Senator Ted Cruz Slams Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes on their dangerous rhetoric

Published | Video Starts at 29:26

There were people who you could work across the aisle. You could reach common ground. There are a lot fewer of them. I mentioned, you know, Manchin and Sinema, who were the two most prominent moderates in the last Congress. They both got chased out of the Democrat Party. And I saw it happen. When it really happened was when Trump was elected in 2016, and he basically, I think, broke the brains of the Democrats. They just hate him. (29:26–29:34)
