Ted Cruz says anti-Israel agitators descend on his home 'just about' every weekend
Republican Sen.Ted Cruz has recently shared a nightmare that he has to live "just about" every weekend, and it's something that most normal people could never imagine.
Anti-Israel protestors have gathered to shout slogans outside Cruz's home regularly since February.
The disruptions and protests are a result of Cruz's support for Israel in its war against Hamas, but the lawmaker has been adamant that he is NOT backing down.
According to Fox News, "The demonstrations came in response to Cruz's staunch support of Israel during the war and as the Texas senator railed against 'cultural Marxism' promoted in the classrooms of the nation's elite universities."
Cruz's office gave the senator's own opinion on the situation:
It doesn’t matter how long this anti-Israel, pro-terrorist harassment continues. Sen. Ted Cruz will continue to fight antisemitism and stand for Texas values. He’s proud to stand with Israel as the country fights to utterly eradicate Hamas for as long as it takes.
The latest incident happened on the night of June 14, as protestors caused a scene outside of Cruz's home for the 23rd time since Feb. 10.
"Photos and video show about a dozen protesters outside Cruz’s home Friday chanting and clapping while holding signs," according to Fox News.
Cruz posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, about what it's been like dealing with this, writing, "For the past 6 months, anti-Israel protestors have come to my home just about every Sat morning at 7 am and most Fri nights until 10 or 11 pm. They scream, disturb the peace & wake the neighbors. No matter how much these antisemites cheer Hamas, I will stand with Israel."
