Texas by way of Canada GOP Senator Ted Cruz tried to support a conspiracy theory on Twitter.

He was quickly shut down.


Amid the public health crisis that has killed over 100,000 Americans, President Donald Trump took the time to Tweet about "Obamagate".

Obamagate is a conspiracy theory that Trump has been pushing for years against former President Barack Obama.

He has never specified what it actually entails.

MSNBC analyst and editor of The Recount John Heilemann attempted to set the record straight.

Since Trump brought up Obamagate, Heilemann tweeted at the President asking for details. Trump has left the public in the dark about exactly what crimes Obama allegedly committed, always refusing to give specifics to reporters.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz decided to step in on the conversation.

Cruz has become a loyal supporter of Trump, despite their past rivalry during the 2016 presidential election and Trump's insulting remarks about his wife, Heidi Cruz.

Cruz has also been the target of Trump's conspiracy theories. In 2016, the then presidential nominee claimed that Cruz's family participated in the Kennedy assassination.

In response to Cruz's tweet, Heilemann poked fun at their past conflicts.

Others began tearing into Cruz, pointing out the many ways Trump has disrespected Cruz, his wife and his family.

Cruz has not replied to any of the jabs aimed at him.

Trump, for his part, later implied that Obamagate may involve "warrantless surveillance." However, Trump's administration has been the one urging the National Security Agency (N.S.A) amp up its surveillance program.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
