Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) claimed Wednesday the January 6 protest of the 2020 election on Capitol Hill last year was a “violent terrorist attack.”
“We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week. And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol, where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives for the Capitol,” Cruz said.
The Texas senator discussed the protests in an exchange with Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger during a Senate Rules Committee oversight hearing.
Cruz has defined the violent protests on Capitol Hill as terrorism before.
Just days after the 2021 protests, Cruz said, “We saw a terrorist attack on the United States Capitol. It was despicable. It was an assault on the citadel of democracy.”

How does this lie help him politically?
What a stupid and weak jerk.
The Cubanadian was given no quarter. Cruz’s excuses were ridiculous. He said what he said on purpose and it was despicable.
I have to wonder why he went on Tucker. He should have known he was going to get a brutal spanking.
>>Why is Cruz lying? J6 was no where near a “terrorist” attack.<<
I’ve always trusted Ted Cruz and still support him. He has done a great job for Texas.
That said, he went on Tucker Carlson tonight and Tucker flamed his @$$ but good. I believe Ted when he says he screwed up using those words and I believe his explanation.
Not many will endure what Tucker gave him tonight. I mean it was brilliant how Tucker held Ted’s feet to the fire.
Great piece. You can watch the playback on Citizen Free Press. It’s really worth it. lol
“Anyone want to take a second look at Rand Paul for the big job?”
No thanks. I’ll stick with the only non-politician in the game - Trump.
They must have sent Luca Brazi to see him.
“What the hell has happened to [Cruz]?!”
Nothing happened to him. He’s the same Cruz he’s always been. Remember his insinuations that Trump was promoting violence at his rallies during the primaries? Remember how he gave a speech at the convention and refused to endorse the party nominee? Cruz puts career above all else. His supposed principles are all an act.
Nah. Cruz doesn’t need an excuse to betray the base.
Remember how he was pro-amnesty, before he was against it?

Look who his VP pick was. That pretty much said it all.
That’s not the point. Cruz saying that helps them smear all Republicans with being terrorists and insurrectionists.
I am not good at quoting what I am replying to. So take this as a comment on the Democrats killing themselves...
I agree that the Dems are doing everything they can with a very slim majority, but as is usually the case, that means that as they do things, things go wrong. Tell me what they did that has worked. I have not seen anything. For the most part, when the Dems get their way, they make things worse. You are correct that the election is still to far in the future to really know what is going to happen.
Asshole.
