Sen. Ted Cruz, a traitor, defends Republican attempts to nullify the election
Sen. Ted Cruz, a traitor to his oath and country, knows that his pushed-for proposal to delay Senate confirmation of Joe Biden as next president so that a muddy-premised investigation of "fraud" can be hurried through is nonsensical. Cruz is, by all accounts, an intelligent enough lawyer to understand that the law and Constitution provides no mechanism to do what he is pretending to ask for. Cruz has gotten a near-dozen of fellow senators contemptuous of democracy to sign on to a demand that cannot be fulfilled, but will further promote the utterly fraudulent notion that Donald Trump only lost reelection because of fraud nobody in the nation has been able to identify, Trump's own lawyers are unable to give evidence for or even are willing to coherently explain, and is both utterly invisible and so large a conspiracy as to have, allegedly, overthrown the head of government.
Trump has claimed "fraud" in every lost contest of his life, whether it be television ratings, contracts he wished to skip out on, awards, and so forth. He is a malignant narcissist swimming in a sea of his own delusions. He is, literally, delusional. Ted Cruz, however, knows that he is asking that his party undertake a coup based on fraudulent propaganda and fever-dream hoaxes. He knows it, and is promoting the hoaxes to further his own ambitions. He is advocating that an election be nullified so that his own party can retain power regardless of the voters' choice. It is only that.
Cruz was unwilling to defend his indefensible position to anyone but the most aggressive of Fox News' own fascist voices, a perch from which he again stoked false theories that are fomenting far-right violencefor his own gain. As with all Republican objectors to the election results, he offered no evidence, only useful delusions.
He also mewed that everyone objecting to his transparently fascist tactics should "calm down." He has been called a traitor and a seditionist, and he believes such talk is "throwing lit matches" into a tinder box. But he is plainly advocating sedition, and can therefore go to hell. More to the point, he has so plainly violated his own oath of office, in promoting conspiracies to advocate for an extra-legal, extra-Constitutional false remedy, that he should be impeached and removed from that office. His actions are unforgivable.
