Rep. Peter King, who called fellow Republican Ted Cruz a 'fraud,' said his office is now receiving threatening phone calls from people who say they're supporters of the Texas senator.

"You can't always blame a person if his followers act in a terrible way," King said on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." However, he expressed concern about the "vile, obscene" nature of the phone calls.

This tactic is pure Axelrod. Get a couple ACORN thugs to stir up the pit.

The state of having sand in it? I think getting the sand out would be good.

Well, after he gets the sand out, he can pound it.

I hope his district has a strong candidate to replace him.

He can call Cruz a fraud. But his constituients (sp)aren’t allowed to call him anything.

Peter King must be taking his surname literally!

Nope, Pete, you aren't royalty, merely because you had the good fortune to get elected. If you represented MY district, you'd be unelected very soon.

He’s a “fraudulent Republican”. That’s a much been phrase than RHINO. Folks should start repeating the phrase more and more. It carries more weight. It is the platform phrase for vetting these seats and TEA PARTYIZING them.

King is getting so predictable now, it makes you wonder if he checks in with The White House every morning to get his TV blurb of the day. His comments sound so scripted.

It was a response to King slinging mud at Cruz... King started it

Pete King: “OMG! People are criticizing me after I attacked Cruz and called him a ‘fraud’ and a ‘terrorist’. So unfair!”

[zerosix]

Sounds good to me.

We, here in Kansas, had a "Retire a RINO" party and "retired" 9 RINOs!

[Java4Jay]

King has zero morals... none, notta

[RKBA Democrat]

Reminds me of when Mcconnellcare was passed and certain black members of the ‘rat caucus accused the opposition of calling them racial epithets and spitting on them. Upon review of the videos made at the time, there was nothing to the accusations.

And we’re supposed to say please and thank-you while he rapes us, or we’re “vile”.

I won’t even attempt words to describe how disgusted I am with the vermin in DC.

Jim, is that you?

[Girlene]

"he's [Cruz] tapping into something out there which is mean and ugly."

lol...like American independence? We just want to be left alone. We want the govt out of our health care.

Big Baby.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

I’m so tired of the juvenile name calling by these grown men who behave like children.

I tweeted the dense twit, kindly asked him to please stop the name calling, it’s beneath the office he holds.

So damn unproductive as we slid further into the abyss.

[Tzimisce]

Those bastards keep calling us and talking about the Kon-sty-two-shun. Anyone know what that is?!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

HEY KING!

I’m going to call you the most vile, dirty, disgusting, filthy name there is...

You’re a democrat.
