The proof is Jeff Sessions, who led the charge with Ted Cruz to kill the bill. He backs up every word of Ted Cruz's account of how they killed the Gang of Eight bill.

First, it would seem that Ted Cruz was being willfully dishonest in his efforts in that while on the one hand he was supporting the bill while offering the poison pill he was hoping to kill the bill. That seems like one explanation.

Second, Rand Paul (either truthfully or just because he's campaigning) disputes Ted's story.

Rand Paul knows what he is saying is not true. He’s just mad at Ted for stealing his mantle, and the having his dad pick Ted Cruz over him.
