Ted Cruz run out of DC restaurant by protesters shouting 'We believe survivors!'

After three women alleged they were sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, protesters took over the halls of Congress demanding Senators listen to survivors.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and his wife were shouted out of a Washington restaurant Monday evening by protesters shouting down his relationship with Kavanaugh.

“We believe survivors!” the protesters shouted.

Another asked if he’ll be confirming his “best friend Brett Kavanaugh.”

The junior senator from Texas only said to the protesters, “God bless you” and asked them to allow his wife to exit.

This will be amusing https://www.thedailybeast.com/ted-cruz-heckled-out-of-dc-restaurant-we-believe-survivors


Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was forced out of the D.C. restaurant Fiola on Monday night by protesters denouncing his friendship with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. An activist group posted a video on Twitter showing Cruz and his wife being chased out of the restaurant by protesters chanting “We believe survivors!” At one point, a man tells Cruz that Beto O’Rourke, the Democrat running against him in November, is “way hotter” than him. Another asks if he will “confirm [his] best friend Brett Kavanaugh?” Cruz then tells the loud crowd “God bless you” and asks them to let his wife through. In a separate clip, a woman claiming to be his constituent asks him how he will vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation and if he “believes survivors.” Cruz responds, “God bless you, ma’am.” Protesters also gathered outside Cruz’s Austin office earlier Monday to support Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, who have both accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

Ted Cruz doesn't believe half the religious crap he spews. He just thinks the rubes voting for him do.

I wonder what they said at lunch...................because, if there was an FBI investigation you would think "he" would be called to answer some questions........................

Did Cruz mention that he knew this "guy" for twenty years when he threw soft ball questions to him.................I don't think so ............................
