Ted Cruz: 'Of course' Trump was wrong to call for terminating Constitution

By Matthew Choi, Texas Tribune
Published December 07, 2022

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz denounced former President Donald Trump for suggesting a “termination” of the Constitution in order to overturn the 2020 election, while also framing the comment as an over sensationalized distraction. The Texas Republican offered his remarks three days after Trump’s initial comment and after prodding from reporters.

“Oh listen, of course what he said was wrong,” Cruz told Nexstar on Tuesday. “But I also think the media is engaged in a feeding frenzy. I’ve never seen reporters so excited as to run up to every Republican and say, ‘Please, please, please attack Donald Trump.’”

Cruz, a self-identified constitutionalist who prides himself on having memorized the Constitution as a youth, made the comment after Trump called in a Truth Social post Saturday for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” in order to rehash the 2020 election.

Hey Cruz, did you or did you not vote to put Gorsuch on the bench when another one of your lackey buddies threw away Article II Section 2 on the advise and consent rule to just eviscerate the Constitution, did you or did you not say that the 2020 election should have been thrown out to undermine the Constitution and the will of the people , and were you not given the "opportunity" to have Impeached the asshole down in Mar A Lago twice, and are you not a lackey for the Federalist Society..... and were you not involved in the Gore v Bush BS....and finally what do you think of the what your handpicked court is doing on this issue see below, because it is related to the Bush V Gore situation that your were a part of in 2000 .... and then you come out with the gaslighting BS that trump was wrong in calling the for termination of the Constitution.....hell you have been doing for 25 years....your just like him........

You know, for someone who went to an Ivy League school Ted, you're about as dumb as a post. The former president of these here United States and America talks irresponsibly about terminating the Constitution, and your major worry is that people noticed it. You'll say it was wrong, but you won't attach that wrongness to your lord and savior Chee-toh Jesus.

What is it that turned you into such a crawling, sniveling, flat-on-his-belly, boot-licking coward? Did you actually have your spine removed, or just have it dissolved?
