Houston Chronicle: 'Ted Cruz has got to go': Protests hit Houston after deadly Capitol riot

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/houston-protests-rallies-us-capitol-riot-trump-tx-15852806.php

Protests against President Donald Trump and Republicans are being organized Thursday in Houston following the deadly insurrection of the U.S. Capitol.

“Hey hey, go ho, Ted Cruz has got to go,” chanted a group of Houston activists around noon in front of the Leland Federal Building at 1919 Smith Street.

Around a dozen people gathered, some with signs that read, “Remove Traitors,” “25th Amendment” and “Trump lost, fascists get out.”


Ted Cruz faces fierce blowback after his objection to Joe Biden’s victory and riot at the U.S. Capitol
Wednesday’s chaos led to calls for Cruz’s resignation from Texas Democrats. But Cruz says he “ain’t going anywhere.”

It's nothing a little monthly censure in the Senate couldn't cure, but the sad fact is that the Senate does have some damage control to work on, and the nation is more important than granting attention to a lowlife who deserves nothing more than being ignored.

with inciting an insurrection against the United States and locked up. Dems here in TX need to adopt Stacy Abrams' Fair Fight model & get her here to help us turn TX blue so we can kick Cruz' ass out and put a Dem governor in office in 2022.
I'm hoping Beto will run for governor. We hate Greg Abbott (governor). We hate Cruz more.

Here's a Twitter thread detailing his major donors.
"This is a thread about the companies that donate to Ted Cruz. Now that Cruz is an open seditionist, perhaps these companies will want to rethink their support for his treason."
