Houston Chronicle calls on Cruz to resign

The Houston Chronicle's editorial board is calling for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to resign after he helped lead the effort to challenge the 2020 election results in Congress.
The Chronicle, which has been a vocal critic of Cruz over the years, wrote in an opinion piece Friday that the senator’s actions helped fuel Wednesday’s deadly pro-Trump mob at the Capitol.
The Texas senator "knew exactly what he was doing, what he was risking and who he was inciting as he stood on the Senate floor Wednesday and passionately fed the farce of election fraud even as a seething crowd of believers was being whipped up by President Trump a short distance away," the editorial board wrote.
The editorial board blasted what it called "Cruz's cynical gamble," saying he "peddled his phony concern for the integrity of our elections, he argued that senators who voted to certify Biden’s victory would be telling tens of millions of Americans to ‘jump in a lake’ and that their concerns don’t matter."
The editorial board then addressed Cruz directly, arguing that “those terrorists wouldn’t have been at the Capitol if you hadn’t staged this absurd challenge to the 2020 results in the first place.”

Both major newspapers in MO also called for Hawley’s resignation.

Now to vote him out if he doesn’t resign. I wonder what his preacher Cuban import Father thinks of his actions.

The Houston Chronicle endorsed Clinton in 2016, so this isn’t quite as significant as one might hope.

None these guys will resign, ever.

I'm afraid there will be little repercussion for Cruz or Hawley. Neither comes up for reelection until 2024. Given that the presidential election will get all the attention and that Americans have no political memory, they will be frontrunners for reelection.

The way things are going, they'll be front runners for the Republican nomination for president.

He's probably cuddling with Trump now.

That was their plan all along

Let 'em run. Tee 'em up. I'll be ready.
