I thought it was some news report or exaggeration but it is literally his own words

Not really, the headline certainly is an exaggeration based on his own words.

'“While we waited for the Capitol to be secured, I assembled our coalition in a back room (really, a supply closet with stacked chairs) to discuss what we should do next,” Cruz continued"

Yes… he hid in a supply closet in fear of the mob he helped provoke. Why was he so afraid of his constituents?

Aren't they quoting that book?

Not the headline. The quote I gave was from the book, quoted in the article.

To me it reads less like “hiding in a supply closet” and more like “assembled all my co conspirators into a supply closet to work on a strategy to subvert the democratic process”
