Ted Cruz Gets Slammed After He Criticizes Biden for Not Uniting the Country

We are starting to see a little fire out of Joe Biden.

At the same time, we’re hearing fewer and fewer comments about the “imbecilic” and “feeble” president as Biden continues his “Sherman’s March” of a first term, which – as we’ve reported before – is one of the most consequential terms in a generation. Biden’s “Build Back Better” was so massive in scope that getting the “fraction” that he did will change the country.

The Democrats have the momentum now. The radical SCOTUS that overruled Roe v. Wade, which wasn’t even at issue in the Mississippi case, has made the impact of the MAGA movement more “real” to Americans everywhere. Suddenly, Americans feel the threat personally. And thus, it looks like the Democrats might very well keep the Senate, perhaps even making gains, while recent polling shows that, against all odds, the Democrats have a chance to keep the House. It would be almost miraculous and might be the recipe for keeping democracy post-2024.

Joe Biden knows it better than anyone and he’s on fire. He has abandoned the “moderate Joe Biden” who likes Republicans – though we’re sure he still prefers to get along with people over fighting – and now recognizes that “MAGA Republicans” are not the Republicans he knew as he climbed the ladder through government. This is a different animal, and Joe Biden doesn’t like it.

Given that the MAGA Republicans won’t even respect Biden’s victory, that seems only fair. And yet, for reasons passing understanding, Ted Cruz seems to be under the impression that they’re entitled to respect without regard for what they’ve said about Biden.

Well, that did it.
