Ted Cruz Says It’s ‘Ridiculous’ To Ask If He’ll Accept Results Of The 2024 Election
HuffPost
The Texas Republican was the first senator to object to the certification of the Electoral College votes in 2020.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) repeatedly refused to say if he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election regardless of who won in a heated interview Wednesday night on CNN.
Host Kaitlan Collins asked Cruz — the first senator to object to the certification of the Electoral College votes in the 2020 election — if he planned to do so once more after President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are expected to face off in November. Cruz, who is up for reelection in November, took umbrage with the question before dredging up disproven conspiracy theories about widespread voter fraud.
Collins: In 2024, will you certify the election results, do you plan to object, or will you accept the results regardless of who wins the election?Cruz: So Kaitlan, I’ve gotta say I think that’s actually a ridiculous question.Collins: It’s a yes-or-no question.Cruz: No, it’s not. Let me explain why it’s a ridiculous question: Have you ever asked a Democrat that?Collins: Of course.
Collins went on to challenge Cruz’s claim that Democrats, too, had voiced opposition to Trump’s ascension in 2016 when he defeated Hillary Clinton, saying the lawmaker couldn’t compare the two situations.
“We did have a peaceful transfer of power,” Cruz replied. “I was there on Jan 20. I was there on the swearing-in.”
