Jeff Sessions has now publically defended Cruz's Amendment to the gang of eight bill as part of their strategy to defeat Rubio's amnesty bill. This should put to rest the misinformation being spread by some about Cruz.

At least the Trumpophiles pretty much refrained from thowing turds at Cruz over this.

I suppose it’s because they hate Rubio more than fear Cruz.

Just How Close Was The 2014 Amnesty Vote? - Here’s The Back Story...

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/12/17/just-how-close-was-the-2014-amnesty-vote-heres-the-back-story/#more-109866

The senate Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill, which included amnesty legislation was not blocked by Ted Cruz nor Marco Rubio - it specifically passed the senate because of them, not despite them.

On Tuesday June 10th Speaker Boehner, Eric Cantor (Majority Leader) and Kevin McCarthy (Majority Whip) had lunch together discussing timing the vote Thursday night or Friday Morning.

However, later that same night the results from the 2014 Virginia primary showed an unknown conservative outsider, Dave Brat, had defeated (primaried) Eric Cantor. At 7:00pm Tuesday night the first word went out that Cantor had lost.

Boehner, McCarthy and Cantor were STUNNED beyond belief.

The next day, Wednesday June 11th, the House of Representatives was also in a state of shock - Almost the entire reason for the defeat was the controversial immigration position of Cantor.

Immediately panicked GOP congresscritters were calling Kevin McCarthy and revoking their previous (2 days earlier) positions of support for the bill. By lunchtime Wednesday June 11th it was obvious the Immigration Bill was NOW DEAD in the House.

That’s how close it was. Literally within hours of a vote for passage.

Amnesty didnt die because of Senator Ted Cruz or anything he did or didn’t do. The gang of eight bill had already passed the senate.

Amnesty died exclusively because candidate Dave Brat beat House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Period.

Facts are stubborn things, especially to people who oppose the most conservative Presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan.

Thank you for the post.

It should, but it won't. Rubio has exposed himself as the weasely, smarmy little liar that he is. Fox News has circled the wagons around Rubio, and shame on Bret Baier. Hearing Rush, Hannity and Levin all speaking out against Rubio's dishonest smear of Ted Cruz should put an end to the charade of Rubio pretending to be a conservative, or even an honest man.

Direct youtube link to Jeff Sessions' statement:

I support Trump and Cruz. Jeff Sessions is the last Patriot in America as someone on this site mentioned yesterday. I have watched Senator Sessions for years and he would make an excellent President or Supreme Court Justice. That will probably never happen because he’s White, a Patriot and a Southerner the only politically group which is fair game to smear as far as Democrats are concerned. If Jeff Sessions says Marco Rubio lied then I know it’s true.
