Trent Lott (R-Miss.) says he would take a hard line with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) if he was still running the Senate.
Cruz, a presidential candidate, assailed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a floor speech last year, accusing him of lying about a deal related to the Export-Import Bank.
Lott, who served as Senate majority leader in 2002, suggested Cruz's speech was beyond the pale. "Having been majority leader, I've never had someone stand on the Senate floor and call me a liar," Lott said in an interview with The Hill's Molly K. Hooper. "In fact, if I had been in the Senate at that time I would have moved to have him removed from the Senate chamber physically."
Lott, who is now co-chair of the public policy practice at Squire Patton Boggs, talks 2016 politics and his preferred candidate, Ohio. Gov John Kasich (R), in the video above.

Lott is just another slimey GOPe flake
Truth-Challenged? LOLOLOLOL
“”In fact, if I had been in the Senate at that time I would have moved to have him removed from the Senate chamber physically.”
Says one of the slimeball traitors. Lott should be tried for sedition.
Notice all the support that was given to the man calling Obama a liar at a SOTU. He was correct then, and Cruz was correct also.
That's because he would have wanted to keep maintain Senate as the World's Greatest Sewer Cleaner's Body.
Someone should ask this clown if it's possible to get kicked out of the Senate for wishing someone a happy birthday.
The battle over the export import bank was on the first vote. The export import bank had nothing to do with the second vote. And even more importantly why would Cruz write and op-ed in the WSJ urging passage of TPA and TPP if Cruz was not in favor of TPA and TPP?
