his unflinching support of Trump, report saysRepublican Sen. Ted Cruz's former staffers are "pretty disgusted" by the recent actions of their former boss, according to New York Magazine's Intelligencer.
At least six of Cruz's former aides have expressed their distaste at the senator's political stance in recent weeks, the magazine reported.
This behavior, which has included peddling election misinformation, leading the objection to the Electoral college certification, and sending out a fundraising email while a pro-Trump mob breached the Capitol, has left a soured impression of those who have previously worked for him.
One former aide told Intelligencer: "Most of Cruzworld is pretty disgusted."

Sounds like sour grades, after all, Ted's current staffers mostly seem OK with him. 🤡

Maybe putting "Prison" rather than "Ted Cruz Staffer" on the resume will help.

As they searched through papers, they told each other that Ted Cruz would want them to do it. And what was Ted doing at that minute? He was sending out fund-raising appeals. Why was Ted so sure he was safe?"
