Senator Ted Cruz went on Fox News the day before the 2022 election and predicted Republicans were going to not only have a red wave election, but it would be a "tsunami."

On The Fox News website, they touted his predictions: Midterms: Cruz predicts 'not just a red wave, but a red tsunami' for Republicans on Election Day

Wearing sunglasses to make believe he's a cool cat and bragging about his bus tour, Senator Cruz ranted about Republicans' perfect chances at retaking all of Congress.

"I think we're going to see a wave election. I think it's going to be a tsunami," Senator Cruz said. "I think Republicans are going to retake both the House and Senate."

"In the House, I think we could end up with a majority of 30, 40, 50 votes. In the Senate, I think we're gonna retake the majority. I think we'll end up with about 53 Republicans in the Senate,' he said.

(The House has still not been decided, but it will be a razor-thin majority one way or the other.)

"Wow," exclaimed Jesse Watters.

Later in the segment, Cruz said Republicans were pissed off and energized and attacked the "cultural Marxists that are trying to destroy our country," he said. "Such a fundamental wave election this time."

F**K you, Senator Cruz.

What a sanctimonious display of hubris.

Drink your seventeen Red Bulls and ride around in your bus.

What an embarrassing interview.

Please, Ted, go down to Georgia to "help" Herschel Walker.
