Resign for treason

timetogoted

Resign.

tedcruz + HawleyMO 👇 Resign and get out of Public life Your words have caused loss of life+ GOP get rid of these wrong doers

I’m sure Ted is really taking these calls for him to resign to heart! 🤣🤣

If you ever needed more proof of the bias industrial media complex well here you have it.

JohnnyDee62 Resigning would be the honorable thing to do. At no point in his life has Ted Cruz been found to have an honorable bone in his body.

So 3 newspapers on heavily blue areas are pandering to their viewership, which is flailing anyway, is pandering for sales? I fail to see how this is big news. Newspapers are basically dead anyway

He is not elected by news papers.

keep the pressure on! he should resign!!

tedcruz is a HomegrownTerrorist

Thinking Texas is tired. Tired of being pursued, used by separatists with divisive agendas, power hungry politicians. Three newspapers together... huge circulation.

Why must he resign on what grounds...Fake news media is the enemy of Democracy

Like everyone else, I don't think he cares.😂

The 17 Republican AGs, including Ashley Moody (the daughter of a federal judge), who backed Trump in the far-fetched election lawsuit should be held accountable. ResignMoody

CeeHawk You LOVE to see it

Texans can remove him. They don’t have to wait for him to resign.

He will only do it if Trump tells him to..

Lock up the Insurrection Inciter!

ResignTedCruz ResignJoshHawley

MoronnOrange Be gone!

Good!

He will never resign

Why would anyone listen to media Opinions/editorial in this day and age..

How someone who said your Father killed JFK and called your wife ugly and you still cool with them? 🤷🏾‍♂️ Ted Cruz you are soft.

Fat wolvie don’t give AF!

he can hitch a ride back to texas w/pee wee

He is veeeery afraid.

Ted Cruz incited insurrection. He must resign.

Texas does not want tedcruz any more. He must RESIGN or be EXPELLED. He must RESIGN or be EXPELLED. TraitorTed

Every reputable news outlet in America should be calling for Lyin’ Ted to resign.

tedcruz

Good job Ted, everybody hates you. Awesome dude !

jeppsaddison Cruz won't resign because: (1) he is used to being hated by everyone, even those closest to him (2) worming and weaseling his way into power is literally his purpose in life, and he's not going to easily let that go.

❤️❤️

If Cruz was forced out, this would be a good chance for Beto to step in and try for an extra senate seat.

Lion 🦁 Ted, the 🐐 ain’t goin’ NO-where !

Not gonna happen. You want war you'll get it if this persecution keeps up.

Do the right thing sit back and reflect of what you have to do better

Keep up that scream for ResignCruz

👍👽🇺🇸

Lock him up!! Treason

How did he go from being an enemy of trumps to one of his biggest supporters?

This guy made a fool out of himself by supporting someone that cursed him and his family. The people of Texas deserve better, someone with dignity moral and values.

He should resign!

The big question is who owns those newspapers.

The only way he's leaving is if he's voted out

Senator Ted Cruz incited sedition and insurrection.

Sedition tedcruz must resignm. Trying to overthrow the government

Ted Cruz is the only Republican that has balls enough to tell the truth. Those Texas newspapers can go to hell.

tedcruz has zero integrity and the spine of a flatworm. If resigning is the right thing to do, we all know he’ll do just the opposite.

Cruz accepted Trump’s abuse of his father and wife for political advantage. He became Trump’s Senate lackey for political advantage. When Sen. Hawley led on the Big Trump Lie, Cruz had to get into leadership with the lie for political advantage. The man has no dignity.

The Destroyers.

well the publisher of the newspaper should run against him instead of crying

Which 3?

A disgrace! A lawyer who is anti-constitutionalist. Maybe that is really possible.

Cruz is a domestic terrorist.

It's funny after how trump destroyed him during his running and then with no backbone he becomes trump's bitch and gets destroyed again 😂 Spineless so zero sympathy

ExpelTedCruz

NoT a NeWsPaPeR?!?!?!

he needs to be expelled ExpelCruz

Cruz must resign. He has disgraced himself beyond redemption. He has put lives at risk by promoting Trump’s lies about election fraud.

Resign SenTedCruz

Congrats for senator Cruz for not bending in front of radical left ideologues. His objection was legal and there is no reason for resignation.

ResignCruz

Now, immediately!!!! He is a coup plotter!!!

He should resign!

He will be on Trumps pardon list.

If you’re being censored, you’re saying something that they don’t want the rest of us to hear

Terrorist sympathiser and beard life support system, Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz Cancun trip blasted by Texas editorials: 'Paradise can have him'The Republican senator has faced a backlash following his trip amid an ongoing crisis in his home state posed by a winter storm. But isn't ironic that he fled to Mexico when he won't allow Mexicans to flee Mexico? Definitely not in touch with the electorate. Would be great if his stupid decision sinks his political career. Hahahah
