TX-SEN: Colin Allred Cuts Laughing Ted Cruz Down To Size In Jan. 6 Jab: 'It's Not Funny'

[RandySF]

Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), a former NFL linebacker, sacked an attempt by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to dismiss his remarks about the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. (Watch the video below.)

In their debate for the Senate on Tuesday, Cruz said those who committed violence during the insurrection should be prosecuted and jailed, and that rioters who assaulted police should face particularly long sentences. He touted his endorsements by law enforcement organizations and said Allred voted in favor of “defunding the police.”

What Cruz failed to mention was that he backed denying Joe Biden’s rightful victory on that fateful day and continued to advance Donald Trump’s lies that the election was rigged while allegedly launching his own scheme to keep Trump in power.

“You can’t be for the mob on Jan. 6 and for the officers,” Allred replied. “You can’t.” Cruz laughed.

Allred glared at the incumbent and said: “And it’s not funny. Because you’re a threat to democracy.”

1. Seems as though the consensus is that Allred won that debate

I'm glad to hear that. Cruz is a really practiced piece of work and laid on the bullshit.
