Ted Cruz begs and pleads for donations

as Dem challenger’s campaign heats up

Alex Henderson
April 05, 2024


History is repeating itself with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Snip

Now, as he seeks a third term, Cruz is sounding the alarm about another Democratic challenger: Colin Allred. A University of Texas, Tyler poll released in early March found Texas' 2024 U.S. Senate race to be a dead heat, with Cruz and Allred tied at 41 percent.

During a Wednesday, April 3 appearance on Sean Hannity's show, Cruz begged and pleaded for donations and warned Fox News viewers that Republicans shouldn't take Allred's campaign lightly.

Cruz argued, "The Democrats are coming after me. They are gonna spend more than $100 million this year. George Soros is already spending millions of dollars in the state of Texas…. My opponent, a liberal Democrat named Colin Allred, is outraising Beto O’Rourke, my last opponent, 3-to-1. They are flooding millions of dollars into Texas, and the reason is simple. You remember my last reelect, it was a three-point race. I won by 2.6 percent."

Nice anti-Semitic dog whistle there, Rafael. Let's talk about Harlan Crow and the billionaires that own you.

Son you really do not understand how much we loathe you. You have done nothing for us.

Don’t leave mad, just leave.

I had my doubts at first, because this is Texas, after all. The election is still a long way off, but this news brings me hope I didn't have before.

Allred is a really good opponent. We need to turn out the vote and get everyone to vote down ticket as well. Getting rid of Trump and Cruz would make my year.
