Sen. Ted Cruz calls Adam Kinzinger 'a hack and a liar' over Paul Pelosi video allegation

Even though he’s no longer in Congress — he went straight from the Capitol with his cardboard box of stuff and moved it into CNN headquarters — Adam Kinzinger is still fighting for America. You’ve probably seen the police body cam footage of the Paul Pelosi attack by now, and most interestingly, it shows that the NBC News reporter who was suspended and his segment scrubbed from the internet was right all along.

Of course, there were a lot of theories about what was going on that night — we were told, for example, that an unknown third party answered the door for police. There were a lot of questions and not a lot of answers.

The Seattle Times decided to name and shame every person who made fun of Pelosi on Twitter, and Kinzinger offered his thanks. Number 1 on the list was Sen. Ted Cruz.

Cruz allegedly “amplified doubts that all facts were disclosed.”

You’re a hack & a liar.
The day this happened I said it was a horrific violent attack & I was praying for the Pelosi family.
What I mocked was the dishonest media (like you) that falsely painted the attacker as a MAGA Trumpster instead of a deranged hippie nudist Leftist. https://t.co/yNFYFgpsFH

Thanks to Kinzinger for sticking to the Boy Scout code of honor.

Did you demand that Pelosi’s daughter be held accountable (whatever that means) when she made light of the attack on Rand Paul? No, of course you didn’t. Because everything about you is fake — especially your outrage. You ridiculous midget crybaby. pic.twitter.com/TWSdJnZKhn

Sad how desperate you are for relevance 😁

Things about the story which at the time didn’t add up, which was a perfectly reasonable thing to discuss.

Tell me Adam, what does it look like to be “held accountable” for jokes?

Stop stacking L’s. No one trusts anything you tweet. In fact, everything you do backfires.

Hi Adam, has your wife found your balls yet?

I would like to be added to this list please

Uh, I know for sure @glennbeck doesn’t belong on this list because I was on his first show after it happened and we were mocking the conspiracy theories.
This, of course, makes me question the entire list.

Adam right about now. pic.twitter.com/QHmO3EY2pe

You really love making “lists” of people you don’t like.
— Aaron Ginn (@aginnt) January 28, 2023

They could never publish a list of all the people that make fun of you.

That list does seem kind of bogus, as it includes anyone who doubted the initial reports, which turned out to be wrong. But hold them accountable.
