Ted Cruz and Complicit Texas Republicans Must Resign
On Sunday, January 17, 2021 - the SDEC met in a special meeting to pass a resolution asking for the resignation of Ted Cruz as well as other Texas Republican elected officials that were complicit in spearheading or participating in efforts to block the certification of the 2020 presidential election results and subsequently continuing to repeat false accusations of election fraud. As you know, the January 6th, 2021 riot, and storming of the US Capitol by Trump supporters will go down in history as a very dark day for American democracy. Leaving 5 dead, including a Capitol police officer, and over 200+ charged, it is very important that the SDEC and the Texas Democratic Party take a stand with a few resolutions.
SD10 SDEC Committeewoman, Libby Willis, brought forth the resolution to the Resolutions Committee to ask for Ted Cruz to resign. Then Andre’ Treiber - DNC Youth brought forth an additional resolution asking for the resignation of additional Republican officials that continued to either 1) Continue to Vote to block the electoral college certification and/or 2) aid and abetting Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election.
Both Resolutions can be seen here:
