Ted Cruz Says Republicans Are Scared Be On Tucker Carlson's Bad Side

"Many of them are frightened because he has one hell of a big megaphone," the Texas senator observed.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Friday that some of his GOP colleagues are too “frightened” to join him in criticizing Tucker Carlson’s interview with white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
Cruz made the remarks at the Federalist Society’s National Lawyers Convention in Washington, D.C., saying other Republicans quietly agree with him that Carlson should be rebuked for his podcast interview with the Holocaust denier but are scared to ruffle the feathers of such an influential voice in right-wing media.
“It’s easy right now to denounce Nick Fuentes. That’s kind of safe. Are you willing to say Tucker’s name?” Cruz asked.
“Now I can tell you, my colleagues, almost to a person, think what is happening is horrifying,” he continued. “But a great many of them are frightened because he has one hell of a big megaphone.”
