In a startling address to constituents, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) recently talked about controversial COVID-19 conspiracist Joe Rogan becoming the “president” of Texas if the state secedes from the union.
“I’m not there yet,” Cruz told an audience last month at Texas A&M University about Texas seceding from the United States — popularly known as “Texit.”.
But “if there comes a point where it’s hopeless, then I think we take NASA, we take the military, we take the oil,” he said to loud applause.
Asked if he would also take Rogan, a Texan, Cruz responded: “Joe Rogan, he might be president of Texas!”.
When Cruz was asked by a member of the audience about the possibility of seceding, he said he “understood the sentiment.”
But if it does become “hopeless,” that’s when the state should grab NASA, the military and the oil, he added.
As for a possible future Texas “president,” at least right-wing vaccine and mask skeptic Rogan appears healthy after contracting COVID-19 earlier this year. »
