On that day in 2021 hundreds of Donald Trump supporters broke into the Capitol Building in a bid to stop Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election from being certified.
Cruz, who opposed the certification of election results from Arizona, describes the day's events in his new book Justice Corrupted: How the Left Weaponized Our Legal System.
He said: "Toward the end of our two-hour session, as Senator James Lankford from Oklahoma was speaking, there was a commotion from outside the [Senate] chamber.
"Suddenly, Capitol Police officers rushed in and hastily escorted the vice president off the dais. Shortly thereafter, we paused the proceedings. In the fog of the confusion, it was difficult to tell what exactly was happening. We were informed that a riot had broken out and that rioters were attempting to violently breach the Capitol building.
