Okay, so it appears that we can make up funny nicknames, too.  And it’s for Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz tweeted yesterday –

Scenes from the impeachment trial: Schumer invited Lev Parnas to be his personal guest today at the trial. Minutes ago, Parnas was ejected from the gallery…because he’s wearing an ankle bracelet mandated bc he’s a criminal defendant accused of serious felonies! #CantMakeItUp

Well, come to find out. You can, indeed, make that up.

Parnas’ lawyer answered back —

Fake news Ted Cruz, makes up something that can’t be made up. Lev Parnas’ attorneys attended the trial, while Lev joined us for a unity walk & press conference. Lev wasn’t “ejected.” Read the news, check the facts, #callthewitnesses. Why not depose him now, Ted? Just let us know. https://t.co/PInidwLra6

Several hours later, Ted corrected himself.  Well, kinda. “Turns out,” he said, “what I was told in the Cloakroom was slightly inaccurate.”  Slightly?  Yes, Parnas was there.  He never tried to go in the gallery.  That’s “slight” in astronomical terms.

They are all going to hell, I tell you.
