Ted Cruz Exposed as a Scammer in Embarrassing Debate Smackdown

Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s massive grift was embarrassingly revealed during his debate against Representative Colin Allred Tuesday night. Cruz has been seriously struggling in his Senate race against Allred, and on Tuesday, it seemed that Allred dealt several critical blows to the Texas Republican. In his closing remarks, Allred didn’t hold back. “We’re all Americans, and we’re all Texans. We need a leader who will bring us together around our shared values. That’s what I’m trying to do during my six years in Congress. That’s the exact opposite of what Senator Cruz has done,” Allred said. “Whatever he says tonight, you’ve seen it for 12 years. He’s been one of the most divisive senators in the entire country. If you don’t like how things are going in Washington right now, well, you know what, he is singularly responsible for it. “He has introduced this new kind of ‘angertaiment’ where you just get people upset and then you podcast about it, and you write a book about it, and you make some money on it, but you’re not actually there when people need you. Like when the lights went out, when 30 million Texans were relying on a senator to spring into action, he went to Cancun. That’s who he is,” Allred said.Allred: If you don’t like how things are going in Washington, he’s responsible for it.

The Republican senator has been funneling the payout from his podcast, Verdict With Ted Cruz, straight into a pro-Cruz super-PAC called “Truth and Courage.” According to iHeartMedia and Cruz, the senator is simply “volunteering” his time, and the massive payouts are just “digital revenue.”Cruz faces a tough election against Allred, especially considering that nearly 2.6 million people have registered to vote in the state since the midterm elections—the bulk of whom are from some of Texas’s most liberal territories, including the areas surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin.
