Texas Senator Ted Cruz got into a heated exchange with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins this week over whether or not Cruz would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election.
Cruz told Collins it was a “ridiculous” question.
“You ever ask a Democrat that?” Cruz said.
“I know, I know, I’ve been down this road many times,” Collins responded. “You cannot compare the two situations. We have talked about that. We have seen the audio of that, when they protested on the Senate floor, but have you ever had a sitting president who refused to facilitate the peaceful transition of power?”
The exchange quickly escalated, with Cruz saying Collins’ claim was “absurd.”
“So you‘re asking will you promise, no matter what, to agree an election is [legitimate], regardless of what happens,” Cruz said. “And that would be an absurd thing to claim, like we have an entire election law system that people challenge elections, elections get overturned, voter fraud gets proven, that happens all the time, and the media engages in this weird game post-Donald Trump that you insist no voter fraud has ever existed.”
“Look, if the Democrats win, I will accept the result, but I’m not going to ignore fraud regardless of the result,” Cruz said.
