Hey, Sen. Ted Cruz, I want to give you a bit of advice. It is that you told the truth this week when you described the 1\/6 mob that stormed the Capitol Building a group of \u201cterrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then you had to take back the truth you told and resume lying to us about what transpired on that horrible day.<\/p>\n

What the hell is the matter with you \u2026\u00a0Ted?<\/em><\/p>\n

I know you have to protect your backside against those supporters of yours who believe the insurrection against our government was just a bunch of \u201ctourists\u201d getting out of hand. Their \u201cpeaceful protest\u201d turned into something, well, quite violent. I know you saw it. I mean, you were\u00a0inside the Capitol<\/em>\u00a0that day, ostensibly doing your job, which was to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Oh, wait! I almost forgot. You were among Republican senators who resisted the certification of the results pending some phony \u201caudit\u201d of returns. You said something at the time about alleged concerns over The Big Lie (my words, not yours) that alleged \u201cwidespread voter fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Good grief, man! There wasn\u2019t any fraud and anyone with half a brain would know the election was as secure as it could get.<\/p>\n

As for the terrorists you described, well, you had it right when you called \u2019em out on Thursday. You got it wrong when you backed away the next day from the truth-telling spell and sought to soft-shoe around it on Tucker Carlson\u2019s TV talk show.<\/p>\n

Hey, maybe I shouldn\u2019t be surprised at the cowardice you exhibited. I remember in 2016 when you got angry with Donald Trump over your then-GOP opponent\u2019s tweeting that unflattering picture of your wife. You snarled at Trump, calling him a \u201csniveling coward\u201d and an \u201camoral\u201d individual who couldn\u2019t tell the truth if you held a gun to his head.<\/p>\n

Then you lost the party nomination fight and promptly began sucking up to the nominee who would become POTUS.<\/p>\n

You know what? I believe you, senator, are the \u201csniveling coward.\u201d<\/p>\n

If only telling the truth could free you of the fear of being pilloried by the cultists who have hijacked your once-great political party.<\/p>\n
