Texas Senator Ted Cruz is under fire for supporting the debunked theory that Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Lawmakers and other public officials in Texas are calling for Cruz to resign. On Wednesday, Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill, parroting the claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said Cruz "undermined our democracy, inspired treasonous, seditious acts, and brought shame to Texas."
Although Republican Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina hasn't released his third-quarter numbers yet, it's likely he's breaking into a cold sweat. That's because his Democratic challenger, Jamie Harrison, raised a record $57 million in the third quarter of 2020. The deluge in cash led to an appeal by Graham to his supporters on Fox News, where he said that he 'was getting killed financially' by Harrison. Business Insider reports Harrison beat the fundraising record of then-Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas, who ran against Republican Ted Cruz in 2018. The most recent Quinnipiac University poll showed both Harrison and Graham tied at 48% support.
Democrat Rep. Brendan Boyle of Philadelphia let loose on Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas following the deadly riots on Capitol Hill. Business Insider reports Boyle told Cruz to stop playing politics after the deadly riots on Capitol Hill. Boyle issued a profanity-filled tweet at Cruz after Cruz accused Democrats of attempting to make political hay out of the melee. How many more 20-yr old staffers do you want to be terrorized and hiding in our offices? Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) Cruz and others have been criticized for objecting to a congressional procedure to count the 2020 presidential race's Electoral College votes.
US Senator and former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz was booed off stage during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Wednesday, with attendees chanting "We want Trump" during his address. Despite congratulating Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on being announced as the party's official candidate, Trump supporters hit back when Cruz encouraged voters to support Republican candidates "you trust to be faithful to the Constitution."
Lisbon (Portugal), March 17 (EFE), (Camera: Carlos García).- Beto, the 23-year-old Portuguese-Guinean striker who plays for Portimonense, is now compared with Haaland in the Portuguese League. In an interview with Agencia Efe, Norberto Bercique Gomes Betuncal, "Beto" remembers that in the club of his neighbourhood, the Tires (Lisbon), the technicians made him train with tennis balls to improve his scoring ability. SOUNDBITES OF BETO, PORTIMONENSE PLAYER:"It was fun, it was trying to resolve in the air, trying to kick it, because they thought that if I managed to kick the tennis ball, the soccer ball would be much easier." "Haaland is much better, I think we have a similar playing style, he is also a player who can do everything on the pitch." "Since I arrived in Portimao, at Portimonense, I have been treated very well by all the people, coaches, managers, teammates. It was a difficult evolution because when I arrived from Montijo it was a completely different reality." "Many people from other countries think that it is easy to play in the Portuguese League, but it is not, it is a very tactical league, very focused on tactics, the teams defend and attack well. You don't have many spaces, it depends on the teams. Therefore it depends on the quality of the players. I think it's a strong league."
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas plans to attend President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. This comes after weeks of elevating misinformation about the election results. Cruz has faced immense backlash and increasing pressure to resign following his objection. Biden has even criticized the Texas senator and said he should be defeated in 2024. Since November, Cruz has sown doubts into the electoral process, says Business Insider. Cruz's communications director, Lauren Blair Bianchi, also left her job in the wake of the siege.
