Sen. Ted Cruz doubled down on his opposition to groups funding protests at Charlie Kirk memorials, also expressing support for a bill during an FBI hearing that allegedly targets 'violent' and 'extreme' anti-ICE and anti-Israel activities. Cruz's comments follow increased scrutiny of left-wing organizations accused of backing the protests.
