    Default ‘You’re Welcome To Say Something Negative About Antifa Right Now’

    Dems don't like mentioning leftist bullshit, they prefer hiding and lying about it.

    ‘You’re Welcome To Say Something Negative About Antifa Right Now’: Ted Cruz Spars With Mazie Hirono At Senate Hearing

    Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz clashed with Democratic Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono at the end of a Senate subcommittee hearing Tuesday on antifa violence.

    Cruz, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, convened the hearing to discuss the role antifa and other left-wing groups play in ongoing riots in major U.S. cities like Portland.

    Before getting up to leave the hearing, Hirono said “we can all agree” on denouncing “violent extremism of all stripes.”

    “So to constantly accuse Democrats of not caring about that is … I can only say that you aren’t listening,” she added. “So I hope this is the end of this hearing, Mr. Chairman, and we don’t have to listen to any more of your rhetorical speeches. Thank you very much. I’m leaving.”

    “I appreciate the, as always the kind and uplifting words of Senator Hirono,” Cruz responded. “And I would also note that throughout her remarks she still did not say a negative word about antifa, nor has any Democrat here. They instead engage in a political game where they depend — you’re welcome to say something negative about Antifa right now.”

    “I think that I’ve covered the subject quite well,” Hirono said as she left.

    “OK, she declined to speak, so that is the position of the Democratic Party,” Cruz shot back. “I would note also that of the seven Democratic senators who spoke, not one of them apologized for or denounced multiple Democrats calling law enforcement officers Nazis, stormtroopers and Gestapo. To be fair, I have not heard the word Nazi, but stormtrooper was Nancy Pelosi and Gestapo was another Democratic leader. That was less than helpful.”

    “Across the country, we’re seeing horrific violence, we’re seeing our country torn apart,” Cruz told Fox News Monday. “Violent anarchists and Marxists are exploiting protests to transform them into riots and direct assaults on the lives and safety of their fellow Americans.”

    Cruz occasionally brings to mind why I vote for him. Wish it was more often.

    I just remember how HIS personality bothered me before Trump. Then how vicious Trump was even regarding his wife and dad. Then Cruz ends up sucking up to him?

    I don't doubt his brilliance, I do doubt his loyalty, to anyone.

    I've questioned him more than once. Even personally threatened to not vote for him at one point. That point was not backing the President. So ...

    I don't thnk Cruz is sucking up. He's doing what his constituents want. We didn't put him in office to be a Dem nor obstruct the President. He's not my favoritist person in the World, and he's quick to waffle at times.

    Other Option: Albert O'Rourke. I'd as soon have my hand cut off than pull the lever for him unless it was the trap door on a gallows.

    Beta male o'rourke would get me voting for Cruz and the Texas senator pretty much no matter what. (there is chatter about Robert Francis O'Rourke running against Texas other senator.

    Simply, Cruz is a 90s Republican neocon Lot of talk and little action. I expect nothing better from him.

    O'Rourke is one person I can say that if he slipped on a marble and broke his neck and died instantly I would smile.

    Me too. Compare me to Germans at Nuremberg you can go die in a fire. And he doubled and tripled down on that comment.

    Let's make a distinction here. He is not just another Demtard. He is not Marxist. He is straight-up fascist evil. He would do like, as much, or more damage than Hitler given the opportunity.

    It wouldn't surprise me a bit if he was in antifa.

    A excellent moment by Cruz.

    And I will take advantage of his invitation to say something negative... Antifa, and it supporters, as well as all those that refuse to denounce Antifa's violence - they are all the scum of the earth, and they are actually the Fascists they claim to be against.

    Okay, I said it. I felt good, kind of.
