Ted Cruz privately apologized to GOP senators Tuesday for interrupting their holiday schedules by his surprise tactics that effectively brought the Senate into session over the weekend.
According to five senators who attended Tuesday’s caucus lunch, Cruz offered the apology in unsolicited remarks, saying that he regretted if any of his colleagues’ schedules were ruined by his maneuvering. He didn’t say whether he would do something similar again, senators said.
And unlike a contentious lunch last year after GOP senators pointedly blamed Cruz for prompting the government shutdown, no sharp words were directed at the Texas freshman at Tuesday’s lunch, according to the attendees. Republicans do not expect Cruz to prevent the Senate from finishing its work promptly this week.
The comments cap a tumultuous several days for Cruz, who, along with his counterpart, Utah Sen. Mike Lee, suddenly scuttled a bipartisan deal Friday that would have prevented weekend votes in the Senate. After Lee objected to the agreement, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) brought the Senate back into session Saturday and began to advance nearly two dozen of President Barack Obama’s stalled nominees.

“the prince”
If Ted did actually ‘apologize’, it was probably meant to be sarcastic. “For those of you most horribly inconvenienced’ by being ‘forced’ to perform the functions for which you are chronically overpaid, I offer my most humble of apologies, while winking and crossing my fingers”.
Nice backhand Sen. Cruz! Keep it up! STOP Obama!

"regretted if any of his colleagues’ schedules were ruined"
Cruz didn't regret his ACTIONS, which were proper. He regretted messing up his opponents' WEEKENDS.
Which are you more concerned about, the Constitution or RINO cocktail parties?
Cruz apologized for interrupting the cocktail parties, not defending the Constitution.
Ted you bad ass meanie! The poor children, how could you be so cruel?
Pollutico.
I imagine his apology was of the sort my mom would give me when I tried to sleep in too late:
“I’m sorry that I interrupted your majesty’s nap”
In fact, I’m certain it was. :)
Aw come on Mac. Be a Prince. ..
Um... hardly an apology
He said he regretted if them missed any weekend plans
Not the same as saying he was sorry for bringing up the constitutional point of order.
But now Dems will run around saying “Senator Cruz HAD TO APOLOGIZE for pulling a stunt like this” next time any republican shows some balls.
He yanks their chains.
Slap them then pet them on the head. Then slap them again.
Their used to it.
I hope to be able to vote for that good man.
Typical Leftico BS - Cruz isn’t saying he’s sorry for what did, he’s apologizing for what he did to some RINOs. It’s sarcasm and I bet Ted would do it again and again and again.
Sorry Politico, but I don't believe you nor these 5 losers, all of which have axes to grind. I'll wait to hear from Cruz himself before deciding what really happened.
If I am still crying after 4 hours, am I supposed to call a doctor?
“...saying that he regretted if any of his colleagues’ schedules were ruined by his maneuvering...”

Sorry Politico progressives, the above DOES NOT EQUAL AN APOLOGY for standing in defense of the constitution.
I live in Washington State and I have to Dim ass broads for senators and I will email a hearty thanks to Ted Cruz.
