Sens. Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson go on defensive after rejecting election results [View all]

Source: New York Daily News

Republican senators who object to the November presidential election results went on the defensive Sunday, with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) urging his critics to “calm down.”

“We need to tone down the rhetoric. This is already a volatile situation. It’s like a tinderbox and throwing lit matches into it,” he said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Cruz also moaned that Democrats are “urging that I should be arrested and tried for sedition and treason,” without providing any examples.

The pity party came after Cruz became the most prominent pol to say over the weekend he would reject the election results.
