The HuffPost joined others in attempting to paint Sen. Ted Cruz as a hypocrite for his criticism of Democrats seeking to pack the Supreme Court. As you can see, it’s been deleted:

But in order to try and same journalistic face, HuffPost simply moved a goal post on the language but kept the same video:
Sen. Ted Cruz delivered a whopper on the courts. (Correction: An earlier version said that Cruz lied about court packing. The dishonesty lies in the claim that Republicans never "rigged the game.") pic.twitter.com/6JhLTmtVJj

They didn't rig anything. They won elections. Stop lying.

They should have just stopped digging after deleting the first tweet.
Ramming through the system is different than changing the system. Delete your account.

Still wrong. Nothing was rigged. Republicans won the elections needed to nominate and consent to judges. That was it. https://t.co/lpqu9mWXMl
