There was a big story that broke this week, and it dealt with an important issue.

Actual silencing and censoring of conservative voices on Twitter right before major elections.

We're going to do a deep dive on it. I'm Ben Ferguson, and this is Verdict with Ted Cruz.

Senator, the internet got broken the other night because of Elon Musk and all that he exposed,

and it was a big story, obviously.

But before we get to that, there's a guy in Washington, D.C. that looks like you, and it's

freaking me out.

I think it's freaking a lot of people out.

And it's someone you would never expect to be wanting to look like you.

His name is Mitt Romney, who has grown

a beard for people watching. There it is. I don't know if he lost his razor. I don't know if he's

trying to resurrect his career to make people like him, and he saw how much people loved your beard.

You got any advice on this one? Well, listen, I think mitt's beard looks great uh he came back from

thanksgiving and he had white stubble covering his face um it's interesting that his beard is all

white um his hair is not all white but the beard beard is and uh and i thought it looked good and

so mitt and i were laughing on the Senate floor.

I welcomed him to the bearded club and said, was glad to have him.

I asked him, what's the deal?

What's going on?

And he said, oh, he just didn't shave over Thanksgiving and said he was, you know, figured

what the heck, keep it.

He said, he said, Anne thought it looked kind of cute.
