Ted Cruz says the search violated "... a tradition of the peaceful transfer of power."

Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) argument against the FBI searching Mar-a-Lago and seizing classified documents is truly mind-blowing:

“We’re a country that has a tradition of the peaceful transfer of power.”

Ted, haul your fat ass back to Cancun and do not say one more fucking word about the tradition of the peaceful transfer of power.

Is this purely political? Ted's hoping to capitalize on MAGA outrage for votes.

Or

Is this personal? Ted has some secret that is so heinous he must fight in support of Trump in outrageous ways to keep it hidden. Whether that's the fact he's involved in Trump's crimes or if Trump has some type of kompromat over him, it doesn't matter.

At some point, Trump is going to become so toxic that these leeches will be forced to rectify the stances they are taking now with civilized society.

just so happens a bunch of FBI agents had some time off and decided to take a little tour of Mar-a-lardough. Completely peaceful and voluntary!

How is the guy who stole secret documents to keep them from his successor for over a year not the one to blame for not following rules on "transfer of power"? Like at least try to follow logic and not spill BS.

Obviously not the attempt to block peaceful transfer of power on January 6th.

It's the theft of national security secrets that violates a peaceful transition and then some. Crux, you are so devoid of any sense of right and wrong. Delete yourself.

Water UNDER the bridge.... and performing espionage on your way out the door of the White House does NOT go toward a peaceful transfer of power BTW.

Just in case your level of stupid can't grasp basic facts, Cruz.

With some Republican-style January 6th style "peaceful" on his own doorstep, he might seek a re-definition VERY quickly.

"Hey, Ted? There are six hundred guys at the door with guns and baseball bats."

"What? Why? What do they want?"

"They say they are here to peacefully discuss transferring power with you."
