How does Colin Allred introduce himself and contrast his background with Ted Cruz?
I'm Colin Allred. I'm a fourth generation Texan. I'm a husband and a father. I was raised here in Dallas by a single mom who's a public school teacher. And I've been shaped by every part of this state. My grandfather was a customs officer in Brownsville. That's where my mom and at were born and raised where I spent a lot of my childhood. I was captain of the Bailey football team in Waco, trained for the NFL Draft in Houston. And I've served my hometown in Dallas in Congress for the last six years. In that time, I've been the most bipartisan Texan in Congress. I'm the exact opposite of Senator Cruz, who's the most extreme senator in the United States Senate. Maybe the most extreme in the last 30 years. But that's not enough.
He's also only focused on himself. That's how you can go to Cancun when millions of Texans need you and hundreds are dying. The truth is, we don't have to be embarrassed by our senator. We can get a new one. That's what this election is all about. That's what I'm asking Texans. To give me a chance to do.
Senator, you have that was from the Texas Senate debate. You had the MAGA Republican Senator Ted Cruz right there, just getting absolutely skewered on Tuesday night by Democratic Congress member Colin Allred, who's running for that Texas Senate seat. It's a very close race. Some polls have Democratic Congress member Colin Allred ahead, some have Ted Cruz ahead, but they're never. Neck and neck. Let me show you some other highlights of this debate. Here, Colin Allred says that Ted Cruz treats the border like some uh safari hunt, and it's all
All four show play the clip. Thank you for the question. This is personal for me.
What accusations does Allred make about Cruz’s handling of the Texas border?
My family's from Brownsville. My grandfather was a customs officer there. He joined the Customs Department in 1939. That's where my mom and my aunt were born and raised, and where I spent a lot of my childhood. And I know that our border communities are real places where folks are trying to raise their families and get ahead. But time and again, uh Senator Cruz treats our border communities like he's going on some kind of a safari. He comes down, he puts on his outdoor clothes, he tries to look tough, and he goes back to Washington and does nothing to help. In fact, he does worse than nothing. When the toughest border security bill in a generation came up in the United States Senate, twenty billion dollars for border security, he said, we don't need a border bill.
That's what he said. And you know, listen, this is not this is a pattern for him. He's never there for us when we need him. When the lights went out in the energy capital of the world, he went to Cancun. On January 6th, when a mob was storming the Capitol, he was hiding in a supply closet. And when the toughest border security bill in a generation came up in the United States Senate, he took it down. We don't have to have a senator like this. Let me be very clear. I believe in physical barriers as part of a comprehensive strategy. to secure the border. We had a bill for $20 billion for a thousand new Border Patrol agents for more immigration judges, more asylum officers to help us deal with the backlog.
I wanted to make sure we passed that. When I'm in the Senate, we will. And we'll also fix our broken legal immigration system. Senator Cruz has had forever. And he's done nothing to solve this problem. Why would we believe that he will with six more years?
Here Colin Allred talks about uh Ted Cruz really shouldn't be talking about sports at all. Play this clip. Yeah, sixty seconds.
How does Allred criticize Cruz’s response to the 2021 Texas power outage?
I mean, you know, it's a lot. And I stand here as a proxy for millions of Texans who are sick and tired of this act. You know, when Ted Cruz starts talking about team sports, you gotta watch out because the only position he ever played was left out. I'm not trying to be mean, Senator, uh but let you know just s you know, sit this one out, please. Listen.
And by the way, Colin Allred was a star football player at Baylor University. He also had five seasons in the NFL. He was on the Titans, someone who actually has been in professional locker rooms.
