Ted Cruz was absolutely prepared to talk to reporters following Tuesday’s impeachment hearings, but he wasn’t exactly ready to answer the questions that they were asking. Cruz delivered what appeared to be a very well-rehearsed diatribe about Joe and Hunter Biden, but reporters demanded answers about impeachment witnesses, including John Bolton, and Cruz got into a fairly angry exchange with the reporter as a result. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this. Link -

Yesterday, Ted Cruz following the impeachment trial in the Senate was more than willing to talk to reporters. In fact, he seemed eager to go and talk to reporters. That is of course, until they started asking him the tough questions like, are you going to allow witnesses at the trial? Are you going to call John Bolton to come tell us what he knows? And at that point, Ted Cruz kind of lost it for a moment, moment, but he regained his composure. Here's what happened.
Senator Cruz, pleasure to see you. Let me ask you a quick question, is there any logical reason not to have Bolton testify?
This afternoon was devastating for the House managers. For the first time in the entire proceeding, we have heard just the beginning of the serious evidence of corruption involving Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that paid a Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, $1 million a year.
So why not have?
While Joe Biden. Let me answer, I'll answer the question.
Could you answer the question. I, appreciate it. Thank you.
Let me answer the question without interrupting me please.
You got it.
So I want to stop right there. We're going to get to more of that clip in just a second, but I want to stop right there because Ted, you were asked a very specific question by that reporter. You're going to allow John Bolton to come and testify? And here you are going into this diatribe that was clearly well-rehearsed, like you clearly had practiced that. Even your mannerisms seemed scripted in that response. Well, let me tell you a little story that I just learned about Joe and Hunter Biden and Burisma. Okay, yeah dude, nobody, nobody asked you about that. They asked you a specific question. It was your job to answer that and instead you wanted to tell the story you wanted to tell, then you got mad at the reporter for interrupting you when you were already not answering his question. And later on after he went through this whole Hunter and Joe Biden and Burisma diatribe, he did eventually, I guess, you could call it, answer the reporter's question. Here it is.
So why not have Bolton testify? You said you'd answer the question. You said. Hold on. Hold on, Andrew. Let him answer the question. I did ask a question, why?
So I, I get that the press loves to obsess over the latest bombshell. Listen, I don't know what John Bolton's book says or doesn't say. I've seen the New York Times coverage, but at the end of the day, it doesn't impact the legal issue before this Senate. The legal issue before this Senate is whether a president has the authority to investigate corruption. So the House managers built their entire case on the proposition that investigating Burisma corruption, investigating the Bidens for corruption was baseless and a sham. Hold on, let me finish this.
