Ted Cruz clashes with 'The View' hosts over Democrats questioning election results

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called out what he called Democratic hypocrisy on election denialism and political violence on 'The View.'

"The View" panel erupted on Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Monday after he confronted the hosts about election deniers and political violence on the left.

The Republican was initially heckled by environmental protesters within the audience before co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin grilled him about the January 6 Capitol Hill riot and whether he viewed President Biden as legitimately elected. Cruz confirmed that Biden was the president before calling out "The View" and the media for giving Democrats a pass for floating "stolen election" claims.

"There are a lot of folks in the media that try to, any time a Republican is in front of a TV camera try to say, ‘the election was fair and square and legitimate.’ You know who y'all don't do that to? You don't do it to Hillary Clinton who stood up and said, ‘Trump stole the election.’ You don't do it to Stacey Abrams who said the election was 'stolen.’ They sat here and said it was illegitimate and you guys were fine with it!" he said.

Before Cruz could finish speaking, the hosts tried to talk over him.

Whoopi Goldberg said, "That's right! It was!" after Cruz cited Clinton and Abrams' statements about stolen races.

Cruz confronted Goldberg on her apparent hypocritical stance. "Oh, so it's illegitimate when Republicans win, but not when Democrats win?" he asked before she cut in again.

Goldberg argued it was different for Democrats because they "don't storm," referring to the January 6 Capitol riot.

"We don't do that," she insisted.

Again, Cruz sought to flip the host's accusations.

"Whoopi, did I miss an entire year of Antifa riotswhere cities across this country were burning and police cars were being fired upon?" he asked.

As he was speaking Goldberg denied knowing what the senator was referring to, saying "I don't know what an Antifa riot is."

"Your position is the left doesn't engage in violence, really?" he scoffed.

The discussion continued to spiral out of control, with the hosts defending Clinton and Abrams, while Cruz quoted Clinton questioning the legitimacy of both the 2000 and 2016 election results.
