<\/p>\nSome Republican Trump-fluffers seem to be impervious to shame. They persist in making preposterous statements that contrast profoundly with reality, even after their lies have been thoroughly debunked. And no one has a greater ability to cast off being publicly disgraced than Sen. Ted Cruz.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cruz, after all, is best known for abandoning his freezing constituents in Texas<\/a><\/strong> to take a vacation in sunny Cancun. More recently he was shot down in a blistering Twitter war<\/a><\/strong> with his congressional colleagues.<\/p>\n Undeterred, Cruz was interviewed Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation<\/em> by Margaret Brennan (video below)<\/em>. When the subject of Donald Trump inciting the January 6th insurrection in Washington, D.C. came up, Cruz sought to take a superficially rational stand against violence. “If you’re right-wing, left-wing, or have no ideology at all,”<\/em> Cruz began, “If you commit an act of violence, if you assault a police officer, if you’re violent against anyone, you should be prosecuted and go to jail.”<\/em><\/p>\n True to form, Cruz is merely mouthing what he believes is a politically correct stance against violence. And his talking points were utterly disingenuous and marred by insinuating that the violence on that day could have been committed by either right or left wingers. The truth is that, while the halls of congress were still stained with blood, Cruz made a plea to sweep the sedition under the rug<\/a><\/strong> and hold nobody accountable saying “We must come together and put this anger and division behind us.”<\/em><\/p>\n That is not exactly an appeal for justice to be served to the insurrectionists who stormed Congress and threatened its members, as well as injuring more than 140 police officers. But Cruz was just getting started. He followed up his anti-violence lecture with yet another endorsement of Trump’s “Big Lie”<\/em> that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged.”<\/em> Which led to the following exchange with Brennan.<\/p>\n Cruz:<\/strong> We right now have a substantial chunk of our country that has real doubts about the integrity of the election. And if we had had a credible electoral commission do an emergency audit, it would have enhanced faith in democracy. But instead Democrats and a lot of the press decided to just engage in incendiary rhetoric rather than acknowledge voter fraud is real, it is a problem, and the allegations of voter fraud needed to be examined on the merits. What Cruz purposefully fails to mention is that the “substantial chunk”<\/em> of Trump chumps who have delusional “doubts about the integrity of the election,”<\/em><\/a><\/strong> was created by liars like Cruz himself, with an assist from Fox News. But Cruz went on to pat himself on the back for lobbying for a bipartisan electoral commission to study the wholly fictitious allegations of voter fraud. Maybe he would also like to form a commission to study the flatness of the Earth, because a substantial chunk of Americans believe in that too.<\/p>\n Cruz’s suggestion that an audit would have calmed everyone’s post-election jitters was already proven to be bogus. When the Arizona fraudit by the rabidly partisan Cyber Ninjas was released showing that Biden did indeed win the election, Trump had a hissy fit<\/a><\/strong> and his cult followers pretended it didn’t exist.<\/p>\n It was Trump who continued to spew the “incendiary rhetoric”<\/em> that led to the January 6th insurrection. And contrary to his sudden interest in peace and bipartisan commissions, Cruz voted against<\/a><\/strong> the one that was proposed to study the Capitol Hill riots. So much for his claim that anyone who committed violence be prosecuted and jailed. That was just another falsehood on behalf of his Dear Leader.<\/p>\n NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
