Sen. Ted Cruz: January 6 Protests on Capitol Hill a ‘Violent Terrorist Attack’
Breitbart ^ | 6 Jan | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 01/06/2022 8:09:00 AM PST by RandFan

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.”

Anyone want to take a second look at Rand Paul for the big job? 😂

An attack that was engineered and carried out by the Deep State, DemocRAT Party and the Never Trump arm of the GOP Establishment with a great assist from the Communist controlled Media.

What the **** was all that sh*t when BLM was looting, burning and murdering all over America and had the honky politicians out painting black slogans on the roads about black supremacy?

Who got into Ted Cruz’s brain and replaced it with a late-model Marxist special?

In other words, what the hell has happened to this man?!

He’s wanting to run in 2024. He loves government.

If Cruz is running for president, he just lost my vote.

He was my first choice in 2016.

It is scary how Washington can force grown men to say things they know is wrong - or should know.

Ted Cruz just lost whatever chance he had to be president.

I recommend that everyone do their own search for “Jan 6 capitol damage” and then search again for “Summer 2020 riot damage” and just look at the photos for yourselves to compare.

You’ll see just how little damage was done to the capitol building and how much real damage was done by BLM/Antifa riots.

Dunno if his perennial campaign panhandling office can take me off their list now.

Going all Pence on us.....Liz has been obvious for a long time. Pence laid low until he needed to launch his killing strike.

I really don’t think this is a good idea. He should praise those who remained peaceful, like the guy in the goofy outfit, but condemn those who became violent.

I recommend that everyone do their own search for “Jan 6 capitol damage” and then search again for “Summer 2020 riot damage” and just look at the photos for yourselves to compare.

Moles have gotten to him, whispering in his ear telling him if he eliminates Trump, he could be the next President of the United States!

And with that, I went from being unsure about Cruz to being very sure that Cruz is a smarter version of Lindsey Graham.
