Sean Hannity says that three senators confirmed Ted Cruz’s account of a conversation he had with Senate Majority Liar Leader Mitch McConnell about a possible deal with Democrats about the Export-Import Bank. You may recall that Cruz blasted McConnell on the Senate floor for saying there was no deal, while there clearly was one.
Although other Republicans have attacked Cruz for telling the truth — without denying his account of the conversation, by the way — a few have come out in support of him. Senator Mike Lee has been willing to go on record to confirm Cruz’s account.
Sadly, he’s the only one. Hannity says that two others confirmed the story, but they wish to remain anonymous. This is what he said when Cruz appeared on his radio show recently:
"Here’s the question that nobody in the media wants to ask but I’ve been asking and that is, did Mitch McConnell make you the promise that you said he made? Now, Mike Lee says he did, and two senators, two of your fellow senators told me privately that, in fact, yes they heard three times Mitch McConnell say that to you. That there was no deal made but they don’t want so say it publicly."
This leaves little doubt about the truth of Cruz’s statements. What’s more important, though, is the utter lack of courage from his colleagues in the U.S. Senate. Think about this: 50 senators don’t have the courage to speak out about this issue, and of the four (including Cruz) who do, two are so afraid of McConnell’s leadership team that they don’t dare do so publicly.

“Yes.”
Only confirms, most Senators are worthless liars.
They sure are cowards. As Cruz has said, McConnell also told the same lie to the public. We don’t need no steenking witnesses to the same lie told at some Republican Senate luncheon.
How fricking spineless can you get to need to be an anonymous witness to something everyone knows about?
The party of Lincoln has devolved into greed, corruption, and cowardice.
Kudos to Cruz and Lee. Also, Meadows in the House.
A man with principles and courage is hard to find in today’s congress.
That’s great but none of them stood when it counted on the Senate floor while the democrats and rino’s berated Cruz.
Cruz did however do a good job himself of beating those so called leadership louses about the head and shoulders by himself.
Most often standing alone smack dab in the middle of enemy territory battling the enemy within... CRUZ 2016!
Ted Cruz Ping!
