You want to tell me Ted Cruz is a Rino I will laugh in your face. And unlike the people on here who produce agit prop for clicks I produce the receipts.
First Impeachment (2019): Voted to acquit. Defended Trump throughout.
January 6, 2021: Cruz was one of the senators who moved to block certification of the 2020 election results.
After the riot, he called it “a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol” BUT then as more information came out he went on Tucker Carlson’s show and apologized, calling his own language “sloppy and frankly dumb.”
Second Impeachment: Voted to acquit, arguing Trump’s speech was not impeachable and that the trial was Democrats venting hatred rather than seeking justice.
He agrees with Trump on some things and disagrees with him on others.
Voted for the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Voted for the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill: No Tax on Tips, Trump Accounts, elimination of CAFE standards, natural gas tax repeal.
Filibustered every gun control bill that reached the Senate floor.
Voted against the 2022 bipartisan background check bill after Uvalde.
Voted against the 2013 Manchin-Toomey background check expansion after Sandy Hook.
Argued and won D.C. v. Heller before the Supreme Court established the 2nd Amendment as an individual right.
Championed confirming over 230 federal judges during Trump’s first term. Voted to confirm every Trump nominee.
Voted against every pathway to citizenship bill including the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform. Read that one again.
Opposed DACA legislatively.
Voted against the 2024 bipartisan border deal, calling it insufficient.
Championed border wall funding.
Voted against Obamacare. Led the effort to defund it.
Voted against every major climate legislation bill Green New Deal, Inflation Reduction Act.
Championed domestic oil and gas deregulation consistently.
Constitutional originalism is his defining cause. He argued before the Supreme Court, fought for conservative judges relentlessly. And he supports Israel so he’s a threat to every single person who wants to change the constitution on the right or left.
Throwing around words like Rino when you don’t clearly know what they mean makes you an ignorant leftist.
