Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) used the acquittal of Daniel Penny on Monday
to attack New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg u and
encouraged the marine veteran to pursue legal action against the
prosecutor.
A jury returned a not guilty verdict earlier in the day, refusing
to find Penny guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the
chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a homeless Black man who Penny
confronted on a New York subway for threatening passengers. The
judge tossed out the more serious manslaughter charge Friday after
jurors became deadlocked during deliberations.
PennyAs acquittal left many in the MAGA world celebrating u and set
Cruz on a quest for vengeance.
oAlvin Bragg is an absolute catastrophe,o the conservative senator
said in a statement Monday to the Daily Caller. oFirst, he indicted
Donald Trump in a partisan case, and then he indicted Daniel Penny
for saving the lives of other subway passengers from a deranged
lunatic threatening to kill everyone. Penny should sue Bragg for
malicious prosecution and hold this rogue Soros prosecutor
accountable.o
He also posted a link on his social media to a Newsmax segment
about the case and told his followers: oAlvin Bragg needs to go. He
is a disgrace to the entire legal profession.o
And Cruz wasnAt done venting his frustrations on social media with
the Penny case. He also took to X to share his views on the arrest
on Monday of Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of
UnitedHealthcareAs CEO.
oLeftism is a mental disease,o Cruz wrote. oThe suspected murderer,
an Ivy League graduate, 'subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-
change causes, according to law-enforcement.'And the murderer has
been widely celebrated by leftists online. Tragic & sick.o
