Three House Democrats from Texas have called on party leaders in the U.S. Senate to back the expulsion of a member of their state s congressional delegation, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, for what they term seditious behavior related to the insurrectionist mob that overran the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Signed by Reps. Veronica Escobar, Joaquin Castro, and Sylvia Garcia all from Texas a Friday letter addressed to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (who are soon to exchange titles) argued that it is evident that Senator Cruz echoed [President] Trump s false voter fraud claims for political gain, going so far as sending a fundraising plea during the armed stand-off in the Capitol where members of Congress, staff, and journalists were held hostage for hours.
