I’m looking forward to your clips when you asked Democrats the same lame hypothetical question. Good grief — did you get your degree from the Walmart School of Journalism?

Cari Kelemen2 years ago

Have you ever asked a Democrat if they will accept the results of an election?

Greymane2 years ago

If Trump wins democrats won’t accept the results so why are you demanding conservatives say they would?

GreatAmericanMail2 years ago

Why would any rational person commit to accepting election results before it happens. It’s idiotic.

John Ayres2 years ago

Republicans? Seriously? Nobody’s falling for your “straightforward question” nonsense.

lol. How embarrassing for you. Ted Cruz is well known for being one of the best debaters in Princeton and Harvard history and you thought you were going to roll him?

😮 Trump's judicial nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Sen. Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Sen. Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* It turned out this pack of nominees is so committed to lying that they wouldn't provide a straight answer to that question either, and thus ended up sounding like election deniers even about Trump's wins. Here's a supercut:

NEW: Ted Cruz stumps CNN’s Kaitlan Collins with a history lesson after she tried gaslighting him on accepting election results. 🔥🔥🔥 Collins: Do you plan to object or will you accept the results regardless of who wins the election? Cruz: I think that's actually a ridiculous question. Cruz: I tried to look through history and precedent, and the best precedent I could find was the election of 1876 between Rutherford B Hayes and Samuel Tilden. And what happened there? There were serious allegations of voter fraud. Congress didn't throw its hands up and say, you know what? CNN demanded that, accept the results no matter what. So ignore the fraud. What did Congress do in 1876? How did the president handle it? What did Congress do in 1876? You can't answer. Can you answer my question? Why are you refusing to answer my question? Collins: I'm conducting the interview with all due respect.

For six years, Texans have had to deal with Ted Cruz. When we needed a Senator, he fled to Cancun. When we needed someone to defend our democracy, he tried to overturn the 2020 election. We are going to send him packing on November 5th.

NEVER FORGET when Ted Cruz was asked to say “Christ is King” but refused. He didn’t want to offend the Jews, so he called the phrase antisemitic instead.

Ted Cruz REFUSES to answer whether or not he supports abortion exceptions for rape or incest. But we know the truth: Ted Cruz led the fight to ban abortion and called the overturning of Roe v Wade a “massive victory.” Texas women deserve better. #SackTed
