Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Josh Hawley Missouri pushed former-President Trump's big lie that he actually won the election.

In fact, even after the Capitol insurrection, the pair still voted to challenge the counting of the electoral college's votes in multiple states.


However, this didn't stop Ted Cruz from criticizing former-President Trump for putting forward the very same 'big lie' Cruz himself supported and amplified.

In an appearance on his podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz, he stated:

"President Trump's rhetoric, I think, went way too far over the line. I think it was both reckless and irresponsible. Because he said over and over again he won by a landslide; there was massive fraud; it was all stolen everywhere."
"The campaign did not prove that in any court. And to make a determination about an election, it has to be based on the evidence and so simply saying the result you want: that's not responsible and you've never heard me use language like that."

A video of the full podcast can be seen here:

 People quickly pointed out Cruz's hypocrisy.



Meanwhile, Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York was busy trying to hold Cruz accountable for his part in the deadly capitol insurrection.

Many agreed with AOC that Cruz should face consequences for egging on the rioters.




Whether or not Cruz faces any consequences remains to be seen.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
