Corporate media mouthpieces like the women who co-host ABC’s “The View” are obsessed with using the dumb “election denier” moniker to smear Republicans. But their latest guest, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, is setting the record straight on which party has a history of crying “illegitimate.”
During his guest appearance on “The View” Monday, Cruz pointed out that while his interviewers are busy demanding former President Donald Trump and other Republicans swear that the 2020 election was “legitimate,” they have repeatedly failed to hold any Democrats accountable for rejecting Republican victories.
“You don’t do it to Hillary Clinton, who stood up and said Trump stole the election. You don’t do it to Stacey Abrams who said that the election was stolen. They sat here and said it was illegitimate and you guys were fine with it,” Cruz said.
“And it was,” host Whoopi Goldberg yelled.
“So it’s illegitimate when Republicans win but not when Democrats win?” Cruz questioned. It’s a fair thing to ask considering the fact that Democrats have objected to every GOP presidential victory this century . Instead of engaging the valid point that Cruz raised about leftists’ hypocrisy on elections, however, Goldberg changed the subject to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
“We may not like when Republicans win, but we don’t go and we don’t storm,” she said.
It was then that Cruz noted leftists do use violent actions such as rioting, looting, burning, vandalism, and even death threats to express their outrage when things don’t go their way.
“Did I miss an entire year of Antifa riots where cities across this country were burning and police cars were being firebombed?” Cruz asked. “Your position is the left doesn’t engage in violence, really?”“I don’t know what an Antifa riot is,” Goldberg said.Cruz did not back down from confronting the bickering hosts, […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
