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.

What a dishonest post. You never even mentioned the wholesale lie in the tweet.

I WAS addressing the tweet. The possible explanation of the tweet was that he was trying to sell his so-called poison pill amendments by "mocking and teasing" with the tweet. Get it now?? And it was on the same day as when he introduced the amendments.

Look, one can believe that they were poison pill amendments or not. I really don't care. But stop with the cry of "dishonesty" when somebody disagrees with you. It's BS. It's spam. And using your line of reasoning, it's "dishonest".

But thanks for educating me. I learned that Sessions did not refer to the amendments as “poison pills”.

So why did Sessions vote for the amendments if they weren't a poison pill?

The tweet was private, and went only to Cruz’ followers.

I'm looking at the tweet now. I can see it. I'm not a follower.

Cruz posted on his official Senate web site's Immigration page what he apparently considers to be his accomplishments:

CRUZ WEB SITE: In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the "Gang of 8" bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled "H1B" visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.

Even after the bill died, when Cruz had the opportunity, he did not identify his amendment as a "poison pill." Cruz glaringly omitted his current stance....that he was only bluffing.

===========================================

And here/s Cruz at the border....unloading soccer balls and teddy bears from Glen Beck/s welcome wagon to "unaccompanied minors" (whose illegal parents are waiting over the border to put them on the US gravy train.)

Cruz (in gray shirt) unloads Glenn Beck's "welcome to the US" gifts to illegal minors.

The tweet is a simple statement of policy. There is nothing mocking or teasing about it. It doesn’t become mocking and teasing just because you imagine it in those terms. Had it been intended as mockery, Cruz would have given some indication of that fact. But he didn’t. He simply stated his position: security first, then legalization for all.

Your candidate is a serial liar. That is the only rational explanation.

‘The tweet was private, and went only to Cruz’ followers.’

“I’m looking at the tweet now. I can see it. I’m not a follower.”

Is English your second language? Or do you have no idea what Twitter is?
