Rep. Matt Gaetz Hits Sen. Cruz Over His Calling Jan. 6 Protesters at U.S. Capitol 'Terrorists'

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) hit Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) over comments he made calling election integrity protesters who demonstrated in and around the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 “terrorists.”

Gaetz appeared with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) at a press conference where both lawmakers addressed Cruz’s shameful and pathetic remarks.

“I think Sen. Cruz is smart enough to know, since he’s an attorney, that nobody has been charged with terrorism, just like nobody has been charged with insurrection. I think that was very irresponsible of him to call them terrorists, and I completely disagree,” Greene said.
