A rattled Ted Cruz gave a grim assessment on the future of the GOP in an emotional Fox News appearance after a series of disastrous electoral results for Republicans.

Appearing on Hannity the day after Democrats swept key races across the country—including Zohran Mamdani’s win as mayor of New York City—the Texas senator didn’t sugarcoat his words.

“Look, last night was a disaster,” Cruz said flatly. “It was an electoral blowout. The results in New Jersey were disastrous. The results in Virginia were terrible. The results in New York—Comrade Mamdani is the face of the Democrat party.”

The comment came after Sean Hannity opened Wednesday’s segment by lamenting what he called “a disaster of a night” for conservatives. “My New York friends are officially depressed and scared,” Hannity said, referring to the election of Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist who will be New York City’s first Muslim mayor.

1. Given it was a disaster, I'm guessing he's on his way out the country

on another vacation?

[Jerry2144]

3. He'd love To fly to Cancun but air travel is cut off

Due to his party’s shutdown of our government

[durablend]

5. Permanently would be better

[Vogon_Glory]

2. I'm hoping that the coming disaster causes Club Pachyderm's

grip on the other Texas senator’s seat to slip and fall away.

It’s still a shame that Ted wasn’t fired by the voters last time.

[mwmisses4289]

14. Some of us tried.

Just not enough of us.

[Vogon_Glory]

38. I admit that I didn't phone-bank

but I certainly voted for Colin Allred.

[CrispyQ]

4. It's past time the repubs were afraid of us. Our own party, too.

If they ever get the majorities we need, they need to go bold.

[Paladin]

6. Too little, too late, Cruz. As usual. (nt)

[delisen]

7. Hannity & Cruz can self-deport. nt

[livetohike]

8. Scared? Scared worse than being dragged off the street

and thrown into a car and taken to parts unknown? This is hilarious.

[Irish_Dem]

9. IF they did their jobs they wouldn't be depressed and scared.

Got up every day and worked for the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

[Mysterian]

10. It's mind-boggling that people vote for weasels like Rafael Cruz

I apologize to weasels. He is more akin to a rat.

[mwmisses4289]

15. Even rats are better than cruz.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Who are these "common sense conservatives" Cruz the MAGA Capitulator speaks of?

Pro tip for Ted: calling Mamdani a Marxist jihadist isn’t helping the “common sense” cause.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Not one of them should pretend that this was not expected.

That level of stupidity should never have made it into Congress.

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. Of course, Ted.

Naturally, your "New York 'friends' are officially depressed and scared.” It's certain that you will have more time on your hands, and that means they will be hearing more from you. They liked you better when you were in Cancun.

[CTyankee]

42. doncha just love what Cruz is going through? he's taking some tough medicine. I love watching him contort.

[BobTheSubgenius]

43. I DO!!!

And I don't see myself getting tired of it any time soon. I'm very much hoping it's ended by his disappearance from public life.

[twodogsbarking]

16. I love the smell of self-fulfilling proficies any time of the day.

[electric_blue68]

17. Ohhh, boo, hoo, hoo for Hannity's NYC friends... NOT!

[republianmushroom]

18. Live and learn you two.

[NNadir]

19. The cowards will need to stop kissing the orange pedophile's ass.

I'm not sure they'll know how to navigate that.

They're going to be in the place of people in Germany claiming in 1947 that they were never Nazis.

I'm currently slowly reading a book on the trial of Marshall Phelip Petain who headed the French collaborative Vichy regime. Everyone wanted to claim they were with the resistance although many held positions in the Vichy regime.

There really weren't that many Leon Blum types around to hold the trial.

[Grins]

20. I knew this last November.

“Let Trump be Trump” is a winning strategy. For Democrats.

[cer7711]

21. I drink his tears.

Small "d" democratic socialism: the cure for what ails us.

[Grins]

22. "GOP complacency could turn into a catastrophe."

It’s not ‘complacency,’ it’s ‘complicity.’

This is on them! They OWN IT ALL.

[maxsolomon]

23. I think he'll be OK.

They still have more Billiionaires bankrolling them. They still own the airwaves and are turning CBS.

Did they lose a single federal office on Tuesday?

[TBF]

24. That guy is my senator, smh, and I wish he'd relocate permanently to Cancun. nt

[Lucky Luciano]

29. Why do you hate Mexicans?

[Bev54]

25. The idiocy of these republicans knows no bounds. All of a sudden a Mayor becomes the face

of the democratic party, not the blowouts by the new women governors in NJ and Virginia or the Governor of California that just fucked over their Texas rigging of the upcoming elections. Nope they want it to be the Mayor of NYC. Just like Trump tries his best to knock down the mayor of London who is also Muslim. It hasn't worked and will not.

[PSPS]

26. LOL. "My New York friends." LOL. I'd like a list of his "New York friends." LOL.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. The newly-sprung George Santos?

For the city proper itself, there is one (R), representing Staten Island - Nicole Malliotakis.

[Iggo]

27. This was guaranteed once you superglued your lips to Trump's ass, Ted.

The only questions were “How long will it take?” and “How much damage will be done?”

[rubbersole]

32. + "How ugly is my wife?"

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Republicans don't have any good, sane choices

So they will revert to inventing bad options on the fly going forward

[ificandream]

31. I love to hear Hannity crying ...

[rubbersole]

34. "Little guy, soft guy, with tears running down his face..."

[Fil1957]

33. Yeah, and he didn't say a thing about the disastrous Trump policies that caused this. With a few exceptions, Republican

politicians have no clue as to why this happened. Apparently they can't see the obvious.

[bamagal62]

35. Hannity has friends?

[area51]

36. You beat me to it.

GMTA.

[bamagal62]

41. lol! Great minds!

[BumRushDaShow]

37. Probably this genocidal loudmouth lunatic who used to date Distort D'Newza, who lives in NYC
