Wonkette: Well This Was Mortifying Even For Ted Cruz




https://www.wonkette.com/after-slurring-brave-jan-6-terrorists-ted-cruz-visits-tucker-carlson-rolls-over-widdles-on-self

As Yr Wonkette let you know yesterday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), normally a beloved Trump CHUD, very rudely and possibly illegally referred to the nice tourists who visited the US Capitol last January 6 as "terrorists." This really upset the patriotic Trumpenvolk, led by Tucker Carlson, because the January 6 rioters were fellow patriots who simply wanted to ask questions of their elected leaders, using stun guns, stolen police shields and batons, the business end of the odd flagpole, and a hastily constructed gallows. (They were pointed questions, like "Nan-ceeee, where arrrrre you?&quot

So last night on State Television, Cruz performed his mandatory Self-Criticism with Commissar for Culture War Tucker Carlson, to abase himself before the base and admit his nigh-traitorous wrongthink. It was the sort of spectacle that may someday become more common for those who besmirch the good name of Trump the Great And Merciful. As the purification of America continues, future such apologies may be followed by execution, complete with a bill to the wayward pol's PAC for the cost of the bullet.

Carlson repeatedly told Cruz he didn't believe Cruz's lame excuses for insulting the brave Trumpshirts, so to prove his loyalty, Cruz went ahead and posted the clip of his ritual shaming to his Own Damn YouTube Channel.

Let's watch the tape. Roll 212!

Cruz should have used that as an excuse to avoid being forced to thoroughly debase himself. From now on Ted will use Tucker's latest catchphrase to describe these traitors, nazis and racists: "Legacy Americans."

Then Cruz bared his throat to Carlson to show he would submit, and Carlson graciously showed his teeth, sniffed Cruz's ass, nipped at his ear, and thanked him for coming, the end.

I was under the impression Tucker thought this was an FBI false flag. Why would he be upset with the terrorism label?
