How Ted Cruz explains his massive flip-flop on Donald Trump (CNN)

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump suggested without evidence that Cruz's father had something to do with the assassination of John F. Kennedy and ...

“I had a job to do and I had a responsibility,” he explained. To his credit, Cruz has made no secret of his desire to run for president again – maybe as soon as 2024. That’s not to say Cruz didn’t also believe that finding ways to work with Trump was a good thing for his constituents. But, the driving force behind Cruz’s decision to scrape his way back into Trump’s good graces was his own political ambition. (So I guess that makes it OK?) “We went after each other, and at the end of the day, he won. “In 2016, we had a primary where Donald Trump and I beat the living crap out of each other,” Cruz said, claiming that his wife laughed at Trump’s attacks.

Ted Cruz refuses to say if President Joe Biden was legitimately elected (Texas Tribune)

On the show, the Texas Republican repeatedly redirected attention to Democrats who had previously bemoaned their own electoral losses.

The TV appearance also included drama from the audience when a group of climate activists began chanting about the need to address climate change. “We had a primary where Donald Trump and I beat the living crap out of each other,” Cruz said. “I could have decided my feelings are hurt, I’m going to take the ball and go home and not do my job. Cruz has since continued to defend his actions that day, saying he’d called for a 10-day emergency audit on the election results that would have wrapped up before Inauguration Day.

Ted Cruz took refuge in supply closet during January 6 riot, book ... (The Guardian)

Texas senator wrote he 'vehemently disagreed' with colleagues' call to allow certification of 2020 election.

In a series of televised hearings this year, a bipartisan US House committee has publicly aired evidence seeking to establish that Trump had a direct role in the Capitol attack. Cruz said he was met with hot tempers after he and his fellow senators were led to a secure location, with some blaming him and his allies in the chamber “explicitly for the violence that was occurring”. I urged my colleagues that the course of action we were advocating was the right and principled one.” Officials have since linked nine deaths, including suicides among traumatized law enforcement officers, to the Capitol attack. The book – titled Justice Corrupted – recounts how Cruz was listening to his colleague James Lankford of Oklahoma speak in the Senate chamber when a terrible commotion erupted outside. “At first, Capitol Police instructed us to remain on the Senate floor.

Ted Cruz promoted his new book on ABC's The View, where he took fire for trying to help Donald Trump overturn the election.

Hours later on Fox News, he called the show “a bit of a circus” but said conservatives shouldn’t be “just preaching to the choir. [Viral tweets showed Yankees fans flipping him the bird](https://news.yahoo.com/ted-cruz-seen-getting-booed-121944622.html) and shouting abuse, calling him a “racist piece of s---” and urging him to “Go back to Cancun!” a reference to his brief getaway when a winter storm knocked out power for millions of Texans last year.

Yeah, Ted Cruz's book doesn't show any voter fraud (The Washington Post)

It does, however, cast Ted Cruz as the stymied savior of the post-election period, the man that could have fixed it all.

True the Vote is the organization that purports to have analyzed geolocation data showing an organized effort to collect and submit ballots in drop boxes — a claim that is at the heart of Dinesh D’Souza’s film “2000 Mules.” The organization has been called out His latest movie and book, 2000 Mules, is a powerful exposé of voter fraud in 2020, exposing ballot harvesters caught on camera stuffing drop boxes with handfuls of ballots in the middle of the night.” The then-chief justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court [wrote](https://www.law360.com/articles/1332731/pa-justices-sink-suit-seeking-to-toss-all-pa-mail-in-votes) that there had been “too much good-faith reliance” on the method to vote in 2020 for those votes to be discounted even if the 2019 law violated the state’s Constitution (which the Supreme Court later [determined it didn’t](https://www.npr.org/2022/08/02/1099806224/pennsylvania-act-77-supreme-court-decision-mail-in-voting-lawsuit)). But Engelbrecht is a Texan, and Cruz presents her as the eternal victim of left-wing machinations — even as he mostly elevates her group’s purportedly earthshaking claims to asides like noting that there were “multiple reports of fraudulent ballots being dropped in the dark of night.” More UFOs flitting away before we can get out our cameras. Mail ballots are “one of the surest ways to ensure more voter fraud, according to Jimmy Carter and James Baker,” Cruz writes, citing a 2005 report that was widely misrepresented in 2020 as it is here. It’s always 2020 “might have been the most fraud-ridden election in the history of the United States” this and “no one would ever find out whether there had been serious fraud that tipped the election in one direction or the other” that. By any measure, the claims of people seeing UFOS exceed any in our lifetimes.” See how that works? Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) in early 2021, Cruz invented a way to object to the results of the election while maintaining plausible deniability that he was doing so. “And so I take the reader through the events of the 2020 [election](https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/?itid=lk_inline_manual_4) leading up to Jan. He’s more than willing to warm over a wide array of right-wing boogeymen from the days of yore — both ACORN and the New Black Panther Party make appearances — but he generally constrains his claims about fraud in ways that leave him an escape hatch back to reality. If only everyone in November 2020 had the benefit of their hindsight, a hindsight that is near-perfect!
