Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) lost one of his top staffers this week -- and it's reportedly because she is uncomfortable with the way he stoked the pro-Trump mob that swarmed the U.S. Capitol building last week.

Punchbowl News reports that Cruz communications director Lauren Blair Bianchi resigned this week, just days after deadly riots shook the Capitol and left five people dead.

One source tells the publication that Cruz's failed attempt to block the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's victory played a key role in her decision to leave.

"Since the election it was becoming clear things were moving in a direction that she was not comfortable with and that culminated with last week's tragedy at the Capitol," the source said.

1. Run, don't walk!

These Representives in Government, police officers, DOD, vets or active military, and citizens rich and poor should be treated like the terrorist they are.

Accountability for all.

2. Off-topic, I know it's really important to point out

the consequences in human lifes lost but it feels a bit strange that the one fighting the insurrection is made part of the group of terrorists. He died because they murdered him. One of them, the right's new hero, had to be shot due to security concern for members of the Government.
I just think one usually doesn't group terrorists and victims together.

5. Good observations. This confusion works to our benefit, but you are correct.

The two law officers are the lives I think most law-abiding citizens are grieving.

It is strange, as you say, to lump them together.

3. Or maybe her career would be over with disgraced Cruz on her resume

He's always been a sh*t of course she's known that.

4. Looks like it took her a week to figure that out.
