Rep. Peter King (R-NY) appeared on CNNs The Situation Room Monday afternoon and when Wolf Blitzer asked him to explain his statement that compared Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to a carnival barker, the Republican congressman opted not to walk back his comments but instead take about a dozen steps forward.
We need intelligent debate in the country. Ted Cruz may be an intelligent person, but he doesnt carry out an intelligent debate, King said. He oversimplifies, he exaggerates and he basically led the Republican Party over the cliff in the fall of 2013. He has shown no qualifications, no legislation being passed, doesnt provide leadership and he has no real experience. So, to me, he is just a guy with a big mouth and no results.
But would King support Cruz if he ended up becoming the Republican Party nominee for 2016?
I hope that day never comes, King told Blitzer. I will jump off that bridge when we come to iy"

No results? According to democrats he single handedly shut down the US government. That is an unbelievable result.
If it gives Peter King apoplexy, I’m all in.
Wow, a bonus!
Dear Rep. Peter King (R-NY) if y’all decide to jump off a bridge, we have a perfect choice here in Colorado. It is the Royal Gorge bridge. It is over 1,000 feet to the very rocky bottom. An you will have a large captive audience. It is a tourist trap.
Hope it’s a high bridge and a real hrd landing!
King should stick to being anti-terrorism and pro-Israel, and leave the rest to the grown-ups.
he should do it... it’s not like Ted Cruz is getting his vote anyway...
Sounds good.
How about petitioning the White House to build a bridge for Peter King?
We could surely get 100,000 signatures to help Sen. King along his way...
Promises, promises...
A twofer.
Deal!
I’m for Walker, but if King is being literally serious here....I might reconsider.
It is a time for truth. It is a time for liberty. ~ Ted Cruz 03/23/2015
Yep. like the anti-Semitic Obama, King has no reason to hate Cruz other than his race.
They are trying to block the first Hispanic President, what racist bigots!!
Go ahead and jump... Peter. You won’t be missed.
He can come here to CA and jump off the Golden Gate. If he doesn’t die from the jump, he might get hypothermia instead.
As an alternative he could slit his wrists with an electric razor. Or jump out a basement window.
Bon Voyage, Rep King!
Why doesn’t he jump across the aisle now? I’ve been a Republican longer than he has and I won’t miss him.
