“He voted NO on TPA.”
He helped Ryan get it going; he said Sessions did not know what he was talking about when Sessions warned us all about how the bill usurped Congress’s authority over immigration. He voted for cloture, which he had previously stated that a vote for cloture was a vote for any particular bill, then he voted for the bill. He voted against the bill the second time when his “yes” vote was no longer needed. You don’t have to take my word for it; google it.
“And he said he did not like voting for the Corker bill, but thought it might buy a little more time to stall the Iran deal.”
That is a laughable lie on Cruz’s part. The Corker bill hurried up the implementation of the Iranian bill.
By the way, both bills were top Obama agenda items. Should that not have given the non-malleable Cruz pause? I mean, if he were such a rock.
“What do you think of Jeff Sessions, who led the charge against Rubio’s Gang of Eight bill, saying that if it wasn’t for Ted Cruz the whole thing would have passed?”
The Senate passed the Gang of Eight bill. Then it went to the House and was out of any senator’s hands. Cruz had nothing to do with the House defeating the bill.
A bill that turns over the sovereignty of the United States to a foreign cartel is hardly nit-picking. A bill that helps a terrorist nation develop a nuclear weapon is hardly nit-picking.
Good post!
It’s stunning that people can read the WSJ article by Cruz and Ryan praising TPA/TPP as the best thing since sliced bread and STILL say Cruz was against it. BOGGLES the mind!
