Ted Cruz Lambastes Most Powerful Republican in Senate
During a speech on the floor, Republican Senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz took on one of the most powerful individuals in his own party, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Senator Cruz is incensed that Senator McConnell allegedly struck a deal to allow an amendment to a must-pass highway-funding bill. The amendment would pave the way for the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, which Cruz and his colleagues recently blocked.
This accusation by Senator Cruz is especially shocking because Senate rules state that no senator *quote* “shall impute to another senator… any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a senator.”
Senator Cruz, who has had many public battles with Senator McConnell, chastised him, saying he’s more interested in listening to lobbyists than he is voters.
