U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas posted on X on Election Day in South Carolina, urging voters to support Attorney General Alan Wilson. In the post, Cruz described Wilson as a proven conservative who has defended the Constitution and fights for the state’s families and values. The message has drawn attention online, with commenters responding by raising concerns about election security and other national priorities.
The video shows campaign footage of Alan Wilson speaking at indoor and outdoor events with audiences present. In the clip, Ted Cruz’s voice plays as a narration endorsing the candidate. Cruz states, “God bless the state of South Carolina,” and explains his support for Wilson. He adds that voters “don’t have to wonder where Alan is gonna be on the question of fighting to defend economic liberty.” Cruz then urges people on Election Day to “come out and vote Alan for a strong conservative Governor,” saying he is “so excited for the future of South Carolina.”
According to the post text, Cruz described Wilson as “a proven conservative fighter who spent years defending the Constitution as South Carolina’s Attorney General” who “knows what it takes to fight for South Carolina’s families, values, and future.” The video aligns with promotional material for the candidate’s campaign.
Backlash Builds Over Cruz’s Support for South Carolina’s AG
Several commenters raised concerns about election security and broader priorities. One wrote, “I’ll be honest, your failure to secure our elections is fostering an unstable environment in America. The left wants us dead, and you can’t do your job. Primary Cruz. He is hopeless as a man, as a leader, and as a God-fearing man. He serves self-interest over his constituents.”
Another stated, “We are tired of spineless Republicans passing the SAVE AMERICA ACT. We will find someone who will.”
Other replies focused on regional focus and influence. A commenter identifying as a fellow Texan said, “Senator, a fellow Texan here… You should focus on the things that matter to Texas. We happen to put enough people out of the state you haven’t worked to get the same America Act past… not that I’m thinking about it…What actually are you doing for Texas?”
Additional comments included, “If AIPAC Ted endorses anyone, rest assured, his masters told him to do so. Soulless sellout,” and “This is pathetic. Stay in your lane, Tel Aviv Ted.”
One user noted, “Election Day in SC would be a great day to pass the Save America Act. Does Alan know once he gets to our Senate… he does nothing and screws the voters who sent him there?!”
As South Carolina voters head to the polls, the post and video have become part of a wider online conversation about the state’s election and conservative priorities. Commenters continue to debate expectations for elected officials on issues such as election security and legislative action.
