To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. As someone who has viewed Senator Ted Cruz as one of the “good guys” on Capitol Hill, hearing him say the January 6 mostly peaceful protest was a “violent terrorist attack on the Capitol” feels like the worst type of betrayal. I know why he said it and I’ll explain below, but here’s the report of what he said according to American Greatness:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) shocked many conservatives on Wednesday when he echoed the left’s overwrought January 6 messaging during a Senate Rules Committee hearing, referring to the riot as a “violent terrorist attack on the Capitol,” and offering full-throated support for the Capitol Police, some of whose actions led to the deaths of multiple unarmed Trump supporters. Cruz thanked the police for “defending” the U.S. Capitol and said those who assaulted law enforcement officers should be prosecuted.
“We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week,” Cruz said. “And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol.”
“My view is that anyone who commits an act of violence should be prosecuted,” Cruz said during Senate testimony from Capitol Police chief Wednesday. “And anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer should go to jail for a very long time. And I think that’s a principle that is true regardless of the politics of the violent criminal, whether they are right-wing, left-wing or they got no wings at all.”
Cruz asked Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger what could have been done differently to prevent the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
“As we reflect on what happened a year ago, it is also worth asking as we have as this committee has as this Congress has, I know you have—what could have been done differently? What could have prevented the breach of the Capitol, what could have prevented the riot getting as far as it did?”
Manger blamed the breach on “clearly documented intelligence failures” and “leadership failures with the Capitol Police Department.”
Now, let’s discuss WHY he said it. He’s running in 2024. I know he’s been a bit aloof about it, as he has to be this early in the game, but he’s running. He’ll be running if Donald Trump runs. He’ll be running if Ron DeSantis runs. He’ll be running if Mike Pence runs. And the only way he has any chance of defeating either of the two populists or the RINO is if he gets the power of the Republican Establishment behind him.
That means changing his various tunes to suit milquetoast Republicans with lots of money. It means distancing himself from Trump and the MAGA movement by siding with Democrats on the false January 6 “insurrection” narrative.
I don’t know this based on anything others have said. I know this because I’ve followed Cruz since before he was a 2016 presidential candidate. His decision-making is precise and his strategies are transparent, albeit brilliant at times. But perhaps more than anything else I know that this is all part of a 2024 strategy because the alternative is unfathomable. That alternative would be that he actually believes the protests and false-flag, Deep State-inspired entry into the Capitol on January 6, 2021 was a terrorist attack. If he thinks that, then everything I’ve ever thought about him before was based on lies.
Ted Cruz made statements about January 6 that were ludicrous prima facie. Saying it was a terrorist attack despite the mountains of evidence proving otherwise means that he’s gone to the dark side for the sake of political expediency.

Not Surprised!, he’s just following the Politician’s handbook.
If true he a backstabbing puck.

I had luck to stumble upon something that totally changed my life. After 2 months of searching, last month I received a paycheck for $15376 for just working on the laptop for a few hours weekly. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it copy below web…

I have said for many years, and I will continue to say it and be vindicated by him every time .. Ted Cruz is a piece of garbage. So many “conservatives” keep being conned by that guy. Stop it!! .. He’s crap!
It is true, I watched him say it. And I have been telling folks that claim to be “conservative” that he’s a piece of garbage. He’s just as bad as the CommieKrats .. he continues to fool voters and then turns around and stabs in the back. Just look at his record. He has been doing the same formula the CommieKrats do, and he’s been doing it for decades now. Real conservatives need to get a clue and quit voting for the piece of trash.

This is why I have never liked or trusted Cruz he is a rinos swamp rat he just has not gone into the deep end yet and still swims in the shallows. Not by choice he wants to go deep.
Lyin’ Ted, I hardly knew ye.
Like Trey Gaudy. All talk, no action then stabs et tu Brute
Bye bye to my support of you Cruz.
How can a Senator that has been making all the right moves, in one day shove his head up his rectum and call that minor riot at the DC capital a major terrorist attack? Either a very stupid man or he is just on in the same type of traitor as the rest of those punks in D.C.
Same here. He’s nothing but a bloviating lazy ass RINO who doesn’t even deserve his senate seat. He is committed only to himself, and has never and will never stand for the People.
Cruz is a barking dog with no teeth.
He barks up a good argument something, but, has not teeth when it’s time to bite.
He is stuck in the D.C. bubble.
The forest looks different from 2 miles away.
Spineless SOAB, proof why government can not be trusted!
Always knew he was a phony. GOP RINO and POS!
Cruz is a Lawyer
Senate has 157 Lawyers and the ones that are Republican, almost all are RINO’s
Do not vote for anyone with a Law Degree

There is nothing that angers me more, then when someone advocates a more severe treatment for people harming a cop…… than for harming my daughter, your son…………..a parade of old ladies and children, none of whom volunteered to do a job that has inherent risks.
Kill a cop, do life!!!……….. murder someones child or grandma and you could be running the streets in 2 days
Ted Cruz is too controversial. He comes off as a megalomaniac, out for himself. He’d do or say anything to further his “career” in the Swamp.
The “Establishment” would have to be dumb to get behind Cruz. He’s “done”. Conservative Republicans will not vote for him. Marxist Democrats won’t vote for him. Why waste millions on Cruz? Ronald Reagan used to say, “we need to run the most conservative candidate we have, WHO CAN WIN.”
Now; if we could only upload a picture of Nelson Muntz and the sound of his laugh as he points at all the naive political believers on the “fake conservative” sites littering the netscape. Those places full of the “red team vs. blue team” types out there who never seem to realize that the establishment is full of public actors who all serve the same circles of elite. Very few actually represent the people and even fewer protect the constitution. Cruz has never been one of them.
Cruz has destroyed his political aspirations to a higher office. He kissed Trump’s ass while Trump was in office… the day Trump left, Cruz turned on him and continues to do so. He’s the definition of scum.
Go to hell cruz. You’ve been added to my sign-off banner. FJB/FKH/FTC
RINO CYA, playing to NEVER-TRUMPER’S…plain & simple. He knows they are the ONLY supporters he can possibly get, especially now.
I’m not going to say “I told you so.” because I know people are upset. They should be, but it’s good to know who he REALLY is.
Interesting sidebar: Have you noticed how few conservative websites are covering his comments?
Know your RINO’s and those who support them.
Ted just joined rino club. We are misrepresented again. Third party needed. No one advocating for conservatives. No VOTE all RINOs
Hmmmm……Cruz is always troubling. I believe he just secured the non-nomination for President 2024. I don’t care how he tries to explain this away using legal blah blah blah. He is toast.
Cruz made his last mistake. He needs to be replaced in the Senate.
TRUMP 2024
He won’t be running anywhere now with those comments!’
You’re not kidding!! Not sure what he was thinking.
What an idiot remark in his behalf!!
Good grief; is there ANY Republican who is a true republican anymore?!?!? Or are they all RINOS like this guy, Grahman etc.?
What a coward. Most of the gop are becoming as useless as the kid diddlin left wingers. Both parties are corrupt and their members deserve public executions.
There went Cruz’s presidential ambitions.

Lets see, Niki Haley… then Liz the warmonger and now SCOTUS in waiting Ted… Ted your time has come and now has gone… Ted got covid bubble in the brain and he just couldn’t resist the temptation to be liked… Ted you can’t be right and liked, you have to choose …. sadly you chose poorly.
Senator Ted Cruz is trashing President Trump now because………..little Ted wants to be President in 2024. Won’t work Ted……….Period ! MAGA 2024 and by the way……….you are just another back stabber just like Liz Cheney.
I recall watching Cruz giving an impassioned speech – don’t recall the venue – but it felt flat, forced, insincere maybe, idk, but it left me unmoved. And now I think I have my answer – bc he’s a fake. So, this is both revealing, and a huge disappointment and loss. At a time when the country – the people – needs true patriots, LEADERS, Cruz, is found wanting. I believe we can safely expect two things from this. One, that Cruz will soon backtrack, or attempt to reframe what he said. And two, his popularity will drop like a rock. He might still have a political future, but if he keeps singing this tune from the dem and RINO hymnal, he can kiss it goodbye.
Well, Ted just shot himself in the foot, all he had to do is wait 4 or maybe 8 years and he could have been president. Now he will be remembered as a RINO and his home state will remove him from political office. The people will turn on him and it looks like they have already have.
