   Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) used the acquittal of Daniel Penny on Monday   
   to attack New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg – and   
   encouraged the marine veteran to pursue legal action against the   
   prosecutor.   
      
   A jury returned a not guilty verdict earlier in the day, refusing   
   to find Penny guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the   
   chokehold death of Jordan Neely, a homeless Black man who Penny   
   confronted on a New York subway for threatening passengers. The   
   judge tossed out the more serious manslaughter charge Friday after   
   jurors became deadlocked during deliberations.   
      
   Penny’s acquittal left many in the MAGA world celebrating — and set   
   Cruz on a quest for vengeance.   
      
   “Alvin Bragg is an absolute catastrophe,” the conservative senator   
   said in a statement Monday to the Daily Caller. “First, he indicted   
   Donald Trump in a partisan case, and then he indicted Daniel Penny   
   for saving the lives of other subway passengers from a deranged   
   lunatic threatening to kill everyone. Penny should sue Bragg for   
   malicious prosecution and hold this rogue Soros prosecutor   
   accountable.”   
      
   He also posted a link on his social media to a Newsmax segment   
   about the case and told his followers: “Alvin Bragg needs to go. He   
   is a disgrace to the entire legal profession.”   
      
   And Cruz wasn’t done venting his frustrations on social media with   
   the Penny case. He also took to X to share his views on the arrest   
   on Monday of Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of   
   UnitedHealthcare’s CEO.   
      
   “Leftism is a mental disease,” Cruz wrote. “The suspected murderer,   
   an Ivy League graduate, 'subscribed to anti-capitalist and climate-   
   change causes, according to law-enforcement.'And the murderer has   
   been widely celebrated by leftists online. Tragic & sick.”
