Multiple sources confirm Ted Cruz appeared on The View, but on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, not September 11. The September 11 episode listings show Sherri Shepherd and Maisie Williams as guests, so the claimed date is contradicted.

What we found

Contradicts. The September 11, 2026 episode is listed with Sherri Shepherd and Maisie Williams as guests, not Cruz, so the claimed September 11 appearance is contradicted.[1][2][3][4]

Supports. Several listings and reports show Sen. Ted Cruz was a guest on The View on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, promoting his book on Clarence Thomas.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Context. The post said Cruz appeared 'yesterday' and was posted September 12, so the September 11 date comes from the post's own day; the sources place the appearance two days earlier.
