On Wednesday, Tucker Carlson made most Republicans aware of the fact that Ted Cruz referred to events on January 6, 2021, as a “violent terrorist attack on the Capitol.” On Thursday, Ted Cruz appeared on Tucker’s show to try to walk back what he said. Tucker was brutal with him. This was a good thing because it showed that conservatives have more integrity than Democrats when it comes to calling their own side out. It also gave Cruz the chance to repent and try to fight his way back into conservatives’ good graces.

Thomas Lifson wrote about Cruz’s peculiar statement here.

There are lots of theories as to why Cruz said what he said: Tucker called him a Merrick Garland puppet; Thomas Lifson thinks he’s angling for the Supreme Court; and one friend suggested that he was trying to avoid the Democrat lynch mob, led by Marc Elias, which announced a plan to use January 6 to bar Republicans from running for Congress.

Whatever Cruz’s future political plans are, they’re not going to happen if every conservative in America (but for the handful of NeverTrumpers who are turning into leftists) hates him. That’s why, the moment Cruz heard about Tucker’s show, he shot a text to Tucker, begging to be allowed on the next day’s show to set the record straight. And so it was that Cruz showed up on Tucker’s Thursday night show:

“Ted Cruz described January 6 as a violent terrorist attack. of all the things January 6 was, it was definitely not a violent terrorist attack. it wasn’t an insurrection. Was it a riot? Sure. It was not a violent terrorist attack. Sorry! So why are you telling us that it was, Ted Cruz? And why are none of your Republican friends who are supposed to be representing us and all the people who’ve been arrested during this purge saying anything? What the hell’s going on here? Maybe the Republican party is as worthless as we suspected it was.”

Ted's attempt to defend his words were lame, weak, and sad.

Tucker cut him zero slack last night.

Yes, it's quite odd. If Cruz wants to regain some credibility, I'd suggest coming clean about the NottaVax for starters.

I find the fact that ANYBODY believes that the "vaccine" helps ANYTHING just astounding. I'm still really butt-hurt about my friend being killed by Bidet's bullshit "mandates."

It being 5 degrees F in "The Burmese Capitol of the United States" this morning isn't helping my attitude much even though it's up to a balmy 7 degrees now.

(Edit) I can't believe it's still two hours before 5:00PM Zulu. I might be fixin' to break my New Year's resolution. It's too cold and icy to go anywhere especially with everybody driving around under the influence of the vax (DWV).

(Edit2) We're going into week #3 of no garbage collection here. I knew 2022 was going to suck-shit-in-Hell.

Well, we're at 31 and our tenants in NNCentral IA have warmed to -3 this brisk morning.

Since you're neither weak-minded, nor unrealistic, I cannot believe that you'd bother with NY resolutions and the like. Cheers!

I don't, I was just looking for a good lead-in.

I just caught a glimpse on the local WX channel, it looks like it might be around -40 in Tommy's hood. That'd really suck.

We had one February here when the lows were around -20 every day. That was a hard year.

Here's to you, Dad! *raises Leftist Tears tumbler*

I might try making bacon wrapped smoked sausage for dinner. I'm in a meat mood. It's cold enough to justify using my big oven. It might be kind of messy and greazy, I don't want to screw up my toaster oven.
