Ted Cruz's former staffers say they are 'disgusted' by his role in the US Capitol insurrection and

his unflinching support of Trump, report says

Republican 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."

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?"

Don’t just talk to reporters - if they have evidence the FBI is all ears.

Just one left. What does that say about the cravenness of his other staffers?
