Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is drowning in hometown backlash after stoking a violent coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol as yet another Texas newspaper is now calling for his removal from the Senate.

On Saturday, the San Antonio Express-News called for Donald Trump to be impeached and Cruz to face expulsion after Wednesday’s attack in D.C.

During the 2016 Republican primary, Ted Cruz called Donald Trump a “sniveling coward” after he attacked his wife, Heidi Cruz. In the past, the Texas senator has also called Trump “utterly amoral” and a “pathological liar.”

But once Trump took office, it didn’t take long for Cruz to hitch his wagon to the president and pledge his allegiance to the MAGA flag.

The Texas senator’s decision to go all in for Trump culminated this week in a violent attack carried out by MAGA insurrectionists – an attack inspired by Cruz, Trump, and other GOP lawmakers like Josh Hawley.

Ted Cruz made a bet that attaching himself at the hip with Donald Trump – even in the midst of an attack at the U.S. Capitol – would benefit his future in Republican politics.

With five people dead and D.C. still reeling from this week’s MAGA attack, it doesn’t look like Ted Cruz’s bet is paying off.

If “radical left” equals “things that I don’t like”, then they sure are. Keen observation

Once again it’s wrong to call for removal. He represented the people, when it’s time for reelection if they aren’t happy they won’t vote for him. But we need to stop cancel culture it’s getting old. You say the wrong thing, wear the wrong clothes, your canceled. It’s Cruz right now..one day it could be you

These are scary times. The Left is completely unhinged.

I guess being opposed to violent attacks on Democracy and the murder of law enforcement is radical left now.

Correct.

They can smell "total power" and are not going to let anything stand in their way.

You beat me to it. There are two sides - "Trump Sycophants and Yes-men", and the "Radical Left".

I doubt it. I have better sense than to try to overthrow the government for cheap political points. Trump called Ted's father a communist who fought for Castro, and called his wife ugly. If Cruz had a spine, Trump would still be looking for his teeth. Instead, Ted spends his days polishing Trump's shoes with his tongue

He should be removed from office solely for his disgusting display of obsequiousness.

I agree with both statements. There will, however, come a tipping and correction point.
