Ted Cruz broke a fascist rule,

By admitting the truth about what happened on Jan 6th, and calling trump followers terrorists. Fascist never accept the truth, science, or the rule of law when it doesn't benefit them. They never accept the facts and instead make up their own reality. Cruz screwed up and admitted on camera the truth, and you can bet if there wasn't a tape of it he would be claiming he never said it now.
He just screwed himself for a run again for the president, and maybe tuned off enough trumpers to not return as a Senator from Texas from losing their votes. He gave Democrats an opening to replace him for this, and that Democrat running against him should remind them what he called them , over and over again.

Fascists never admit they were ever wrong about anything. Their main appeal comes from coming across as strong, and apologizing is seen as weakness among their kind.

He may be playing the odds. After the public hearings a majority of Americans will know the details of what exactly happened. A mad man beckoned a mob and then stoked them and pointed them to the Capitol of the country.. Cruz may try to pivot back to the anti-Trump of the 2016 RNC.

He'll be implicated with conspiring, and exposed for numerous things criminally, I believe. He's very corrupt, so his time is coming.

He no doubt knows how bad things are in terms of information gathered and wants to get ahead of it.

Or he knows there is damaging information about himself soon to be released.
