I applaud Sen Lee for privately trashing Cruz and his seditious efforts to overturn the election late in DJT's seditious game prior to 1/6/21 but knowing Cruz like we have for years; my concern is why did it take Lee so long to learn what a pos Cruz is?
The 1/6 Committee is gathering more evidence, in which all roads lead to DJT. tick-tock.
"I have grave concerns with the way my friend Ted is going about this effort," Lee wrote to Meadows on January 3, according to CNN. "This will not inure to the benefit of the president."
Lee was referencing a movement led by Cruz to get state legislatures under Republican control to send alternative slates of electors or to suggest that they might do so. Trump went so far as to meet with the top two Republican leaders of Michigan's legislature. At the time, Cruz and Republican Sens. Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Steve Daines, John Kennedy, Marsha Blackburn, and Mike Braun suggested allowing a national commission to study fraud allegations and report their findings. State legislatures could then respond by proposing new slates of electors that could differ from their certified results.
Unlike Cruz or Sen. Josh Hawley, Lee did not end up voting to object to the certification of either Arizona or Pennsylvania's results. The Pennsylvania vote came in the early hours of January 7, after lawmakers reconvened following the violent Capitol riot.
