Not really. I see it as prepping the general public for the evidence of voter fraud. His choice of words here is just baiting the media to run with the story.
"That evidence, the campaign did not prove that in any court, and to make a determination about an election it has to be based on the evidence, and so simply saying the result you want, that’s not responsible and you’ve never heard me use language like that."
Looks more like he's laying the groundwork for the Senate Republicans to not claim widespread voter fraud that could overturn the election. I know multiple judges did directly reference the allegations and evidence in their dismissals but they still haven't given it a full day in court. Unless Cruz actually says that widespread voter fraud completely changed the result of the election (Trump got 100+ million votes) than he is just another deep state actor trying to court Trump's base.
He's saying the concept of voter fraud is real but it doesn't mean he is going to claim it was practiced on a wide scale, done by a political party, or as part of a conspiracy to change election results.
This is kinda what those "intellectual" elements of the Republican media do when they aren't ready to ride and die with the base. They talk about things related to what we are actually claiming so it looks like they are on the same side.
That’s a very apt way of putting it! They ain’t ready to clap choppas with the homies so they just “theorize” away.
