Colin Allred’s quote:
“You can’t be for the mob on January 6 and for the officers. You can’t. I was on the House floor when we went through the votes. I remember when you objected to the results in Arizona. Y’all at home might remember where you were on January 6, what you were doing. I know where I was, and I know where he was. I remember when they told us to reach under our seats for these gas masks I didn’t know we had because they had deployed tear gas in the rotunda. The officers locked all the doors, we barred the doors… And I texted my wife Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our son Cameron and at home with our son Jordan who wasn’t yet two, “Whatever happens, I love you.” I took off my suit jacket, and I was prepared to defend the House floor from the mob. At the same time, after he’d gone around the country lying about the election, after he’d been the architect of the attempt to overthrow an election, when that mob came, Senator Cruz was hiding in a supply closet."
You’ll find a picture of Ted Cruz’s face in the dictionary right next to the definition of Smarmy Fuck.
I do not like that man Ted Cruz
I do not like his far-right views
I do not like his stupid chin
I do not like his smarmy grin
smarmy fuck
That’s reserved for another (full-Canadian) career politician bent on ruining this country instead. And he could get in.
Nothing will make me happier than to see that smug cunt Cruz booted out of the senate.
Actually, that is not true. Ken Paxton in federal prison would make me happier.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. He won his primary by more votes than Trump did this year. Cruz is intensely popular in the televangelical wing of the party and firmly entrenched in the state. Meanwhile, Allred still has middling name recognition and lackluster enthusiasm.
My post was deleted earlier (improperly linked the debate livestream), but I think that Allred held up really well and got Cruz so mad he was yelling at parts, which in contrast Allred hadn’t shown much anger until the very end where Cruz started to try and twist Allreds words before their closing statements. My worry was that there would be a few answers like the economic plans or the ongoing conflicts in Israel that could have been a point where Allred could be weak in, but instead it was reassuring that he was able to tie it in to his overall message for Texans to fire Cruz by showing himself as competent and able to view problems as a bigger picture instead of freaking out about transgender sports.
Cruz was such a shitshow. “I don’t have to answer because I’m not part of the state legislature”. We know exactly what that means you fucking coward. Brave Sir Rafael ran away.
This should be his theme song

Why did this get your comment deleted? This is Lemmy, not fucking reddit; why the fuck are we removing comments for shit like linking to a offsite livestream??
I do not like that boy Ted Cruz
I do not like how he eats his poos.
I do not like his beady eyes
I do not like his bald face lies.
That boy Ted Cruz does make me sick
That boy Ted Cruz can eat a dick.
Hiding in a supply closet. I have no idea if that is true but it sure sounds like something Ted Cruz would do.
I mean to be fair so would I. But then I wouldn’t turn around and defend the fuckers that had me hiding
