection to Arizona’s certification of its electoral votes.

“He was gonna sell us out all along — look! ‘Objection to counting the electoral votes of the state of Arizona.’” He added, “Oh, wait, that’s actually OK.”

I hope he’s saying this because he believes it was Antifa who did the dirty work.

Did (s)he trespass along with the crowd from outside or was (s)he already there lying in wait with a Democrat provided access pass?

Sounds like the reporter illegally entered Cruz’s office.

Were the 2 men loud enough to be heard from outside of the office?

Politicians are pretty brave when sending agents to destroy the lives of people miles away. Not so much when the people bite back.

What is he supposed to say? Thank you for rifling through my desk? It’s a tough spot they’re all in right now. We have to get through it until they create an opportunity.

Cruz is one of the more obviously slimy politicians. Remember when he spoke at the 2016 Convention, and hinted people should not vote for Trump? He cannot hide his true weasel-nature.

Congresspeople are the absolute scum of America. If the average American can have their cities burnt down and businesses smashed in while no one tries to stop the rioters than every politicians deserves 100x worse.

So long as there’s a stronger penalty for someone rifling through my desk at home as there is for doing so in a public building, I’m good with that Cruz...

Somehow I sincerely doubt that.

We've all had brain farts. Capturing our brain farts on video and then having the video used to send us to prison is not something we've all done, though.

Sorry, I had to laugh out loud at this. You have to find humor where you can nowadays...

Re: John Sullivan ("Insurgence USA")

The communist POS was posing as a Trump supporter while committing and encouraging acts of violence!

And he wasn't just some leftist, he was the FOUNDER and HEAD of a revolutionary-communist group called "Insurgence USA"!

"in Sullivan’s own videos, he can be heard enthusiastically egging on the saboteurs, at one point yelling, 'It’s our house, motherf—ers!'..."
--NY Post

"a criminal complaint states that he gave footage to the FBI that showed him shouting at rioters: “You guys are f--ing savage. Let’s go!”
Another clip shows him saying: “We gotta get this sh*t burned... it’s our house motherf--ers!”
--DailyBeast

I agree. There may be some folks walking things back and I feel like strategy wise that’s going to be Ok. We need them in these positions and it doesn’t do us any good if Pelosi et al get them thrown out.

[EBH]

OK we get it...seriously stop now. WE KNOW...go post this to the folks who don’t know.

When Cruz’s Presidential campaign was broke he hired Neil Bush of all people. I think that exposes him plenty. He’s controlled conservative opposition and no more.

Answer: words you would not associate with our political leaders.

I think (s)he meant his desk on the Senate floor.

[duckman]

Big deal. All they’ll find are some Moon Pies and Dr Pepper.

“ Congresspeople are the absolute scum of America.”

This.

They are the worst we have to offer. Sociopaths...and even quite a number of true psychopaths. No talent, no abilities other than obfuscation, diversion and embezzlement...the stuff of the Mafia. Except the Mafia have a far, far higher sense of morality than any American politician can even fathom.
