On the 21 July 2016 of The Situation Room, CNN's Scottie Nell Hughes claimed that Ted Cruz's controversial speech at the Republican National Convention "killed conservatism" or "severely damaged it, at the very least." She outlined that "those that were on the outskirts of conservatism...[who] were, sort of, in the Cruz movement" caused an "embarrassment;" and that supposedly, Cruz "not only ended his career, but...ended the Tea Party...[and] everything that he represented" with his speech. Former Cruz employee Amanda Carpenter and Republican strategist Kevin Madden pushed back against her claim.
