The Republican senator responded to Chris Wallace's hyper-partisan attacks on him over the ongoing investigation of wide-spread fraud in the just concluded presidential election.
Ted Cruz is among President Trump's allies who have spoken up against the alleged fraudulent practices which plagued the election. The senator supports Trump campaign's legal challenges to the election outcomes in various Democrat-run states.
“It would seem to me that Republicans on Capitol Hill have a role to play in this," Wallace said on Sunday. "A very few of them have said, look, you pursue your legal options, but, you know, damp down the rhetoric, like Mitt Romney, like Pat Toomey.
“There are a lot who are just silent. And then there are some, I mentioned Ted Cruz, you know, who are like the Japanese soldiers who come out 30 years after the war, out of the jungle, and say, ‘Is the fight still going on?'”
Conservative radio and Fox News host Mark Levin was not having it. He scolded Wallace in a tweet. "This is way out of line," he wrote. "Keep your politics to yourself, Mr. Journalist. You’re not just showing ankle, you’ve undressed yourself."
Quote-tweeting Levin, Cruz piled-on: "Chris Wallace, who beclowned himself with a shamefully biased debate performance—universally panned—continues to demonstrate his rank partisanship. Urging that we follow the law & that election recounts be actually completed is not somehow undermining democracy."
Speaking to Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo earlier, Sunday, Cruz said that Trump “still has a path to victory and that path is to count every single legal vote that was cast, but also not to count any votes that were fraudulently cast or illegally cast.”
