CNN's Jake Tapper shames Ted Cruz during certification: 'Helped cause what happened'
Raw StoryCNN's Jake Tapper reminded viewers exactly who was responsible for the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots as part of the network's coverage of Monday's certification of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. Tapper was joined by anchors Kaitlan Collins and John King, as well as former Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, Marc Short. "There's Ted Cruz, Senator from Texas, who was one of the main individuals who helped cause what happened four years ago by putting forward the falsehood that the vice president could somehow do something to stop the electoral count," Tapper said. Kaitlan Collins jumped in, "Ted Cruz, obviously, was the first senator to object, and, obviously, just looking back on this, what the vice president maintained at the time, as Marc knows well, is he did not have the power to block the certification on this day four years ago." "Marc Short, are you able to look at Ted Cruz without thinking about January 6th?"
