Media outlets were eager to push the false narrative that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, supported Nazi salutes on Thursday.
On Wednesday, liberal writer Aaron Rupar posted a clip of Cruz arguing with Attorney General Merrick Garland during a Senate committee hearing. During the clip, Cruz denounced the National School Board Association’s letter to the Biden administration that compared protesting parents to domestic terrorists.
One of Cruz’s criticisms included the fact that the NSBA cited parents giving Nazi salutes in mocking offense of school board members as a threat of violence. Cruz called out this action, noting that mock Nazi salutes to officials is protected speech.
