Ted Cruz Gets Shut Down On CBS For Indulging Voter Fraud Lies

There was no evidence of widespread fraud. "You know that," Margaret Brennan told the senator.

"SNIP......

“I absolutely condemned acts of violence,” he said of the insurrection. But he went on to say that if his coalition of 11 Senate Republicans who voted against certifying the results had been successful in launching a vote audit, it “would have been much better for our democracy.”

“Because we right now have a substantial chunk of our country that has real doubts about the integrity of the election,” he said, attacking Democrats and the media for refusing to acknowledge those doubts — which largely only exist because he and other Republicans have stoked them.

“OK, senator. There is no evidence of fraud that would have really drawn the outcome of the election into doubt. You know that,” Brennan noted before going on to ask Cruz about the 2024 presidential race.

“Voter fraud has been persistent from the very first election that has ever occurred,” Cruz interrupted her.

1. Shut Down?

So she made a 1 sentence response, and then just moved on?

HOW ABOUT SOMEONE ACTUALLY CONFRONTS THESE ASSHOLES?

THIS is why I'm not going to waste 1 second watching an interview with this POS.

Until the MSM clearly attacks them for being LYING SACKS OF EXCREMENT, and gets to the heart of the matter, they're going to continue acting like they do, And Getting Away With It!

2. They MSM is getting there. I recall Jake Tapper taking on Stephen

Miller or Anderson Cooper with some blowhard or 10. Then it is always good to remember where we came from:

3. If only he could be kicked out of congress, or to Canada, Cuba or Cancun

4. he is too too dishonest

5. This will have to do for now.......

But (I hope) by Christmas, I hope to have a big present for the Texas Democrats. I will post it here when it's done!

6. Somebody please ask him if he cheated to win his election? All elections have voter fraud?

[Marcuse]

11. Trump said Cruz cheated.

[Walleye]

12. I forgot that. What is wrong with these interviewers

We can think up better questions to ask these people. TV journalists make a lot of money. Are they lazy, are they corrupt, are they restricted by their bosses. I think their job would be a lot more fun for them if they would ask tough questions.

7. I can't see how people like this keep getting re-elected

I’m not from Texas but these assholes are everywhere. All I can think (other than cheating) is rethug voters must be like their candidates; party above all. My oldest brother is like that. He hated TFG but said he just didn’t think he could vote for a dem at last election. I didn’t ask him how he ended up voting, it would make me sick to my stomach if he did vote for TFG.

10. Gerrymandering.

At least for state elections. As a life-long Texan (Mrs TxGuitar) I do not underestimate the power of the surname Cruz. He plays heavily on his non-existent Hispanic heritage.

13. Say what?

Gerrymandering has no effect on statewide elections, like those for Senator and Governor.

9. Not actually what happened. She didn't "Shut Cruz Down"

He interrupts her attempt to shut him down, but he's allowed to interrupt that attempt and continue with his big lie, having the last word.

This is classic Click Bate. I'm hungry for the real thing, but not desperate to read the opposite.
