At CPAC, Cruz and Hawley remain defiant about Capitol riot
WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri took to the stage today at the Conservative Political Action Conference and gave what amounted to their most extensive public remarks since Jan. 6, when both were seen by critics as having helped incite a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
Cruz spoke on Friday morning, while Hawley addressed the audience in a less enviable afternoon spot. As they have in appearances on Fox News and other outlets in recent weeks, they cast themselves as victims of Democratic “cancel culture” — an ill-defined concept that encompasses social and corporate disapproval — while taking no responsibility for inciting the white supremacists and other supporters of former President Donald Trump who stormed the Capitol in hopes of keeping Joe Biden from assuming the Oval Office.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Hawley said, justifying his objection to the election’s results in Pennsylvania, which slowed what was to have been a routine certification process. “I thought it was an important stand to take.”
Though he had been making similar defenses since Jan. 6, Friday represented for both Cruz and Hawley a chance to speak in Trump’s backyard to some of Trump’s most loyal supporters. Though the crowd was smaller and less boisterous than in past years, it was seemingly uniform in its support of the 45th president, so much so that some attendees wheeled a golden statue of Trump into the conference hall.
