The Rare EIB Interview: Senator Ted Cruz on Why He Called His Leader a Liar

What I'd like to know is why he waited so long before calling McConnell a liar. It's not like he hasn't had a ton of chances before now.

*****************

He, and other Senators, had amendments that they wanted to attach to the “must pass” Highway Bill e.g. defund Planned Parenthood; defund Obamacare; reject Iran deal, etc...

McConnell used a procedure maneuver to block those amendments.

You may not be a Cruz supporter— so, you might question his motivation. But, the simple truth as to why he went ballistic today, is that Cruz was incensed beyond the point of containment.

Nobody has done it before at that level, and you are worried about TIMING.

The fact that he DID is enough for me. He laid it all out politically. He is done in their circles, which is what I want from a senator or representative. Fight for those that got you there .... The people.
