This week, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) got to have a little chat with FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Wray was on the Hill to get drilled over all things FBI.
When Cruz got on the clock, he decided to hone in on the leak regarding the FBI’s updated terror guide.
Self-Reporting
Cruz was livid that after the January 6 riot at the Capitol, the FBI has decided that virtually every symbol present that day is now considered a sign of a domestic terrorist.
Cruz went down naming everything from the Gadsden flag to the Betsy Ross flag to the Gonzalez battle flag, which Cruz was actually wearing.
Not only is Cruz’s rant epic, but you also have to look at Director Wray’s face as Cruz is going on…
Ted Cruz grills Dir. Wray over FBI training material listing patriotic flags as militia violent extremism.

While that was entertaining to watch, it is not so amusing that the FBI is now targeting conservative symbols like that.
As Cruz hinted, many conservatives wear these symbols daily, and now they have to be worried about being tagged a domestic terrorist by this administration.
I have to wonder, how much longer will it be before they put the Texas flag in that category?
