As someone who has viewed Senator Ted Cruz as one of the "Good guys" on Capitol Hill, hearing him say the January 6 mostly peaceful protest was a "Violent terrorist attack on the Capitol" feels like the worst type of betrayal.
Sen. Ted Cruz shocked many conservatives on Wednesday when he echoed the left's overwrought January 6 messaging during a Senate Rules Committee hearing, referring to the riot as a "Violent terrorist attack on the Capitol," and offering full-throated support for the Capitol Police, some of whose actions led to the deaths of multiple unarmed Trump supporters.
Cruz thanked the police for "Defending" the U.S. Capitol and said those who assaulted law enforcement officers should be prosecuted.
"My view is that anyone who commits an act of violence should be prosecuted," Cruz said during Senate testimony from Capitol Police chief Wednesday.
Cruz asked Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger what could have been done differently to prevent the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Manger blamed the breach on "Clearly documented intelligence failures" and "Leadership failures with the Capitol Police Department."
Ted Cruz made statements about January 6 that were ludicrous prima facie.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
