Ted Cruz Hid In A Closet On Jan 6th

Cruz and other Senators retreated to a back room, because the Capitol Police told them to get out of the Senate Chambers. 

I realize that your first instinct would be to find the nearest skirt or pantsuit and use that woman as a shield, but I'll ask again, where should a prudent person Go?  

Please explain.  
"Cruz and other Senators retreated to a back room, because the Capitol Police told them to get out of the Senate Chambers."
No, Cruz chose to cower in a closet while another like him, Josh Hawley, ran away from what they instigated...

I have no doubt that the headline writers (p.s. and Rod, see immediately above) want to conjure an image of Cruz cowering like a child in a dark closet.  It appears that a more accurate version of events is that the Capital Police directed Cruz and others to a secure back room, (a closet actually) where he had a meeting with like-minded Senators while waiting the riot out.  They obviously had a lot to talk and worry about.  

The media bias does not bother me nearly as much as it bothers you.  The Guardian is well known to be left of center and is obviously anti-Cruz.  It is relatively easy to just consider the source and presume that outlets like the Guardian will paint Cruz in as bad a light as they think they can get away with.  Same with right leaning or hard right outlets, but obviously in the other direction. 

For what it is worth, I wish that the media was without political bias and that there were outlets where you could trust the media to vigorously and honestly pursue the truth on political topics, no mater where it leads.  On a lot of topics, I do trust the media.  Just not on politics.  I wish it were not this way, but as Mike Rosen often said, I wish I was taller too!  Jim
The bottom line is that Cruz and his ilk were in a back room closet replete with stacked chairs because of their own actions. No amount of tap-dancing around it changes that fact. They reaped what they sowed. And, because of that, and Trump, our democracy is clearly under threat in our country...

And Josh Hawley didn't run away either, I suppose...

Words matter.   

The biased articles you linked are as usual putting their spin on the situation.

And I'll ask for a 3rd time, where would YOU suggest they should have gone when the Capitol Police told them they needed to evacuate?

Where would you have gone if you were in their shoes, Captain Marvel?

Please inform us all.  
Unlike Cruz who ducked into a closet, Mitt Romney and other senators went, instead, to a senate hearing room to wait it out. "This is what the president has caused today, instigating this — this insurrection," Romney told his colleagues in the Senate hearing room.

Is Pennsylvania really going to elect this bozo?

Even on a bad day, Fetterman is far more competent than Walker and always will be...

"The Fetterman campaign’s response to the debate was quick."  
"Shortly after midnight, a campaign spokesman announced it raised more than $1 million in the three hours post-debate."

 And that just proves my point that the Leftist Democrat party isn't interested in their constituents.  

 They would vote in a turnip, which is at this point, the level of competency of John Fetterman.

 He is basically an invalid, who should be hospitalized for his condition, but his family and the Democrat party obviously do not give a shit about his well-being, since they aren't getting him the medical services he so obviously needs.
  
 Not a shocker in the least.  Its the Democrat party after all, drunk with the power they have.  
Keep dishing out your boatload of ----, Rich. His physician has issued a statement that he's qualified to work. Making light of his recovery is something you'd stoop to do. Oz, "the fraud", really mucked himself up last night with this boner, "local politicians" to decide the abortion issue!

That  leftist Bullshit that you use learned like the monkey you are, from your leftist masters won't work with me. 

I said the guy is in sad shape and should be in a nursing home recovering. 

I noticed that you and the left never did stop making commentary about Donald Trump and using the 25th amendment.

Aside from his obvious inability to form cogent sentences, which indicates in spades, his inability to serve as a United States Senator, making decisions in Congress which will affect the entire nation is his far left agenda which is complete whack job nuts. 

He's a radical loon who said flat out that he wants to empty out prisons to the tune of 1/3 of all criminals.  

He's a complete nutjob with his leftist agenda.  He's the Bernie Sanders of Pennsylvania.  

His answers were mostly jibberish, just  repeating the same thing over and over again.  He made not one ounce of sense most of the time.  

His cognitive abilities are extremely impaired and he couldn't make a decision on his own to save his life at this point.

But as I said, the Democrats don't give a shit about his health, all they care about is power.  They always have and they always will.  

At this point, he's done, unless the early voting in Penn. puts him over the top. 

His mind is in bad shape and if you can't recognize that, then you are either a liar or a moron.  

By the way, thinking of my Immediately previous sentence above, the 2nd choice is pretty much a redundant one when it comes to you.

P.S.  What's next?  Are you going to play the race card w/me?
What a crock! BTW, the serious discussion about invoking the 25th came from Trump's own staff: "his cabinet members were discussing invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office."   https://news.yahoo.com/trump-was-alerted-cabinet-looked-at-using-25th-amendment-after-jan-6-aide-testifies-234627087.html

You remember, the hearing where the actual Secr. Serv. agents said she was making up everything about her lie that Trump tried to "grab the wheel" in the Presidential limosine.

She's full of shit and you present an article where the sole assertions about the 25th are made by her.  

She's not part of his cabinet and she isn't credible. 

YOUR side of the aisle, virtually every leftist pundit out there on MSDNC and CNN were screaming like the morons they are about invoking the 25th amendment.  

Your Democrat politicians were making the charge, so your lame, pathetic assertion that Trump's stuff was speaking about it is bullshit, like all of your other crapola.

Got anything else, aside from your mental delusions?   
Hutchinson has not been proven to be a liar by any stretch of the imagination. YOUS ASSERTIONS ARE CRAP: She is not the "sole person" as you claim: as per the link:
"Fox News host Sean Hannity spoke with Trump later that day and let him know that he was facing potential removal from office via the 25th Amendment or impeachment".  "Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who at the time was laying the groundwork for his own possible White House bid, telling Meadows that the other Cabinet members were actively debating invoking the 25th Amendment." "Indeed, former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos told USA Today, later that she had discussed invoking the 25th Amendment with Pence, but that Pence had shot down the idea."
“I wanted to get a better understanding of the law itself and see if it was applicable in this case. There were more than a few people who had those conversations internally,” DeVos told USA Today. She later concluded it would be unlikely to work and resigned on Jan. 7, 2021."
Finally, the secret service agents have not appeared to testify under oath to dispute anything Hutchinson said while she was under oath. Typical Rich Davis HS all over again!
