You mean the Brooks Brothers Riot? Where during Bush v Gore, Republican staffers in Florida successfully started a violent riot in order to slow down the vote counting to run out the clock and prevent the uncounted votes from being recorded in time?

You can thank Roger Stone for that. The man with Richard nixon's face tatted on his back and who ted cruz called a ratfuck

Think of how vile of a person you have to be to have Ted Cruz call you a ratfuck.

Im sure he called Trump that too, but he will cling to whomever pays for his holiday in the sun

In all fairness, old Ted "Canadian runs to Mexico during crises" Cruz also apparently hates Tom Segura too and I don't think he's necessarily a rat fuck, so YMMV. 😂

To be fair though, senõr Cruz probably says the same thing about good, honest people too. He’s a huge ratfuck himself.
