Senator Ted Cruz deliberately and knowingly amplified specific lies fueling violent attackers. In doing so, he contributed to the carnage of Jan 6th. His actions since show that if given similar political opportunity, he would choose to do it again. He must resign. Texans agree.

You have no proof “Texans agree” with anything, this is an absolute garbage pollster.

Can we 14th Amendment Ted Cruz so he can never be President as a consequence for his sedition in spreading #TheBigLie? Also, where are all the Republicans who were obsessed with investigating Benghazi and why aren’t they demanding years of investigations into the Capitol attack?

Ted Cruz voted to overturn democracy on January 6 AFTER the violent failed Capitol Coup attempt. He is unfit to serve as a United States Senator.

10/10. The eight senators and 139 representatives who voted to overturn democracy own this attempted coup, forever. Led by Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, they are the fascist faction of the Republican Party.
