Kanye And His Supporters...

Ted Cruz Hid In A Closet On Jan 6th

I've also put in some spacing so your blathering, incoherent response is somewhat coherent. 

Then I placed in boldface the statement from Cruz's book where Ted Cruz wrote this:  

"while we waited for the Capitol to be secured, I assembled our coalition in a back room (really, a supply closet with stacked chairs) to discuss what we should do next,"

So where in the statement he made in his book does it indicate that HE hid in a closet?

These are the facts of what transpired that day, since you never read his book, because you don't read books, you read propaganda shoved up your backside by your corrupt leftist media and then you regurgitate it like the parrot you are.

Here is what happened that day:  

The Capitol police came in to the chambers and told ALL of the Senators they needed to leave the room for their own safety, because of the rioters in other areas of the Capitol.

Cruz stated that He and other Senators in his group waited for the capitol to be secured in a back room which happened to be a supply closet, to discuss and figure out what they should do next.

To any thinking individual with even half a brain, when the cops come and tell you to stay in the building but find a safe place, most intelligent individuals would find a place away from the rioters to discuss business.  

That's what Cruz and the other Senators did, they found a safe place where he stated in his book they "discussed and figured out what to do next"

(and yes, keep working on those brain cells of yours because at some point in your life you might actually elevate yourself to become a half-wit instead of the complete DIM-wit that you are now)

The left leaning Dallas Morning News even reported that No, Cruz did not hide in a closet.

Here is the article:  https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2022/10/25/did-texas-republican-sen-ted-cruz-really-hide-in-a-closet-during-the-jan-6-riot/

From the article: 

But did the Texas Republican actually seek refuge from the rampaging mob by running into a closet?   No, not really.
In a new book, Cruz describes how the riot prompted senators to abandon the chamber and scramble to a secure, undisclosed location. 

So then, even the left leaning Dallas Morning News didn't lie about it like the biased leftist sources you provided to your spin.

Tell us all tough guy, what would you have done as a Senator?  Nobody really knew what was going on and whether or not the crazies who were rioting wouldn't try to hurt people.

Most unarmed people leave when the cops tell them to leave.

But being Captain Marvel, as you apparently intimate that you are, explain to us what YOUR move would have been if YOU were a Senator that day.

Here's my guess as to what YOU would have done.  You would have grabbed the nearest skirt or pantsuit worn by the nearest woman next to you and you would have used any woman or any little girl as a shield so that you didn't get hurt.

So when you  criticize Ted Cruz and other Senators for leaving the Senate chambers and assembling in another room, it just indicates what a disingenuous and dishonest leftist you are.  
Hard to believe you are a full-grown adult.  Maybe you aren't.

Is Pennsylvania really going to elect this bozo?

Exactly.  Just because some of Fetterman's physical abilities were temporarily affected by the stroke, does not mean his cognitive abilities were, too.

Its obvious that you didn't watch even one second of the debate.  I watched it on Tuesday in full.

Fetterman couldn't even put a composed sentence together indicating that he comprehended the questions he was being asked.

And if he was IS NOT impaired mentally/cognitively as you stated then why did even the pundits on CNN say on their panels that this was a serious scandal by the Press who hid his condition from the Public and lied to the American about his inability to function?

When CNN goes against you and says that the press lied to the American people regarding John Fetterman's condition, you know it is bad.
You really hate that guy, huh?

There is none, but I suppose that is the best you can come up with since you can't argue on the merits of whether he's even close to mental fitness, to serve in a position where he's making value decisions that will govern the entire nation of 330,000,000 people.

My position is and has been that he's not able to serve in the capacity of a United Senator that will affect every single American, due to his unfortunate mental state which occurred from his stroke.

So then, aside from Screaming racism, racism, racism, your side of the political aisle (the far left), has nothing other than to make charges of hate, racism, homophobism, transgenderism, xenophobia etc... against those who look at the intellectual capacity of the poor guy to be able to even function.  

He can't understand much of any conversation, that is obvious.  He's having a great deal of trouble communicating coherently.  One reporter had the guts to say so 2 weeks past, and she was attacked by leftists like yourself and she was ostracized on Twitter and Facebook.

The things Fetterman says are very much incoherent and make no sense.

You though, will tout his skills and his abilities which are greatly challenged these days.

But hey, since you have nothing else at all intellectually to use as a comeback, I guess you'll resort to the usual leftist tactic of making unsupportable charges about my intent.  

That's fine.  Coming from a giant intellect like yourself, I would expect nothing less.

All you seem to want to do to defend your position is to hurl the regular accusations that come with any criticism by the left, of your politicians towards the other side of the political aisle.

You know the ones, "hater", "bigot", "homophobe", those ones that you and others on the left employ in order to change the subject from the guy's fitness to serve as a United States Senator.  

You use these pathetic tactics so that you aren't required to deal directly with questions regarding John Fetterman's mental competence.

Don't worry, it isn't surprising knowing the source of the accusations above.  wink

As I've stated a number of times in this thread, the guy should be in a rehab center with qualified medical personnel attending to his needs. He is in very bad shape and many doctors have commented that he may have another stroke.  Being on a rigorous political campaign, out on the road isn't helping him.

But then, You obviously couldn't give a good God Damn about the guy and his well-being since all you want to do is criticize others who make obvious points about the guy.

Is there any other deflection you would like to offer up so that you don't have to deal with the biggest question of all regarding John Fetterman, which is this.  

Does he have the capacity to serve as a US Senator, and should be out on the campaign where he is obviously not getting the help he needs?
All the vitriol you've been posting for the last couple days; what do you think?

A stroke might actually improve this guy's cognitive abilities.

It really is a simple question.

Is John Fetterman mentally competent to serve as a United States Senator? 
I'd vote for him over his snake oil salesman opponent any day

So your standards are well thought out.  Smart!

What  do you think of Fetterman's idea to let 1/3 of all criminals serving prison time in Pennsylvania out of prison, just for the heck of it?

Are you on board with that?
