Ad from anti-Trump PAC calls Ted Cruz part of 'new Jim Crow caucus' for challenging Electoral Colleg

[douglas9]

Anti-Trump PAC the Lincoln Project is calling out GOP senators including Ted Cruz for challenging Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, saying their efforts to throw out Black votes makes them the "new Jim Crow caucus."
Citing debunked conspiracy theories, Cruz has spearheaded a plan by a dozen Senate Republicans to vote against Biden's victory over President Donald Trump unless there’s an election audit. The move comes as Trump was captured on an audio recording urging Georgia's secretary of state to help him steal the election.

The Lincoln Project spot singles out Cruz — along with Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton and Rand Paul — for their efforts to disenfranchise Black voters who were key to Biden's victory in swing states.

"Meet the senators from the new Jim Crow caucus," a voiceover says. "They're trying to disqualify the votes of millions of African Americans. ... They're trying to send African-American voters a clear message: You don't count."

The ad goes on to name corporations — UPS, CitiBank and Texas-based AT&T — that had donated to the individual senators' election campaigns.

2. Cruz is coward. I remember the presidential debates when trump

Made crude remarks about Cruz’s family. He just stood there and said nothing. That’s a coward, plain and simple.

3. Unlike trump, Cruz is (1) well-educated, and (2) he's neither stupid nor overtly insane.

Thus Cruz is potentially more dangerous, and our best efforts should be used to take him out of the governing process.

4. Yes. We need to make this nickname stick!

Much shorter than, "Those treasonous bastards that committed sedition and tried to overturn democracy, you know, Ted Cruz 'n them."
