ICYMI: Colin Allred and Cory Booker Team Up Against Texas & Nation

HOUSTON — Today, an article in The Federalist was published connecting Colin Allred to Cory Booker, blocking Sen. Ted Cruz’s TAKE IT DOWN Act, an overwhelmingly bipartisan which would require social media sites to remove non-consensual, sexually exploitative images, including AI-generated deep fakes, within 48 hours of notice.

The article states the following.

“Last week, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., once a presidential hopeful, became relevant again by blocking the Take It Down Act, introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. The bill would have criminalized AI-generated deepfakes of revenge porn involving minors. When the bipartisan bill came up for a vote, Booker filed a last-minute objection that prevented its passage. When asked to explain what his objection actually was, he said nothing.

“This has led observers to conclude that Booker’s primary motive was to deny Cruz a legislative victory during an election, since Booker is good friends with Rep. Colin Allred, Cruz’s opponent in this year’s Texas Senate race.”

A Cruz Campaign spokesperson issued the following statement.

“Let’s just call this for what it is — Colin Allred has no interest in working on behalf of Texans if there’s even a chance it will give Sen. Cruz a win. He talks a big game of working to get things done with both sides of the aisle and standing up to his party, but when push comes to shove, he will always put himself and radical Democrats first. He had the chance to call his good friend Cory and tell him to not obstruct Senator Cruz’s bipartisan bill, but instead, he decided to play politics at the expense of Texans.”
