Fox News host Tucker Carlson publically called Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) out on Thursday night in a heated exchange, telling him that he doesn’t believe he made a mistake when he called the Jan. 6 Capitol riot a “violent terrorist attack.”

Cruz attempted to walk back his comments, calling them “dumb.” Carlson wasn’t buying it and raked Cruz over the coals for it, basically calling him a liar. He also asserted that the Texas senator was parroting Democratic talking points put forth by Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday.

“We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week,” Cruz stated previously. “And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage, incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this Capitol.”
