Hindsight Is 2021

Senator Ted Cruz raises a glass with Michael Knowles and Liz Wheeler to ring in the new year and look back on the long, strange year that was 2021, an epilogue to the long, strange year that was 2020. Democrats tried to impeach Donald Trump for the second time, Britney Spears was freed from the confines of her conservatorship as Pope Fauci became the de facto conservator of all Americans, Joe Manchin shocked his own party when he said no to Build Back Broke, and… Michael became a bitcoin billionaire?! Happy New Year from Verdict with Ted Cruz!
