Remember that, right, when Trump called your wife ugly and then you nominated him?
Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit,
remember when those insurrectionist wanted to murder you?
>> Okay, so Ted Cruz took a little trip to New York to appear on the view, which
apparently got a protest from climate activists and to promote his new book.
And maybe he should have gone to the Yankees game,
it was not a very warm welcome.
But he also in this book now has revealed a little bit of what happened to
him on January 6, and I feel like we have to talk about it.
He says at some point following the building being breached, Senators were led
to what he calls a secure location where tempers were high with
several senators blaming us explicitly for the violence that was occurring.
While we waited for the capital to be secured,
I assembled our coalition in a back room,
really a supply closet with stack chairs to discuss what we should do next.
Now, look, he's gonna continue on, and
I'm sure in his mind he sees this as a demonstration of him standing
strong before those other Democrats who are blaming him for this.
But when you are presenting yourself as having to go hide in a closet,
cuz people are roaming the corridors looking to murder politicians,
that doesn't present you as a particularly strong person.
Especially when you are then gonna demonstrate that despite the threat
to your own life, you're siding with those people.
If you're just scared of those people, you didn't inspire it, then it makes all
the sense in the world defend yourself, protect yourself, you are a victim.
And it makes sense that we would feel bad for you.
But when he goes on to say,
it's several members of the group argued that in the face of the riot,
we should suspend our objections and vote to certify the election.
I understood the sentiment, but I vehemently disagreed with it, I urged my
colleagues that the course of action we were advocating was the right and
principled one.
Yeah, but it was also on the side of the people who were rampaging through the
building looking to kill people including the people who were in the closet with.
So again, he is a dude who now his life is he goes to baseball games and
people make fun of news face and it's hilarious, and
he really gave the game away by looking at the person shouting.
If he had just not looked then you could have believed maybe he didn't hear it, but
he definitely heard it and
hiding in closets when the consequences come a calling.
>> Like I'm here today with a word of hope and word of trust.
>> Donald Trump said that Ted Cruz's dead killed JFK.
>> Ted Cruz is dead, killed JKF you can read about it in the paper.
>> Crazy Lee Harvey Oswald having breakfast.
Now, Ted never denied that it was his father.
>> Hey, you can read about it in the paper.
>> Are you saying that Donald Trump is lying?
[MUSIC]
>> But are you saying that Donald Trump is lying,
cuz like I don't wanna know the answer to that?
That is a member of the prank group,
the good liars trolling Ted Cruz about an old basically
Donald Trump invented conspiracy theory that his dad killed JFK.
And he is holding a copy of the National Enquirer.
Now, remember the National Enquirer matters in the Trump world cuz Trump and
what I believe his name is Daniel Pecker used to be very good friends.
And David Pecker, excuse me, sorry David UPOS, they used to be homies, right?
And there was like sort of a gay keep my name out of your tabloids and
put Salma Hayek in there if she doesn't go on a date with me,
remember that horrible story that we've forgotten.
So here he's pretending to be a Trump fan and
bringing up some receipts like the cover of The National Enquirer.
And it's so fun to see Ted Cruz just all the life just drained from his face and
he doesn't actually know what to say,
I don't think he knows whether to call Donald Trump a liar.
I don't even know what their relationship is Aaron.
I mean, we can go back into the things that Trump has said about Ted Cruz.
But I've never seen a more like I'll scratch your back and
then you can just never look at me in the face ever again,
like that's the relationship that they have.
>> The relationship is I'll scratch your back, you call my wife ugly.
>> Yeah.
>> [LAUGH] It's sort of like I don't understand the dynamic,
but I think that you implied earlier that Ted Cruz seems to have just like
an attention kink anytime anybody is paying attention to him.
He's like got extreme search his own name on Twitter, and he's actually
been caught searching his own name during like official senate proceedings as well.
So we know that he does that,
we know that he cares more about people paying attention to him than anything.
It is so baffling to me that he has been a Senator for as long as he has,
he's about as appealing as like armpit razor burn.
Like there's nothing about him that is like warm or
sincere seeming, it's just like get him out of here.
So he didn't know what to say, but that's never really impacted him in the past.
There's photos of him kind of glum ping through an airport with
his roller suitcase wearing a Texas themed face mask shaming
his way back from Cancun is like that didn't think him.
So I can't imagine what would, but
I do think do you disagree with Donald Trump is a very funny troll for him.
