Republican Senator Ted Cruz skipped two Senate Armed Services committee hearings earlier this year in favor of speeches and TV appearances, a BuzzFeed News review has found.

On February 26, the Texas senator missed an Armed Services committee hearing about worldwide threats, which featured testimony from National Intelligence Director James Clapper. The discussion covered an array of national security issues, including the threat of the Islamic State and the Iranian nuclear talks.

Cruz mentioned many of the same issues when he spoke at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference that afternoon.

Yup, it's all true.

I also read somewhere on the internet that in 3rd grade, he pulled a girl's pigtails, (Can you say SEXUAL HARRASSMENT?) AND I heard he also once stomped on an endangered dork spider, (can you say ENVIROMENTAL CRIMINAL?).

Sorry Ted, but that's the last straw...........Now I'm all in for Hillary!. Thanks for your time.

Not an Issue. When Buzzfeed rails Barry for missing national sec briefings I’ll care what they think.

Wow, James Clapper,

Please, I am sure Ted Cruz is just as much informed now as he would have been if had to sit through the Clap's Briefing.

Shoot, Just Checking his Twitter account makes Ted more informed than the regime, who have to their foreign policy news from MSNBC, 36 Hours after the fact >:P

He works for us, not the inhabitants of the other 49 states. We have no problem with what he’s doing.

So, he didn’t sit there and listen to Clapper spin the Obama line? Yeah, it’s Hillary for me. LOL

No no no. The proper fashion statement is “Thats it! Ted Cruz just lost my vote!”

You gotta say it like that. Thats what the GOP memo stated.

Why attend a session interviewing a bad liar and getting a predictable outcome? Time is a resource unto itself. Sounds like Ted knows how to prioritize his time.

You think they’d realize the whole Alynski rule book thing about holding your enemies to their own standard doesn’t work so well when circuses are involved. But then liberals arent that bright.

Next up, That SOB Cruz failed to pay taxes on his lemonaide stand in the 80s which lacked a business liscense and OSHA signs, a handicapped accessible bathroom and wasnt welcoming to Muslims.....

Thats it! Ted Cruz just lost my vote!

Isn’t it amazing how quickly RINOs like McCain forget or choose to ignore Reagan’s 11th commandment?

You left out the part where Ted hired shady H1B workers to run his lemonade empire.

Ted Cruz skipped Earth Day in 1974 to burn endangered ants with a magnifying glass out in the school playground. Obvious early-onset macro-aggression.

Bastard. I should have known. You know, his kind have that whole fuzzy dice thing going on so no shock really. I learned that today from the MSM. So we can’t expect much from...you know...’those people’...

That was sarcasm folks.
