Ted Cruz mocked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at CPAC after the congresswoman raised millions for Texas [View all]

Source: MSN

Senator Ted Cruz on Friday mocked New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has raised millions for his Texas constituents, for her response to the January 6 Capitol riots.

"We are gathered in dark times," Cruz told the crowd at the CPAC in Orlando on Friday.

Cruz's CPAC address was billed as a discussion of the "Bill of Rights, Liberty, and Cancel Culture." On stage, Cruz also took aim at Senator Bernie Sanders for wearing mittens to President Joe Biden's inauguration.

He said: "We're gathered at a time where the hard left, where the socialists control the levers of government, where they control the White House, where they control every executive branch, where they control both houses of Congress. Bernie is wearing mittens, and AOC is telling us she was murdered."
