Cruz claims that just because he helped lead the effort to stop Congress from certifying Biden's win doesn’t mean he’s responsible for Wednesday’s violence. Some of his already vocal critics disagree, and are calling on Cruz to resign and repent.
At one event Thursday organized by the Houston Socialist Movement, the People’s New Black Panther Party and Houston United Front Against Fascism, demonstrators waved signs and hung posters in front of Cruz’s downtown office labeling him a “WHITE NATIONALIST COWARD,” and “TRAITOR.” Other protesters focused on the need to "RESIST TRUMP" and remove the president from office immediately.
