Rep. Peter King threatens to 'take cyanide' if Cruz is nominee
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/19/16 | Gabby Morrongiello

New York Rep. Peter King said Tuesday that if Ted Cruz secures the Republican presidential nomination, he'll take cyanide.

"I'm not endorsing Ted Cruz, in case anyone is confused," King told MSNBC the morning of his home state's GOP primary contest.

"I think I'd take cyanide if he got the nomination," the Republican lawmaker added, admitting that he cast his absentee ballot for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

"I'm not endorsing [Kasich], but I voted to send a message," King said.

King also predicted that GOP front-runner Donald Trump will score "a big victory" in the Empire State.

Despite Cruz's victory over Trump in Wisconsin, King said any doubts New Yorkers had about Trump's path to the nomination almost immediately disappeared when he began campaigning in his home state.

"What you said about Wisconsin, I did notice after Wisconsin for a day or so people were wondering what happened to Donald Trump," King told MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. "Then he held a massive rally on Long Island. That really psychologically turned [people] around again."

Trump will hold a press conference inside his gilded Manhattan skyscraper at 9 p.m. Tuesday to address the outcome of the New York primary. Powered by Boohle

When is this asshat King going to croak? Starting with his being anti 2A, he seems to be more concerned with ostracizing conservatives than in being one. BTW, I am not a Cruz supporter but if this clown is against him, he would be my choice if Trump fails. I bet King supports Gay-sick.

“Peter King outdoes his own stupidity.”

But the morons in his district will re-elect him as long as he wants the office!
Oh America, how far you have fallen!

I was planning to vote Trump a week from today, but I’ll have to reconsider.

I know. Sounds so very Trumpbotish doesn’t it. Except they want YOU to take the cyanide, to keep Cruz from getting the nomination.

“Rep. Peter King threatens to ‘take cyanide’ if Cruz is nominee”

Well, if you were on the fence, this should do it.

Bye, King.

He should be removed from office and put under a suicide watch. Lefties exclaim they would leave the country if a particular candidate won. Hypocrites; they never do. But cyanide? Suicide? Your family should be so proud.

I’d happily give that loser RINO the glass of water to flush the pill down his RINO rubber neck. These NY RINOs need to get lost.
