Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz is your typical "low information" Republican. On December 30, 2021, Cruz discovered that public dancing was prohibited in "WA" and decided to throw stones at the Democrats. Except the Democrats hold no offices in "WA," which is not Washington, but Western Australia. Cruz is yet another Republican who believes he does not need to be careful when he attacks Democrats - at least to get his facts straight first.

"Blue-state Dems are power-drunk authoritarian kill-joys. Washington State: NO DANCING ALLOWED!!! Any rational & free citizen: Piss off."

-- Ted Cruz, December 30, 2021 via Twitter

Quite often, Ted Cruz knows better and deliberately lies to create soundbites for future voters who will not recognize the lie. On April 22, 2021, there was a media event during which Republicans ranted and did theatrics to express opposition to President Joe Biden possibly expanding the size of the Supreme court. The immediately prior history was that Republicans blocked - for a YEAR - the appointment of a justice by Predident Barack Obama. They used the excuse that it was "too close to and election." In a complete reversal, the hypocrites RAMMED Amy Coney Barrett through confirmation at the very end of Donald Trump's term of office, "because it was the president's perogative." Cruz was on hand for all of of the Supreme Court games, but vehemently denied it for the cameras.

"You didn't see Republicans when we had control of the Senate try to rig the game. You didn't see us try to pack the court."
