The Democratic senatorial hopeful in Texas savaged Ted Cruz over January 6th and the internet cheered – 15 favourite reactions
Until Wednesday, we weren’t aware of the existence of Colin Allred – civil rights lawyer, Democratic representative for the 32nd congressional district of Texas, former NFL linebacker, and challenger for the seat Ted Cruz currently occupies in the Senate.
Having watched his debate with the senator, however, he’s now firmly on our political radar, with one particular snippet catching our – and a lot of other people’s – attention.
On January 6, I got ready to defend my colleagues and texted my wife: “Whatever happens, I love you.”
Ted Cruz was hiding in a supply closet. If you summon a mob to overturn a free and fair election, you should lose your job. This election is his accountability.#TXSenateDebate pic.twitter.com/Fufk5I5Z7k

There wasn’t a whole lot of debating going on – just Congressman Allred going scorched earth on Senator Cruz, and people loved it.

From running to Cancun because of a deadly winter storm, to hiding in supply closets because of blood thirsty insurrectionists – Ted Cruz is a fucking COWARD. pic.twitter.com/34JsleWeUx

In Ted Cruz’s defense, he must spend at least 4 hours a day in dark damp spaces to maintain his human form. https://t.co/0IjrmGuTbK

He was more humiliated than the time Trump called his wife names.

Ted Cruz’s snickering in the face of serious accusations is the sign of someone unable to take responsibility for their bad judgment. He is unfit to be in the Senate.

This was the greatest non physical knock out I’ve ever witnessed. Absolutely cleaned his clock.

BTW, Ted Cruz is the most useless thing in a supply closet.

To add insult to injury, Colin Allred added the Texas equivalent of ‘all mouth and no trousers’.
