Ted Cruz Blasts Joe Biden

“It is hard to describe my feelings as anything other than RAGE” – Ted Cruz says he’s so pissed off over election he can’t see straight

by The Right Scoop

Ted Cruz was very blunt today on his podcast with Ben Ferguson, saying that he’s so pissed off over Republicans not winning the Senate that he can’t see straight.

He literally said it’s hard to describe his feelings as anything other than Rage and, while he says there a lot of blame to go around, he clearly believes a good portion of it lies with Mitch McConnell.

I’m about halfway through the podcast and it’s very interesting. Cruz not only airs his feelings about the election but also explains what happens in these leadership-election meetings like they’ve got coming up on Wednesday. And it’s nearly unbelievable.

Speaking of that, he makes clear in this video that he opposes even having this leadership meeting so soon after the election, when there are still undecided races in the Senate, namely Alaska and Georgia.

You can listen to the full podcast below and Cruz gets into it from the very beginning:

 
In case you want the short version, here’s a writeup on this by Daily Caller:

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell during a Monday podcast, saying the GOP should have won the majority of the upper chamber and blamed McConnell for not supporting Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters.

Cruz released an episode of his podcast, titled Verdict with Ted Cruz, where he and co-host Ben Ferguson discussed the midterm elections and the GOP’s failure to recapture the Senate. Cruz mentioned his frustration, saying there was no excuse for McConnell to abandon Masters, calling it “indefensible.”

“Well, Ben, let me start off by saying I am so pissed off, I cannot even see straight,” Cruz said.

“We had an extraordinary opportunity. We had a generational opportunity. This should have been a fundamental landslide election. We should have won the House and the Senate. We should have a 30, 40, 50 vote majority in the House. We should have 53, 54, 55 Republicans in the Senate,” Cruz continued.

McConnell’s PAC reportedly yanked $8 million in campaign spending from Arizona after Masters won his primary election, according to Fox News.

Cruz was also asked if McConnell would donate to Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s campaign in a run-off. Cruz replied he likely will, but said he believes the GOP could have won Arizona.

“Oh, look, I’m sure he will raise money and invest in the race … But if you look at this last cycle, Mitch McConnell pulled the money out of Arizona. We could have won — won Arizona. We nearly won Arizona and abandoning Blake Masters was indefensible,” Cruz said.

“Explain to me, Senator, why in a race where the polling showed that we had a legitimate chance of winning there. Why did he pull out that money from Masters who desperately needed it?” Ferguson asked Cruz.

“Because Masters said he would vote against Mitch McConnell, and so Mitch would rather be leader than have a Republican majority. If there’s a Republican who can win, who’s not gonna support Mitch, the truth of the matter is he’d rather the Democrat win. So he pulled all the money out of Arizona,” Cruz responded.

Cruz also said that “the country is screwed for the next four years” due to the GOP’s failure to regain the majority, saying “because of this, we’re gonna see horrible Left-wing judges confirmed for the next two years, because of this. We’re gonna see judges taking away our free speech rights, our religious liberty rights, our Second Amendment rights. It is an enormous missed opportunity. And I gotta say, it is hard to describe my feelings as anything other than rage,” Cruz concluded.

I don’t know if these numbers are official, but this is how outspent Republicans were via Greg Price:
