In a stunning attack on a leader of his own party, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of lying to him and said he couldn't be trusted.
At issue were assurances Cruz claimed McConnell, R-Ky., had given that there was no deal to allow a vote to renew the federal Export-Import Bank — a little-known federal agency that has become a rallying cry for conservatives. Cruz rose to deliver his remarks moments after McConnell had lined up a vote on the Export-Import Bank for coming days.
"It saddens me to say this. I sat in my office, I told my staff the majority leader looked me in the eye and looked 54 Republicans in the eye. I cannot believe he would tell a flat-out lie, and I voted based on those assurances that he made to each and every one of us," Cruz said.
"What we just saw today was an absolute demonstration that not only what he told every Republican senator, but what he told the press over and over and over again, was a simple lie."
The majority leader was not on the Senate floor when Cruz issued his attack, and ignored reporters who tried to ask him about it in the Capitol's hallways. A spokesman said McConnell would have no response.

Ted Cruz Ping! I'll bet he changes his mind about that...
Here is the video... must watch
McConnell needs to be removed right now. And then Boehner after him. This is an opportune time for a house cleaning.
Go, Cruz, GO!!
He doesn’t have the guts for a verbal response, especially a direct, debate-type response with Cruz.
He will very likely try to take some punitive action, though.
Yes, especially because he’s on Limbaugh right now, saying that McConnell wanted 0bamacare to NOT be repealed.
Now, this is how you take on the phony conservatives.
F’ YES. Bring it Cruz.
There is not other word for McConnell frankly. Unless you want to use sniveling traitorous coward.
Someone's giving Cruz an education. In the Art of the Deal, perhaps?
You play by their rules, you lose. It'll be fun to see how many real conservatives there are who rally 'round Cruz. Hope someone does the same thing in the HOR.
Turtle soup anyone?
Those NSA phone taps and internet sweeps are paying off big time for the Bamster.
Go Ted!
Ted Cruz chairs subcommittees on the Senate Judiciary Committee & the Senate Commerce Committee.
Let’s see if Turtle Soup tries to strip him of those committee assignments.
More likely McConnell will warn Senate Republicans that they’d better not be even seen talking to Cruz. Which will be hard to enforce in these Twitter times.
And yet there are some FReepers (in another thread) who are now complaining and expressing concern over how Cruz did this!
I’m convinced that some FReepers just love to bitch about anything and everything; nothing is ever good enough for some!
Go Ted Go!!
Go Trump Go!!
Exactly,
Other Gop reps need to support Cruz on his no more BS approach.
Between him and Trump, the K street weasel party must be freaking out .
