New Audio Shows Ted Cruz Scheming to Steal 2020 Election

MSNBC aired more whistleblower audio of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Tuesday, this time dissecting a tape that appears to feature him plotting to overthrow the 2020 election—well before the events of Jan. 6.
The revelations come courtesy of Fox whistleblower Abby Grossberg, who provided the tapes to MSNBC host Ari Melber.
According to the files, Cruz reportedly tried to sell his plan to Fox host and Trump ally Maria Bartiromo on Jan. 2—four days before the Capitol riot—pitching a scheme to overthrow the 2020 election by blocking the certification of Joe Biden’s win on Jan. 6, then establishing a commission to investigate the nonexistent claims of fraud which would ultimately “decide” who to inaugurate.
“As we were looking at this Jan. 6 certification, all of the options that were being discussed were problematic,” Cruz explains.
“And so I wanted to find a path that was consistent with the Constitution and the law, and that address these very real serious claims.”
Airing the audio, Melber explains that when Bartiromo asks Cruz who would eventually decide who gets inaugurated under his plan, “Cruz answers that this fake, made up, so-called commission that he and his Trump buddies were planning to try to create to bureaucratize a coup—and that’s what they were trying to do—that was his answer, that’s how they would steal this race.”
The claims in the recording add detail to previous statements made by the Texas Republican—who the same day as his phone call with Bartiromo released a statement outlining a bare-bones plan to challenge the 2020 election results on Jan. 6.
