Democrats’ top priority is to change the rules to stay in power, Cruz says
Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said at a press conference Thursday that the Democrat push for Washington, D.C., statehood and to pack the Supreme Court is an effort to ensure that they can never lose their grip on power.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., cheered the statehood passage as a "momentous day for American democracy." Democrats argued statehood was a matter of civil rights and a necessary step to right a historic injustice of taxing D.C. residents without affording them any representation in Congress. Cruz called the effort "fundamentally corrupt." "Their first priority is to change the rules to stay in power," he said. He also said the push is evidence that Democrats don’t believe in Democracy.More Related News
