I don’t believe this for a minute because of one sentence.
A quote from the self serving unnamed Congress critter whom we presume to be a Senator from some unnamed state.

I said, ‘There’s no universe in which I can consent to doing that. I spent two years campaigning across (state deleted) and telling (delete) if you elect me, ‘I’ll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that we are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.’”

Does anyone with the brains God gave a half witted billy goat believe any sitting senator has the integrity to say that to the holy Leadership?

I've always just assumed that a U.S. Senate candidate who campaigns on cutting Federal spending is the one who loses the election ... such is the state of this once-great nation today.

I don’t believe this for a minute because of one sentence...

This account was in Ted Cruzs' new book, and the quote you question was made by him. This was semi-widely reported in the run up to his book release. I remember reading it here on FR, but I don't have the cite.

” provided by someone who sounds very authentic,”

The satire alarm bells started clanging the moment I read that.
