“Had a great dinner tonight with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago,” Cruz said in a Twitter post Tuesday evening. “He’s in great spirits! We spent the evening talking about working together to re-take the House & Senate in 2022.”
“Nothing like reminiscing about attempted coups over a bouquet of flowers,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote, sharing the tweet.

Trump provoked the deadly Capitol riot via repetitive, false claims about the 2020 presidential election. He was impeached for a second time in January for inciting the insurrection. Ocasio-Cortez made known she still isn’t cool with the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, which occurred four months ago Thursday.
The former president has falsely maintained that the election was stolen from him, though he lost fairly to President Joe Biden by more than seven million votes.
“Sen. Cruz, you must accept responsibility for how your craven, self-serving actions contributed to the deaths of four people yesterday. And how you fundraised off this riot. Both you and Senator Hawley must resign. If you do not, the Senate should move for your expulsion,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a January tweet.
