Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki to apologize after the two mocked voters for being concerned about the border crisis while casting ballots during the Super Tuesday election.
Cruz demanded they apologize during “The Faulkner Focus” on Thursday, arguing that the controversial panel discussion is indicative of how “out of touch” the mainstream media is with American voters.
“I mentioned Jeremy Caceres a second ago. He was murdered about 30 miles from Jen Psaki's $1.7 million home in Arlington, Virginia, but from his perspective, that's apparently a laughing matter,” he told her. Cruz told Harris Faulkner on Thursday.
“She doesn't understand why families worry when their children are killed by illegal aliens,” he continued.
“Well, you know what? Across the country, a lot of families understand and we want to protect our families. We want to support law enforcement and secure the border, and I think that clip is emblematic of how out of touch the media is. “Corporate people are… they're sitting around laughing about who are these hillbillies to care about this? That's why so many people are understandably upset.”

Maddow led the panel during the network's Super Tuesday coverage, addressing the fact that border and immigration policy remains a priority for voters across the country heading into November.
Far-left host Joy Reid attacked white working-class Republican voters as only making their decisions based on race and not thanking President Biden, a “working-class white man,” for the “benefits they're getting.” financially” from him.

“They're voting on race,” he said. “They're voting on this idea of an invasion of people of color across the border.”
Jen Psaki, Biden's ex White House press secretaryagreed, adding, “Look at some of these exit polls. I live in Virginia. Immigration was the number one issue,” as Reid laughed.
Maddow added, “Well, Virginia has a border with West Virginia,” as others on the panel laughed.
Faulkner doubled down on the idea that left-wing pundits are “out of touch” with voters of both political parties.
“It really drives home the problem that they don't understand people on both sides of the issue,” he said.
“We have American families who have come from different countries the right way. They are also in danger…they are new to American citizenship. We are all in this together. It's a big pot of hell right now for us. because it's out of control.”
