Audio of Ted Cruz Flip-Flopping on the Big Lie Is Leaked (VIdeo)

MSNBC’s Ari Melber debuted an audio recording of Senator Ted Cruz acknowledging that facts would be needed to prove any type of election fraud in 2020.

Cruz’s words in the audio recording — obtained by former Fox News producer turned whistleblower Abby Grossberg — conflicted with his public plea to investigate the ballot count out of consideration for those who felt it possible since Trump lost.

“It can’t just be, you know, somebody tweeted that there’s got to be demonstrable facts that can be laid out with evidence because that’s what a court of law is gonna look to, not just an allegation, but actual facts,” Cruz said in the recording of a call with Maria Bartiromo from Nov. 7, 2020. “And so I hope when Rudy comes on the show tomorrow, he had some of those facts, and I hope the legal team continues to lay out the specific evidence because that’s what it’s going to take to prevail in court.”
