By Oliver Willis -February 1, 2021 1:49 PM
Cruz, one of several Republicans to vote against certifying President Joe Biden's electoral win, was recently called out by Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Friday accused Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) of wanting to "set up the guillotine" to go after "everyone she disagrees with." He also compared congressional Democrats to a mobster attempting to kill his enemies.
Cruz was asked by conservative radio host Michael Berry to respond to Ocasio-Cortez, who recently declined to work with Cruz on financial services legislation, pointing to his role in egging on the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, noting, "You almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago."
On Berry's show, Cruz compared Ocasio-Cortez to French revolutionary leader Robespierre.
