I don’t know if he said anything specific about Brat or not.
What I do know is that the primary reason Cantor was defeated was because of his position on immigration.
I also know that one of the main firewalls against the amnesty getting easily pushed through and one of it’s most publicly vociferous opponents was Ted Cruz. It had passed the Senate a year earlier and he immediately got to work speaking out against it and organizing the House to stop it.
If it had sailed through the House with little or no opposition in late 2013 or early 2014, do you think Brat would have won?
Again, the Air Force was able to deliver the kill shot to the Japanese because the groundwork that had been laid by the Marines. One would not have worked without the other. Neither I nor Jeff Sessions would be as obtuse as to ignore Brat’s efforts as you are to ignore Cruz’s.
‘he immediately got to work speaking out against it and organizing the House to stop it.’
No he did not. It is impossible to oppose amnesty without opposing the Dream Act. (The Dream Act would have legalized them ALL.) It would have been equally impossible to oppose the Dream Act without opposing the one person principally responsible for pushing it: Cantor. But you cannot find One Single Quote from Cruz opposing Cantor.
And that is because There Was None.
