Tucker Carlson and Texas Senator Ted Cruz should be natural allies.
Both are two of the biggest names on the right.
But Tucker Carlson just called out Ted Cruz for something that no one expected.
Democrats are playing up the one-year anniversary of the January 6 riot at the Capitol for all it is worth.
Nancy Pelosi and her allies turned the day into a made-for-TV propaganda pep rally to push the only message available to the Democrats ahead of the midterm elections – that the GOP is an anti-American cancer on the country plotting to overthrow democracy.
This big lie sits at the center of the Democrats’ midterm messaging strategy because polls show Americans deeply disapproving of Joe Biden’s handling of the economy, immigration, COVID and inflation.
To that end, many conservatives were surprised when Senator Cruz echoed the left’s talking points about January 6 describing the riot as a “violent terrorist attack.”
“We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week,” Senator Cruz declared. “And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol.”
These comments upset Tucker Carlson.
Carlson’s been at the forefront of debunking the falsehood that January 6 was an “insurrection” or “attempt to overthrow democracy.”
On his show, Carlson made it clear he was not attacking Ted Cruz for sport.
Nor did Carlson believe Cruz was a charlatan or a RINO.
“Now let’s be honest,” Carlson began. “Everyone who’s conservative appreciates Ted Cruz. You may not like him. But you’ve gotta appreciate him. He’s legitimately smart. He’s one of the more articulate people to serve in the Congress, maybe the most articulate. He doesn’t use a single word by accident. Every word Ted Cruz uses is used intentionally. He’s a lawyer.”
Carlson explained that Cruz echoed the false talking points on the left about January 6.
“He described January 6th as a violent terrorist attack. Of all the things January 6th 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 it was, Ted Cruz?” Carlson added.
To date, none of the 700 individuals arrested face domestic terrorism, sedition or insurrection charges.
This is the case despite the fact that the highly political Department of Justice now reacts in real time to pressure campaigns from the left to target Americans because they voted for Donald Trump or oppose school mask mandates.
Carlson concluded by warning viewers that if even a conservative like Ted Cruz could fall for the left’s false narrative about January 6 it did not bode well for the GOP.
“What the hell’s going on here? You’re making us think, maybe the Republican Party is as worthless as we suspected it was. That can’t be true. Reassure us, please, Ted Cruz,” Carlson stated.
