Mr Scarborough criticised Republican senators, including Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Lindsey Graham, for asking people to forget about the Capitol violence. Mr Scarborough stated that “Ted Cruz wants us to forget because he led the sedition along with Josh Hawley.” “You are out of your mind and you are not a conservative.
