Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned Republicans not to dismiss the power of public opposition while talking to the media about this weekend’s “No Kings” protests across the country.
“Unquestionably, we should take political peril seriously,” Cruz told Bloomberg Television on Monday, adding, “There is a lot of energy. There is a lot of anger on the left. And elections can be dangerous when one side is mobilized, is angry.”
According to organizers, 2,700 rallies denouncing President Donald Trump’s regime took places across the United States, reportedly drawing around 7 million people.
Cruz appears to be one of the few voices in the GOP who seem to be taking widespread outrage from its political critics seriously.
The president mocked the protests with a gross-out AI video of him dumping feces on the crowds, later calling the rallies “very small and very ineffective.”
