Sen. Ted Cruz brought some much-needed sanity to CNN on Tuesday when he joined The Source host Kaitlan Collins, who insisted that we still do not know why Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin did what he did.

As part of a larger back-and-forth where Cruz claimed that the fact that too many people on the left believe that Kirk’s killer was on the right and deny the role that his pro-trans ideology had in the shooting, Collins claimed, “Okay. Senator, but—but one moment, because you said a lot there. And we don't have a motive yet. We don't know yet. We're waiting. Obviously, we've heard what the governor's had to say, what the FBI director said today.”

That set Cruz off, “Of course, we know. But come on, we don't have a motive yet? We don't—we don't have a motive yet? Really? Really? That's CNN's position?”
