Sessions described Cruz’ ***amendments*** as poison pills. So you admit that now.
Sessions did not—NOT—say, hint or suggest Cruz’ private tweets were poison pills.
Oh please. The tweet was on the very day that Cruz was introducing the poison pill amendments, which was June 19th 2013. Sessions has clearly said, that Cruz was mocking and teasing the other side.
"Sen. Cruz stood with me. ...We stood together on this one, I got to tell you," the Alabama senator said. "We recognized that the talking points that Sen. Rubio and others were using to describe this monumental bill were not accurate. It would not do the things that they said it would do. The law enforcement people opposed it viciously and vigorously. And so one of his amendments was to block citizenship, and he made it just to block citizenship for anybody who entered the country illegally, which I think is exactly right." Alabama's senator, widely recognized as the body's loudest voice on illegal immigration, noted that he voted for Cruz's amendment because it would have tanked the bill's provision to give citizenship to illegals. "Of course the bill allowed for citizenship as part as amnesty. [The amendment] didn't fix everything in the bill and I of course voted for it and so did he and he's spoken for it and he's sort of teased or mocked the other side by saying that, 'Well, you say you want your immigration you can have your immigration, but you give us citizenship," Sessions said. "Oh no, they wouldn't do that, Schumer, he had a fit over that in a heated debate and Ted won that debate. Lost the vote, but he won the debate."

As I said, one can believe Sessions, that they were poison pill amendments or not and one can believe Sessions that Cruz was teasing and mocking the Democrats or not.
I really don't care what you believe.
But to call me dishonest, is you being dishonest.
What a dishonest post. You never even mentioned the wholesale lie in the tweet.
But thanks for educating me. I learned that Sessions did not refer to the amendments as “poison pills”. Interesting.
The tweet was private, and went only to Cruz’ followers. There was no need for Cruz even to send it, much less to lie shamelessly to his own followers. If he lies so easily and so unnecessarily, how does anyone ever know if he’s telling the truth?
