Ted Cruz's Own Words Come Back To Bite Him On the Ass

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tried to revise history on Monday, but was busted by his own past comments.

As Fox News footage showed a peaceful protest in favor of abortion rights, Cruz slammed members of the crowd as “goons” and warned of “escalation.”

Then, he defended the right-wing mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021:

4. Missed the "bite him on the ass" part. This is the product he sells, and it doesn't hurt him at all.

Or anything else. He has learned to live with the cognitive dissonance. And he’ll keep getting elected. And even if he is defeated, he won’t leave the field. He and his ilkdon’t care. About anything except the limelight. And he’ll say and do anything to keep in front of the cameras. And the media will oblige him and his fellow travelers. Disgrace and shame are not in their vocabulary.
