Talk about looking like a complete fool. That was (news reporter?) Maria Shriver on Friday afternoon, after the country learned the results of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
Texas conservative Senator Ted Cruz went in on Maria and basically, he caught a body. Cruz absolutely shredded the ex-wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And she was completely helpless.
LOOK:
The idea that someone could be out with a semi-automatic weapon, kill people, and walk is stunning. I look forward to hearing from the jury. This is a moment for them to explain how they came to their decision.

Enter Ted Cruz…
1/x Pretty stunning that she’s an @nbc anchor. She “doesn’t have an answer.” Try this:
(1) He WAS charged with six counts. That thing that just finished was his trial.
(2) A jury of his peers found him not guilty.
(3) Why? The defense argued he was engaged in self-defense. https://t.co/iUYSpfnVlG

2/x (4) What facts support self defense?
– the three people shot all chased him, assaulted him and/or tried to grab his gun
– ALL THREE were convicted felons (on served 15 years for child molesting)
– the defense argued Rittenhouse feared for his life

3/x (5) You might personally disagree, but the jury heard evidence & presumably concluded he was acting to defend himself from what he reasonably perceived to be an imminent threat to his life.
(6) Also, ALL THREE of the people shot were White (contrary to false media reports).

4/x (7) Generally “white supremacists” don’t shoot White people.
(8) Numerous Dem politicians & corporate media outlets (including your employer and especially @msnbc) recklessly alleged he was a white supremacist.
(9) NO evidence was adduced at trial to support that claim.

5/x (10) A whole bunch of those corrupt media outlets are now retaining defamation lawyers, because they’re ALL about to get sued—and the liability could well be massive. @mariashriver hope that helps!
