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.

Fresh off his support for Thad Cochran, no surprise that Lott hates Cruz and supports Kasich.
Someone send him and Thad a bunch of “Dolly the party sheep” blow up dolls.
Well, what WAS Cruz supposed to call him? “Truth-challenged”? /s;)
But he wouldn’t throw out any actual criminals, or a Democrat for no reason.
Mr. Lott is a steaming pile of GOPe.
The people of Texas sent Cruz into that cesspool to shine the light of truth there.
Lott and his ilk = exactly why it stinks to high heaven.
Thank you, Ted.
So, he would have covered for the liar?
Man, the hits just keep on comin’. Dole, McCain, McConnell, Boehner, Lindsey Graham... now Lott. Hating Ted is like a litmus test for GOP sell-outs.
Perhaps if the corrupt Republican machine types wouldn’t lie, they wouldn’t have folks calling them liars.
Perhaps they should have and they definitely need to with McConnell.
Not just a liberal, a weak-knee coward.
Punishment for the independent thinkers, bonuses and decorations for the loyal serfs.
It’s the Uniparty way.
Oh, good, another voice of the liberal Establishment in the GOP goes after Ted. Thank you, Trent Lott.
That’s ok Trent, at least you got your ass thrown out. Justice, justice, justice.
Hey Trent!
“Majority Leader” does NOT mean DICTATOR!!
Well Trent they called you a liar every other place. LOL!
"As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them."
Yet another spineless, pathetic, RINO has-been crawls out of the woodwork to bash a conservative. I haven’t heard any criticism from Trent Lott (Loser-MS) about Hillary, Obama or Sanders. They’re not called the stupid party for nothing.
