Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas fired back at the
exhortation from pro-Trump attorney L. Lin Wood to Republicans
to boycott the Senate runoff election in Georgia until officials
change election security policies.
Wood and Sidney Powell, the attorney who represented Gen. Mike
Flynn, called for voters to boycott the runoff election that would
determine control of the U.S. Senate and could keep Democrats from
seizing all three branches of government.
Cruz pushed back and called Wood a “clown” in a missive sent
Thursday.

“I don’t know who this clown is, but anyone saying America would
be better off w/ Chuck Schumer as Majority Leader—producing huge
tax increases, the Green New Deal, massive amnesty & a packed
Supreme Court destroying the Bill of Rights—is trying to mislead
the people of Georgia,” tweeted Cruz.
He added in a second tweet, “it’s almost as if…he’s a
Democrat.”
Cruz linked to a video showing Wood
preaching to a crowd in a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on
Wednesday and telling them that the Republican candidates for the
Senate runoff elections had not earned their vote.
“Don’t not be fooled twice, this is Georgia, we ain’t dumb!”
said Wood to loud applause.
He went on to demand that the candidates publicly and repeatedly
call for a special session of the Georgia legislature to address
the accusations of voter fraud in the presidential election.
“They have not earned your vote. Don’t you give it to them,” he
continued. “Why would you go back and vote in another rigged
election for God’s sake! Fix it! You gotta fix it before we’ll do
it again!”
Wood had gained notoriety for
representing Nicholas Sandmann, the teenager who had been
smeared by national news outlets publicizing a misleading video of
his interaction with a liberal protester in Washington, D.C. He
also took up the
defense of Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager
who shot and killed two Black Lives Matter protesters in
Kenosha, Michigan, after they attacked him during a protest.
Wood
also said that he would sue the Biden campaign for a political
advertisement video that implied Rittenhouse was a white
supremacist.
