‘With multiple investigations already underway, I do not support the politically motivated January 6 Commission led by Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi’
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement in opposition to the Senate commission investigating the January 6 terrorist attack on the Capitol:
"The January 6 terrorist attack on the Capitol was a dark moment in our nation's history, and I fully support the ongoing law enforcement investigations into anyone involved. Everyone who attacked the Capitol must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and brought to justice. I also support the Senate committees of jurisdiction who are exercising their proper oversight roles to provide an in-depth and complete account of the attack. With multiple investigations already underway, I do not support the politically motivated January 6 Commission led by Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi."
Since I'm sure Cruz's people will delete this at any moment, I've also provided a screenshot.
So, Ted Cruz thinks anyone involved in the protesting a stolen election should be investigated.
Ted is feeling the heat.
The January 6th protest was not an “insurrection,” and the participants were not “terrorists.”
We know the Dems were behind it. They are the terrorists.
Yeah, Ted has been caught and now is trying to dig himself out of a hole.
Won’t happen.
#TeddyisToast. That is all.
Maybe that picture with Fidel Castro really was his father??
That statement is entirely proper.
Put a fork in him, he’s done. Tucker’s epic gutting of cruz last nite was an awesome way to start of the new year! Buh bye ted, no one cares.
Damage control. Pretty weak.
Cruz now says his terrorist remarks were directed only against anyone who assaulted the police.
I suspect there were provocateurs, from the left and right.
You’re gonna need a bigger shovel, Ted.
Ted is right. Some were terrorists. You had that antifa guy with the horns and his shorter sidekick. Most of the visible ones are confirmed antifa.
What the hell is wrong with Cruz? For every good thing he does, he manages to come up with some epically stupid and dishonest take which makes me question where his principles and heart are. The Jan 6 protests turned riot were not a “terrorist attack”. There are even Democrats who don’t buy that. And yet, here Cruz is, issuing a public statement which endorses the narrative of the Left.
“Terrorists” are those that attack civilians for political motives.
Those persons who assaulted the police are mere criminals.
It was terrorism, who said we were the terrorists? It wasn’t Ted. ask the dead unarmed woman (vet)
Trump can always kick him upstairs to SCOTUS. A bit early. I always thought he’d be the best majority leader outside Paul.
His father has said he fought with Castro to oust Baptista.
Once in power Castro showed he was true commie.
Raul then started wirkung against Castro.
It can ve easily researched
“Cruz now says his terrorist remarks were directed only against anyone who assaulted the police.”
...and his statement about the young woman shot down is where?
