The GOP needs to wake up.
During a recent interview with Fox News, Sen. Ted Cruz stated that the Republican Party needs to grow a backbone and fight back against corporate America.
According to Breitbart, Cruz stated, ā[I] think wokeness is trying to destroy America, and weāre seeing whether itās the corporate media or big business, we are seeing woke corporations that are engaged as the political enforcers of the radical left, and are trying to silence or trying to cancel. Theyāre trying to punish American citizens, and I think it is profoundly dangerous.ā
Cruz then said, āLook, weāve got to grow a backbone. Weāve got to stand up to big business, and weāve got to take on Big Tech. Weāve got to use the antitrust laws to break up Big Tech to go after them for abusing their monopoly power. This week, I wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on big companies and woke corporations, and I made a commitment this week that I am no longer accepting even one penny from any corporate PAC. Over nine years in the Senate, corporate PACs have given me about $2.6 million. But I said enough is enough. These guys are corrupt. Theyāre lying to the American people. Theyāre fighting the American people. Theyāve declared the American people are their enemy.”
