Rep. Peter D. King (R-N.Y.) is not a fan of Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas senator, newly announced presidential candidate, and fellow Republican.
"To me, he's just a guy with a big mouth and no results," he told CNN this week.
Well, Cruz supporters aren't much fans of King, a moderate representing Long Island who has long been critical of hard-line conservatives in his own party. And, King said Friday, they have called his congressional office to let him know how they felt, prompting him to issue a statement slamming those Cruz backers as suffering "from severe cases of arrested development."
"I owe it to my staff - particularly the female members and young interns - to make this statement," King said, explaining that he was used to "return fire" in politics.
"What I do find revealing is the number of vulgar, rabid and adolescent type - phone calls my office has received from Cruz supporters," he said in the statement....

For Peter King, hearing the truth is “boorish”.
Pete “My boyfriend is sweet” King.
“To me, he’s just a guy with a big mouth and no results,” he told CNN this week.
Yay! Leave it to the Republicans to eat their own. An NY republican - must be wolf in sheeps clothes.
The Bush Lesson.
Insulting your Base is NOT wise.
Are they telling him to go jump off a bridge?
here come the "arrested development" troglodytes, watch out king, we're trouble
Would that be the Pete I love Irish terrorists King?
At any rate, I would suggest to Mr. King that he review Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment.
But wait. Maybe King thinks Reagan was just another “guy with a big mouth”. If that's so, I would then suggest to Mr. King that he simply leave the Republican party.
Then he and Chuck Schumer could form the "I love To Talk" party.
Cruz needs all the criticism he can get from the likes of Peter King. Such barbs translate into support for Cruz.
King, and McConnell — and other demo Lite RINOS — are as much a part of U.S. problems as the progressive democrats.
Kruz has the will and guts to face these DC insiders and change the way government operates. We all complain about politics as usual. Well, Cruz has a track record of acting to clean house.
I am energized for the first time in years!
Thanks for the Cruz website. I’m in for $50 and will contribute regularly. Certainly I encourage others to step up and support this brilliant patriot and conservative.
It’s funny that this nobody can go find a news camera to mouth off about Cruz, but heaven forbid anyone call him on the phone!
Cruz has the actual gall to NOT CARE when someone like King whines.
GOOD... even if Cruz is not always right the first time, and no mortal man can be. He is already getting second guessed in “conservative” camps about whether he ought to have signed up for Obamacare. But he did something visible and with consequences and did not look back.
Why doesn’t this ass just declare Democrat. Oh, that’s right, he can do so much more damage to Republicans from within.
A look at his expression reveals how tough it is be a #itch for the Democrats.
To us he is someone who stands on principles, and does not support liberal/RINO legislation just to "get things done". Results (e.g. the number of bills sponsored/passed) is NOT an appropriate metric for success Mr. King, DOING THE RIGHT THING (e.g. Heritage Action Conservative scorecard) IS. That is why we conservatives SHOULD be supporting candidates like LEE, CRUZ, and PAUL.
Same one.
