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.

No wonder we keep surrendering to Muslims and our government appeases them if he’s on “our” side. I wonder what he really does, as opposed to what he says he does.

you know when I was watching Obama at the U.N. rail about the abomination of a govt using chem weapons on their own people, it made me wonder. Imagine if we were living under a dictatorship and Obama was the pres. Imagine if tea party groups were living in certain cities or geographic areas. Does anyone doubt for a moment he wouldn’t attempt to use the military to exterminate them?

seriously

King can never forgive Cruz because King wanted to run for president and Cruz exposed him.

Hey Peter King, we don’t give a damn about what you think.

I do think it is hilarious that this schlep actually thought he was presidential material.

Ted Cruz - 2016

He’s a lying pos because the house sent over a budget (CR) that would fund the gov if the senate would stop all exemptions in zero care- the senate refused to budge. So Cruz did everything possible to get around this shutdown.

This idiot needs to go asap.

All career politicians are suspect.

Even King

After redistricting, King inherited Israel’s turf. I suspect King is pandering to his new Democrat constituents. He could easily lose his district in 2014 to a conservative leaning Democrat.
