Texas Traitor Ted Cruz Tangles With Big Bird, And Talks ‘Texit’ Secession

“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you” – Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

Sedition Leader Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) – remember he is the senator who backed Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) in carrying out the coup plot in the John Eastman “coup memos” by objecting to certification of the Electoral College vote on January 6 (was he one of the coup plotters at the Willard Hotel “war room”?) – is now attacking Sesame Street’s Big Bird for a tweet about child Covid-19 vaccinations, and promoting Texas seceding from the Union.

No, really. Why doesn’t he just pack a bag and leave for Cancún, Mexico permanently.

Salon reports, GOP attacks Sesame Street’s “Big Bird” for promoting COVID vaccine: “Brainwashing children!”:

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and other right-wingers lashed out at “Big Bird” on Saturday after the Sesame Street character’s Twitter account advocated getting vaccinated for COVID-19.

Big Bird was referring to CNN journalist Erica Hill, who hosted a Town Hall with Big Bird called “The ABCs of COVID Vaccines.”

Cruz responded by writing above Big Bird’s tweet, “Government propaganda…for your 5 year old!”

I would pay to see Big Bird and Ted Cruz in a steel cage match. Kick his cowardly ass, Big Bird!

Steve Cortes, a Newsmax host, went a step further.

“This kind of propaganda is actually evil,” Cortes wrote. “Your children are not statistically at risk, and should not be pressured into a brand new treatment. Do Not Comply!”

Fox News‘ Lisa Marie Boothe accused Big Bird of “brainwashing children who are not at risk from COVID.”

“Twisted,” Marie Boothe wrote.

The anti-science, anti-masker, anti-vaxxer right-wing propaganda machine for the Trump Death Cult is absolutely batshit crazy.

Sedition leader Ted Cruz was not done. He gave his tacit support to the “Texit” Texas Secession Movement promoted by former Texas GQP chair Alan West (now running for governor), who recently was hospitalized with Covid-19. See how this somehow ties together?

Huffington Post reports, Ted Cruz Talks About Joe Rogan Being ‘President’ Of Texas If State Secedes From U.S.:

In a startling address to constituents, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) recently talked about controversial COVID-19 conspiracist Joe Rogan becoming the “president” of Texas if the state secedes from the union.

“I’m not there yet,” Cruz told an audience last month at Texas A&M University about Texas seceding from the United States — popularly known as “Texit.”

But “if there comes a point where it’s hopeless, then I think we take NASA, we take the military, we take the oil,” he said to loud applause.

Asked if he would also take Rogan, a Texan, Cruz responded: “Joe Rogan, he might be president of Texas!”

When Cruz was asked by a member of the audience about the possibility of seceding, he said he “understood the sentiment.” But he added that he wasn’t ready for it — yet.

So much for an Ivy League legal education. Texas can’t legally secede from the U.S., despite popular myth.

“I’m not ready to give up on America. I love this country,” he said, again to applause.

For one thing, Cruz insisted, Texas has a “responsibility” to the nation because “right now it’s an amazing force keeping America from going off the cliff, keeping America grounded in the values that built this country.”

Are you effin’ kidding me? Texas is a racist white Christian Nationalist theocracy trying to become Gilead from the Handmaid’s Tale.

But he’s prepared to change his mind.

“Look, if the Democrats end the filibuster … if they pack the Supreme Court, if they make D.C. a state, if they federalize elections and massively expand voter fraud,” which doesn’t exist, “it may become hopeless,” Cruz said. “We’re not there yet.”

But if it does become “hopeless,” that’s when the state should grab NASA, the military and the oil, he added.

As for a possible future Texas “president,” at least right-wing vaccine and mask skeptic Joe Rogan appears healthy after contracting COVID-19 earlier this year. The podcaster early last month insisted without a shred of evidence on his popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” that President Joe Biden’s booster shot, which was filmed and shown on TV, had been magically faked.

Rogan admitted in May he was a “fucking moron” [true dat! Goes double for anyone who listens to this fucking moron] and “not a respected source of information” after falsely claiming young and healthy people don’t need to be vaccinated. Hopefully, he knows more about running a nation state.

Cruz’s talk was recorded for his Verdict podcast series. It’s part of a series of controversial Verdict talks and others funded by the conservative Young America’s Foundation, whose president is right-winger Scott Walker, former governor of Wisconsin. Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump’s one-time attorney general, and Trump’s extremist immigrant adviser Stephen Miller are alumni of the foundation.

Cruz planned to speak last month at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, but the event was moved off campus because organizers refused to comply with the university’s policy requiring masks, WKOW-TV reported.

OK, Ted Cruz actively participated in a seditious conspiracy and insurrection with the failed coup plot on January 6, and now he is openly advocating treasonous secession from the United States. Why is is this man still not under arrest?

And let’s not forget that  Sedition leader Ted Cruz recently defended the right to give a Nazi salute. The problem with Ted Cruz’s defense of a Nazi salute: “You have to hand it to Sen. Ted Cruz; his timing was impeccable. On the anniversary of the deadliest attack on Jews in US history, Cruz raised his voice in the Senate to defend an American’s right to brandish a Nazi salute.”

Maybe we can get Jeff Bezos or Richard Branson to take Ted Cruz into space – and just leave him there on a one way flight.
