Colin Allred’s quote:

“You can’t be for the mob on January 6 and for the officers. You can’t. I was on the House floor when we went through the votes. I remember when you objected to the results in Arizona. Y’all at home might remember where you were on January 6, what you were doing. I know where I was, and I know where he was. I remember when they told us to reach under our seats for these gas masks I didn’t know we had because they had deployed tear gas in the rotunda. The officers locked all the doors, we barred the doors… And I texted my wife Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our son Cameron and at home with our son Jordan who wasn’t yet two, “Whatever happens, I love you.” I took off my suit jacket, and I was prepared to defend the House floor from the mob. At the same time, after he’d gone around the country lying about the election, after he’d been the architect of the attempt to overthrow an election, when that mob came, Senator Cruz was hiding in a supply closet."

    Hiding in a supply closet. I have no idea if that is true but it sure sounds like something Ted Cruz would do.

      Yeah, I have no trouble believing Ted Cruz would cower in a supply closet while the patriots on the floor were preparing to defend the House against Ted’s insurrectionist buddies.

      I mean to be fair so would I. But then I wouldn’t turn around and defend the fuckers that had me hiding

        There were multiple terrified Repubs fleeing or cowering who then later decided to tell lies. “Just a regular tour.”

        Crazy, how in the heck did he spin that to make himself look good?

      He’s familiar with the closets location and had a key to it from all the fucking his secretaries in it, probably
