Colin Allred to Ted Cruz Laughing at Jan. 6th: ‘It’s Not Funny,’ ‘Senator Cruz Was Hiding in a Supply Closet’

EXCERPT:

ALLRED: “I was on the House floor when we went through the votes. I remember when you objected to the results in Arizona. Y'all at home might remember where you were on January 6, what you were doing. I know where I was and I know where he was. I remember when they told us to reach under our seats for these gas masks I didn’t know we had, because they deployed tear gas in the rotunda. The officers locked all the doors. We barred the doors the president walks through to deliver the State of the Union with furniture that we usually use to hold paper. I texted my wife Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our son Cameron, at home with our son Jordan who wasn’t yet two, 'Whatever happens. I love you.' I took off my suit jacket and I was prepared to defend the House floor from the mob. At the same time, after got around the country lying about the election, after he’d been the architect of the attempt to overthrow that election, when that mob came, Senator Cruz was hiding in the supply closet. And that’s okay. I didn't want him to get hurt by the mob. I really don’t. This election is  accountability. You cannot just be patriotic when your side wins. If for the first time in 250 years, this project of ours, this shared American project, that we did not have a peaceful transfer of power, the folks responsible have to be held accountable. That’s why Liz Cheney, who has endorsed me as she got involved in this campaign, is saying to Texans everywhere, 'Do not put Ted Cruz back in a position of authority because he’s done it once, he'll do it again.'"
