The George W. Bush Project

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) doesn’t FALL for Bill Maher’s FEAR MONGERING about Republicans never accepting elections and GIVES him a BRUTAL reality check by correctly pointing out when Democrat Al Gore REFUSED to accept the outcome of the 2000 election after he LOST in Florida. Maher conveniently wants to move on right as he starts losing the argument. “Well, let's not talk about the 2000 election.” Bill Maher: “Okay, so we have an election coming up. Are you confident that it's going to go fair and square? Because I remember when you won Iowa against Trump in 2016, and the first thing you said was, you cheated. It seems like there's a little pattern. That when he loses, he just says the vote isn't fair. That's where your party is now. Are you going to fight up against that?” Ted Cruz: “Well, look, to be fair, the Democrat Party is there, too. I was also part of George W. Bush's campaign when Al Gore brought litigation challenging Florida in 2000.” Bill Maher: “For good reason.” Ted Cruz: “Why he lost. What was the good reason?” Bill Maher: “Well, the Supreme Court said he lost.” Ted Cruz: “Well, so did every time they counted the ballots. They counted the ballots four times in Florida.”
