Tucker Carlson hits Ted Cruz for calling the Capitol riot a “violent terrorist attack” [VIDEO]

Yesterday we posted video of Ted Cruz calling the Capitol riot a violent terrorist attack. Last night Tucker highlighted that on his show:

Just as we wrote yesterday, Tucker said that what happened a year ago was a riot, not a violent terrorist attack:

Now let’s be honest. Everyone who is conservative appreciates Ted Cruz. You may not like him but you gotta appreciate him. He’s legitimately smart and 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.

He described January 6th as a violent terrorist attack. Of all the things January 6th was, it was definitely not a violent terrorist attack like it wasn’t an insurrection. Was it a riot? Sure. It was not a violent terrorist attack. Sorry. So why you telling us that it was Ted Cruz? And why are none of your Republican friends who are supposed to be representing us and all the people who’ve been arrested during this purge saying anything? What the hell is going on here? You’re making us think that maybe the Republican Party is as worthless as we suspected it was. That can’t be true. Reassure us please, Ted Cruz.

Courtesy of One Bert, here is a more full explanation of Ted Cruz’s thoughts on January 6th that was recorded nearly a month ago. It’ll give you more context upon which to make up your mind.
