Democrats formally request investigation of Hawley and Cruz after deadly Capitol insurrection

Seven Democratic senators filed a complaint urging the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate GOP Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley's efforts to overturn the presidential election results.

Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, right, and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., attend the Senate Judiciary Committee markup on judicial nominations and the Online Content Policy Modernization Act, in Dirksen Building on Thursday, December 10, 2020.Seven Democratic senators filed a formal complaint Thursday urging the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate GOP Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley's efforts to overturn the presidential election results.

Cruz, a Republican from Texas, signed a written objection to certifying Arizona's votes toward the beginning of the joint session to count electoral votes on Jan. 6, prompting a debate in both chambers. Then, pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol building and lawmakers evacuated. "By proceeding with their objections to the electors after the violent attack, Senators Cruz and Hawley lent legitimacy to the mob's cause and made future violence more likely," the senators said in the letter.

Democrats make sure the press demonized two possible 2024 President contenders for doing exactly what some Democrats did in 2016, 2004 and 2000 when Republicans won the elections

Cruz is hoping for support from Parisians ...

There's also some more of them that they should be investigating.

About time. The world was watching and listening. Investigate, indict, and prosecute in short order. Unless you were on another planet.

Of course, because only democrats are allowed to object to anything. Ugh, the constant hypocrisy.

Tell the truth. There was no election fraud

Even today Cruz try again to gain some of Trump supporters by saying no need for impeachment. I think he is ignorant because he doesn’t know that Trump supporters are nobody supporters.

JoeFrmLI That’s it?

Cruz before and after the beard it's two different persons .... I remember him as a shy politician ...

SenTedCruz and Hawley should resign.

Pardon me ... did CNBC ever write „deadly“ connected to BLM riots?

Right wing extremists are products of the sort of professional pearl clutching we see from people like Josh Hawley on fear factories like Fox News. They have forgotten what makes up a true hero.

Can't image how Cruz feel's rn

Agree.

Meanwhile...Rep Eric Swalwell has an association with a Chinese spy and nobody bats an eye.
