'Reckless and irresponsible': Cruz slams Trump's post-election rhetoric on 'massive fraud'

Sen. Ted Cruz is now criticizing former President Donald Trump’s behavior following his November election loss, even though he pushed similar claims and voted against certifying the election results in President Biden’s favor.

Earlier this month, Cruz led a group of 11 senators calling for the appointment of an “electoral commission” with full investigatory authority to carry out a 10-day emergency audit of the Nov. 3 election results in the states where Trump and his allies alleged fraud prior to certification. But on Jan. 23, Cruz called the president’s repeated claims of a “stolen” election “reckless and irresponsible” on his podcast, Verdict.
