Cruz was filmed using his phone while a former police chief testified about violence at the Capitol

Sen. Ted Cruz was filmed using his phone during Senate testimony from the former Capitol police chief who said that the riot "constituted the worst attack on law enforcement that I have ever seen."

The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs and Senates Rules committees on Tuesday heard evidence from current and former police officers into the events surrounding the deadly Washington riot on January 6, when a mob of pro-Trump supporters breached the Capitol building, resulting in at least five deaths.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was one of those who testified into the events surrounding the insurrection at the Capitol building. Sund in his written testimony said that the Capitol insurrection was carried out by "criminals" who "came prepared for war."

At that point, footage broadcast by C-SPAN cut to Sen. Cruz, who appeared to be typing on his phone.

You would think the guy would be well schooled about the concept of political optics by now, but he is either that stupid or that arrogant to not care.

He already knows how it went down. He was an instigator. An un-indicted co-conspirator. He should be called to testify about HIS actions on and before Jan 6th.
