Peter King: 'I Can Never Forgive Ted Cruz'

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., one of the leaders of a GOP "moderate revolt" on Monday, says he can never forgive Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas , for leading an effort to defund Obamacare as part of a budget resolution.

"This was a doomed process from the start," King told CNN on Monday. King said he went along with a vote to defund the Affordable Care Act because he was told it would get the ball rolling and prevent the government from shutting down.

"It's obvious now there is no end in sight," King told CNN. "This is a fool's errand."

King and other GOP House members attempted to pass a "clean resolution" to keep the government operating for six weeks while further discussions were held, but they failed in the GOP-dominated House.

House Speaker John Boehner made personal appeals to members to vote with him and let him play things out. "He didn't say how or why," King said.

King said Boehner did not apply pressure, but said he believes his side could have gotten about 20 more votes. He said some responded to Boehner's appeal as a friend and others may have feared their vote might have looked like they were trying to keep the health insurance subsidies for their staff members, which conservatives such as Cruz have criticized.

King, who has had harsh words for Cruz and other tea party members of Congress before, said he believes they actually want a shutdown.

Amen!! I believe you've nailed it.

I’d love to play teenage pranks on him.

Why, Miss Onyx...I always thought you were a teenager!

What was your favorite prank?

Mine was shaving cream and the sleeping person. And there was always short sheeting.

Sweetest you.
Mine were telephone pranks! LOL.
In the olden days, telephone calls could not be easily traced.
I loved to hound and harass “incorrigible” teachers.

It’s fun, and it makes you work up a great sweat. I have to do it to music, though.

Right now, I am pretty sure that Peter King cannot pass a 51-50 test for mental competance.
