Senator Ted Cruz cautioned that left‑leaning activists have already infiltrated key areas of the U.S. Capitol, warning that their influence could shape legislation and oversight from within. Speaking at a recent press event, Cruz highlighted recent incidents where progressive groups secured staff positions and committee seats, arguing that this internal presence threatens the institution’s traditional balance. He called for stricter vetting of Capitol employees and urged congressional leaders to safeguard the building’s nonpartisan functions. The remarks come amid heightened partisan tensions and ongoing debates over the role of activist groups in government operations.
Cruz warned that progressives already have a very real presence inside the Capitol.
