Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has been caught red-handed trashing President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in secret recordings made during private donor meetings last year, according to a bombshell new report that raises serious questions about the Texas Republican's loyalty.

The explosive recordings, obtained by the Washington Examiner, capture Cruz making disparaging remarks about both Trump and Vance during separate fundraising events – a stark contrast to the public praise he regularly showers on the Trump-Vance administration.

This revelation comes at a particularly sensitive time, as President Trump has been working to unite the Republican Party behind his America First agenda during his second term. The last thing Patriots need is supposed allies stabbing the President in the back while smiling to his face.

Classic RINO Behavior?

Cruz's two-faced comments to wealthy donors represent exactly the kind of establishment swamp behavior that everyday Americans are sick and tired of. While publicly supporting Trump's policies on border security, energy independence, and draining the Deep State, Cruz apparently tells a different story when he thinks no one is listening.

This isn't the first time Cruz has found himself at odds with Trump. Remember their heated 2016 primary battle? Many Patriots wondered if Cruz had truly gotten on board the Trump Train, or if he was just along for the ride when it suited his political ambitions.

"The American people deserve representatives who say the same thing in public as they do in private," one conservative activist told reporters. "This kind of duplicity is exactly what's wrong with Washington."

The timing couldn't be worse for Cruz, who may face questions about his loyalty as Trump works to implement his ambitious second-term agenda, including mass deportations and government efficiency reforms led by Elon Musk.

Trust Broken?

For a movement built on authenticity and fighting the establishment, Cruz's behind-the-scenes criticism raises uncomfortable questions. Can Trump and his team trust Cruz when it matters most? Or is this just another politician saying whatever his audience wants to hear?

Patriots deserve to know: which Ted Cruz is the real one – the public cheerleader or the private critic?

Two-faced establishment RINO! We need to primary this guy in 2026. Who's running against him in Texas?

This is exactly why I never trusted Cruz after 2016. He's always been a snake who says one thing in public and another behind closed doors to his big money donors.

Same here! Remember how he acted at the RNC that year? Leopard doesn't change its spots.

I'm curious what exactly he said about Vance though. The article mentions recordings but doesn't give us the full quotes. Anyone have a link to hear the actual audio?

I heard he was questioning Vance's loyalty to conservative principles, but yeah we need the full context.
