  • Ted Cruz’s Podcast Looks Like A Seriously Sleazy Side Hustle
    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 04/28/2024 - 09:44 AM

    On Friday night, MSNBC host Chris Hayes explained why Sen. Ted Cruz’s thrice-weekly podcast “appears to be a serious ethical and campaign-finance scandal in the making.” First, Hayes pointed out that recording three podcast episodes a week is a big chunk of time away from what is supposed to be Cruz’s full-time job: representing and serving the second-most populous state in the country.

    Former Attorney General Bill Barr was one of Trump's most prominent critics, but he came out this week to endorse the four-times indicted former President.
