Sen. Ted Cruz Tells CPAC: 'Don't Ever Apologize to the Woke Mob'
Denouncing politics of fear, big government, and the "woke mob," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, delivered a fiery speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday in Orlando, Florida.
Fight the power, do not apologize to the woke mob, and use your voice were Cruz's three admonitions to conservatives, the second delivering his most animated remarks.
"Don't ever apologize to the woke mob," Cruz said, starting calmly before growing demonstrative. "It doesn't work. They are not engaged in rational discourse. They are not actually offended by whatever idiocy they're whining about about that moment.
"They want to destroy you. They want to silence you. They want to subjugate you. Respond with joy. Laugh at them. It drives them bananas."
Cruz rebuked cancel culture, calling "leftists the least funny people on planet Earth."
"'You can't say that; you can't do that; no, no! I don't like that,'" Cruz said, mocking those feigning being offended. "Like, shut the hell up!"
Cruz's first message to conservatives began with "big is bad."
"You've got to understand what is playing out here," Cruz said. "What is playing out is the powerful are afraid. They are terrified of you. They look out at the men and women in this room and you scare the living crap out of them.
"They are afraid of truth. They are afraid of liberty. That fear is driving a principle, a very simple principle for conservatives to understand: Big is bad. Across the board: Big government sucks; big business sucks; Big Tech, big Hollywood, big universities.
"Any accumulation of power that is centralized is fundamentally dangerous for individual liberty."
Cruz added the "communists want centralized power," and noted the White House and press secretary Jen Psaki have effectively asked Big Tech to silence dissent, and their liberal allies in big business have obliged.
Also, Democrats are no longer the party of the working class, Cruz said, noting the fight against the truckers' protest in Canada was broken up by authoritarian measures under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"The workers of the world had a revolt, and the left is p*****," Cruz said.
"Fight power," he continued. "Fight big government. Fight big business. Fight Big Tech. Fight big Hollywood. Fight big universities. Fight the centralization of power. Break it up. Break Big Tech up into a million little pieces."
Cruz's third message was for conservatives to boldly "speak out; use your voice."
"We are taking this country back from the lunatic, socialist left that is trying to destroy our freedom," he said. "Change is coming. It is powerful."
Pointing to the power of change, Cruz mentioned the phenomenon of conservatives speaking out against President Joe Biden with a rally cry that has consumed stadiums in traditionally liberal bastions like New England at a Patriots game.
"Find me one person on planet Earth who does not know what 'Let's Go Brandon' means," Cruz concluded.
"A wave is coming. We are taking our country back.
"Together, we will save this great nation."

Had one of these "woke" knuckle heads call me "homophobic" in a Satire piece for poking fun at the guy who is the Assistant HHS Secretary.
They can't even get their definitions straight.
They don’t care as long as we all worship at the cancel culture woke alter. Not going to happen.
They guy playing make believe woman who in Pa. got his mom out of a nursing home before ordering the covid patients there…
Uh, oh.
This seed will be like a bat-signal for liberals to start making Cancun Ted jokes in 3....2.......1............................................
Let em! Who cares? What he said in the speech and most of the time cuts them to the quick inside and they know they have nothing to say to counter the points he makes.
CPAC was such a breath of fresh air and a reinvigoration
Besides they can take on gov. De Santis too on his addressing the woke gang.
The vast majority of progressive Democrats like myself reject Muslim extremists views just as much as Christian extremist views. If Muslims who live here want to view homosexuality as a sin and choose not to be homosexual then that is their right, just like Christians who do the same. If any of the Muslims that have been elected ever started trying to pass laws banning homosexuality or gay marriage we would fight them just as vociferously.
The vast majority of progressive Democrats like myself condemn violence, vandalism, looting and rioting.
Conservative Christians are the ones nowadays demanding their safe space on campus.
No one is being fired for not being "woke", some are being fired for being exposed as bigots, misogynists or sexual predators.
If someone physically attacks you because they claim you're not "woke" then press charges, get them arrested and convicted of assault. It doesn't matter what side of the political divide you're on, violence is unacceptable.
Again, riot's have been condemned over and over and over by progressive Democrats, I'm getting rather tired of having to keep saying it because it clearly falls on deaf and dumb ears.
Taking over private property is illegal and those doing so should be arrested. Those taking over public spaces, parks, sidewalks and even streets have a right to protest whether they're a right wing conservative Christian wearing their hood or BLM.
Again, the vast majority of progressive Democrats condemn the looting and burning and have called for anyone caught doing such things should be arrested and charged to the fullest extent of the law. Right wing conservatives just love painting the over 81 million Americans who voted for Biden as law breaking looting arsonist criminals when nothing could be further from the truth. The bullshit claim that those on the left condone violence, looting and arson is nothing but a long dead horse that for some reason fucking morons can't stop beating.
There were 114,000 people arrested during the Floyd protests with over 90% being arrested for non-violent 'trespassing' or 'failure to disperse' who were often released without charges. Of those who were arrested at the 7% of protests that turned into riots with violence, vandalism, looting and arson there have over 10,000 that were arrested and charged including some being charged with murder.
The claim that members of the "woke club" get out of jail without charges can only be seen as accurate if you accept that none of those thousands arrested and charged with violence, vandalism, looting or arson were woke which would appear to be the case. If anyone is out using violence, vandalism, looting or arson to get their way then they clearly can't be described as being "alert to injustice in society" considering burning down some random business or breaking in and looting is clearly unjust.
how many arrested and so charged relating to Jan 6 largely peaceful protest were released without charges?
