Ted Cruz loves tweeting more than losing to Eric Swalwell, and loves to recycle two-month old jokes.

x I will make this open bet to @tedcruz — if the @dallascowboys beat the @49ers I won’t tweet for the rest of January. If the @49ers win you can’t tweet for rest of January. How Texan are you, Ted? Deal? — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) January 17, 2023

x How about we bet a Chinese dinner instead? https://t.co/7sSk1jwiGl — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) January 17, 2023

See, that’s an unfunny reference to a lie MAGA loves to tell about Eric Swalwell and his former Chinese friend who turned out to not be a friend, and therefore Swalwell stopped being friends with her.

Swalwell is such a proponent of the truth, he constantly tries to clear up those ridiculous “Fang Fang” rumors with pesky facts, which MAGA really hates.

Truth is just anathema to the GOP, because they can’t stoke fear in their base with unscary facts.

So they keep pushing that trope and Eric Swalwell receives death threats on the regular.
