    Default Ted Cruz busted on Twitter for huge lie about GOP never trying to pack the SCOTUS

    ‘Gaslighting 101’: Sen. Ted Cruz Ripped For One Of His Biggest, Boldest Lies Yet

    Ed Mazza·Overnight Editor, HuffPost
    Fri, April 23, 2021, 3:04 AM

    Twitter users called out Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Thursday over an easily debunked claim he made about Republicans and the Supreme Court.

    During a press conference to urge President Joe Biden to reject any attempt to expand the Supreme Court, Cruz said:

    "You didn't see Republicans when we had control of the Senate try to rig the game. You didn't see us try to pack the court."

    Critics were quick to point out that in 2016, Senate Republicans, led by then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, blocked then-President Barack Obama’s appointment of Merrick Garland to a Supreme Court seat for almost a year. At the time, Republicans claimed that an open court seat could not be filled in an election year.

    After Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Garland’s nomination died. Senate Republicans then nixed the filibuster for Supreme Court nominations in 2017 to confirm Neil Gorsuch instead, the first of three Trump appointments to the court.

    In 2020, when Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died just weeks before the election, Senate Republicans forgot the McConnell Rule about keeping such seats open and rushed to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the court.

    Given those very recent events, Cruz’s critics weren’t buying his claim that Republicans hadn’t rigged the system to stack the court:

    Ted gets bashed nearly daily over some stupid remark or action, he’s become a recognized clown

    But then again, that was part of the strategy that got Trump elected, keep yourself in the news, even bad coverage was considered good since it was coverage, so who knows

    Ted Cruz is the devil incarnate.
    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    In his book, John Boehner says he's "dangerous" and a "reckless a--hole,".

    He goes on to say.... "This guy wasn't even a member of the United States House of Representatives, he was a member of the Senate, stirring up some of the crazies in my own caucus to cause all kinds of problems,"

    And.... "there's nothing worse than a reckless jackass who thinks he's smarter than everybody else."

    He then refers to Cruz as the "head lunatic" leading "the chaos caucus in the House" of Tea Party members and right-wingers more focused on appearing on right-wing media and escalating "outrage" news cycles to drive campaign donations than passing legislation in Washington.

    In the audiobook of his memoir, Boehner added an unscripted, "PS, Ted Cruz, go f--- yourself."

    Ted Cruz deserves to finally get busted by the DOJ, in particular, for his act of conspiring to join tRump's act of inciting insurrection against the Capitol, and waging war against the 2020 electoral process, and his other acts of sedition on the taxpayer dime as a violation of his squalid oath with U.S. Constitutional law as in a brazen act of high treason in his case.

    He's also not running again. No doubt he has some sweet corporate gig lined up and is just biding his time until cashing in on that sweet, sweet Congressional retirement and medical plan.

    He may want to move back to Canada or somewhere outside of Texas in retirement. A lot of Texans don't like how he fucked them over both during the COVID pandemic and the Texas Freeze.

    Using an underhanded trick like suddenly changing the same rule you harped on when it would have benefitted Obama's SCOTUS pick, is just another example of "packing the court".

    I know it doesn't mean the same thing as your favorite pastime of "packing the fudge" if that's what you're wondering.

    Nobody will be bent over spreading their ass cheeks like you and your boyfriends do with each other.
