And part of their plan included bringing on Sen. Ted Cruz to fabricate a phony chronicle of events. Cruz, of course, complied by spinning this utterly fictional account&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think there\u2019s a real risk of violence. We\u2019ve seen multiple Democrats now, including Maxine Waters, before that Chuck Schumer, before that the Biden White House, effectively encouraging violence.

Certainly no Democrats were doing anything that could be characterized as <em>&#8220;encouraging violence.&#8221;<\/em> Cruz&#8217;s comments were all out of context references from months or years ago. For instance, Chuck Schumer, reacting to a Court hearing on an abortion case, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/congress\/schumer-denies-threatening-supreme-court-justices-says-i-shouldn-t-n1150446\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said in March of 2020<\/a><\/strong> that Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh <em>&#8220;have released the whirlwind and will pay the price.&#8221;<\/em> That was more than two years ago. And Schumer even acknowledged at the time that <em>&#8220;I shouldn&#8217;t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat. [&#8230;] My point was there would be political consequences.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That concession was something that you would never hear from the Republicans fomenting violence, such as what occurred during the insurrection on January 6, 2021. But Cruz dredged up this old remark specifically to defame the pro-choice movement.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz was joined in this campaign by Tucker Carlson who, following the Roe decision, said on his program that <em>&#8220;Today you saw several elected members of Congress call for insurrection.&#8221;<\/em> No, actually, no one saw that. But Carlson&#8217;s canard is reminiscent of his preposterous assertion that Stephen Colbert had engaged in insurrection when some of his staff performed a comedy routine in Washington.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53415\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stephen Colbert Hysterically Mocks Tucker Carlson\u2019s \u2018Comedy\u2019 on the Arrest of His Staff in D.C.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since the ruling was announced, the manufactured narrative from the ultra-MAGA politicians and pundits that pro-choice activists are engaging in an <em>&#8220;insurrection&#8221;<\/em> has just become more intense and bizarre.
