Cruz Deletes Tweet With Claim Mounted Canadian Police Trampling Killed Protester

Ted Cruz Deletes Tweet With Claim Mounted Canadian Police Trampling Killed Protester, After Daniel Dale Calls Him Out

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) deleted a tweet on Saturday amplifying an inaccurate report that a protester in Canada died at a hospital due to trampling by a Canadian police horse amid trucker protests against Covid vaccine requirements.

Fox News contributor Sara Carter tweeted on Friday that “reports are the woman trampled by a Canadian horse patrol just died at the hospital.”

She issued a correction on Saturday that stated what she was told “from sources on the ground that someone may have died at a hospital during the trampling was wrong.”

“Someone was taken to a hospital with a heart condition -not due to trampling,” Carter added. “I want to clarify this again and apologize for any confusion.”

...........







BTW, the horse deserves an apology Ted.

the horse was smart enough to not put any weight on that hoof. They are highly intelligent and caring animals, more than I can say about a guy who leaves his poodle to go to Cancun during a winter storm.

Better hope he doesn't return to run for office there.

Rafael Edward Cruz was born on December 22, 1970, at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. per Wiki

inside information about what's going on in his native land.


But, one would be wrong, because Cruz couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions printed on the heel.

I can see how concerned you are about the country you abandoned.
Apparently, you're an expert on Canadian law, and you like insurrection where ever it occurs.

For people who grew up without horses, they can be overwhelming. No surprise they impact crowds We used then to play on whenever we could, just a bunch of little kids entertaining themselves in the barn, climbing up the manger, grabbing the mane, swinging up on their backs, scooting back and sliding of the back of the rump, then once around again and again.. I learned to handle a team of horses before I was six so I'd feel quite comfortable near them, but police horses aren't necessarily like the gentle giants we played with.
