Ted Cruz and Kaitlan Collins Brawl over ‘Ridiculous Question’ About Whether He’ll Accept the Election Results

EXCERPT:

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 got to say, I think that's actually a ridiculous question."
COLLINS: "It's a yes-or-no question though."
CRUZ: "No, it's not. Let me explain why it's a ridiculous question. It's not a question. You've ever asked a Democrat that?"
COLLINS: "Of course."
CRUZ: "What Democrat?"
COLLINS: "But what Democrats -- "
CRUZ: "Yes, no, but hold on a second. What Democrats challenge it?"
COLLINS: "What Democrats — I know. I know. I've been down this road many times."
CRUZ: "But — but — but —  "
COLLINS: "No Democrat — you cannot compare the two situations. We have talked about that. We've seen the audio of that when they protested on the Senate floor."
CRUZ: "OK. But — but hold on a second."
COLLINS: "But have they ever — have you ever had a sitting president who refused to facilitate the peaceful transition of power--
CRUZ: "And by the way — "
COLLINS: " — refused to acknowledge that his successor won the presidency?"
CRUZ: "So, a) we did have a peaceful transfer of power. I was there on January 20th. I was there on the swearing-in."
COLLINS: "Barely."
CRUZ: "B) If you look at in 2000, Democrats went to the Senate — or 2001, Democrats went to the Senate floor and objected to George W. Bush. In 2004 — "
COLLINS: "And what did the Vice President do?"
CRUZ: " — they went and objected. In — "
COLLINS: "And what did the President do?"
CRUZ: "In 2016, Democrats went and objected to Donald Trump. And so, look — "
COLLINS: "And what happened in 2016? Because, I remember a guy named Joe Biden was Vice President, and he went to the Senate floor and certified the votes."
