History will forever remember the day of January 6, 2021 as the day a mob of pro-Trump extremists stormed the United States Capitol, fueled by then-President Donald Trump's constant lies about the 2020 election, in a deadly failed insurrection.

The intent of the rioters was to upend the joint session of Congress that nationally certified now-President Joe Biden's victory. In addition to Trump's weeks-long calls for his supporters to come to the Capitol that day, he once again urged them at a rally minutes before the insurrection to march to the Capitol and fight for him.

In addition to this, Trump urged his Republican supporters in the Senate to object to certified electoral votes of swing states that he lost.

Both before and immediately after the deadly riots at the Capitol, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) carried out these requests, objecting to the electoral votes of multiple states.

In the weeks since the riots, he's dismissed the idea that Trump incited the riots and he's urged the country to move on.

But in the 2016 campaign, when Cruz and Trump were among the last standing in a bitter primary for the Republican presidential nomination, Cruz warned far-right pundit Glenn Beck that Trump frequently incited violence.

Watch below.

Cruz said:

"I am very troubled by this. Donald Trump now has a consistent pattern of inciting violence, of Donald and his henchmen pushing for violence."

This is a key component of the House impeachment managers' argument: that, beyond the speech that day, Trump had an established pattern of inciting violence and frequently shrunk at the idea of condemning it.

Cruz will almost certainly vote to acquit Donald Trump of the impeachment charges against him, but not before Twitter puts him through the wringer for his hypocrisy.






After revelations that Cruz is assisting Trump's defense team despite his oath to act as an impartial juror, the Senator is facing widespread rebuke.



The Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump is expected to conclude on Saturday, February 13.

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

CNN aired a fitting montage after President Donald Trump launched a broad attack on several conservative media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of being “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Carlson urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA, condemned the administration as “satanic” and called on Congress to remove what she described as the “Mad King Trump.”
