Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was forced out of the D.C. restaurant Fiola on Monday night by protesters denouncing his friendship with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. An activist group posted a video on Twitter showing Cruz and his wife being chased out of the restaurant by protesters chanting We believe survivors! At one point, a man tells Cruz that Beto ORourke, the Democrat running against him in November, is way hotter than him. Another asks if he will confirm [his] best friend Brett Kavanaugh? Cruz then tells the loud crowd God bless you and asks them to let his wife through. In a separate clip, a woman claiming to be his constituent asks him how he will vote on Kavanaughs confirmation and if he believes survivors. Cruz responds, God bless you, maam. Protesters also gathered outside Cruzs Austin office earlier Monday to support Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, who have both accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

(24,688 posts)I wonder what they said at lunch...................because, if there was an FBI investigation you would think "he" would be called to answer some questions........................
Did Cruz mention that he knew this "guy" for twenty years when he threw soft ball questions to him.................I don't think so ............................
