I don't remember McCain being so irresponsible in years past... He's not alone. Besides Cornyn, this guy is surprising me with his comments. (2 separate ones below) GOP Rep. Goes Off on Ted Cruz: He’s a ‘Fraud’, ‘Kamikaze Pilot’ and ‘Those I’ve Spoken to Think He’s Crazy’ Congressman Peter King (R-N.Y.) made it abundantly clear on Wednesday that he does not care for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Appearing on CNN, King called the Texas Republican a “fraud” and compared him to a “kamikaze pilot” who is only concerned about his own self-interests. He said Cruz’s 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech was like the “Charge of the Light Brigade” or a “kamikaze pilot.” “He’s not standing on principle, I don’t know what he’s standing on,” King said. “But he’s standing for a strategy that can’t work. It’s going to personally help him as far as his political status, but it’s going to be bad for the county, bad for the Republican Party.” When he was asked if his constituents would want him to defund Obamacare, even if it meant a government shutdown, the congressman told Anderson Cooper “no” and “those I’ve spoken to think he’s crazy.” At the end of the day, Cruz is nothing more than a “medicine man selling goods he knows are phony goods,” according to King. But he still wasn’t done bashing his fellow Republican. Congressman King claimed that Cruz has been trying to intimidate members of the GOP with “implicit threats of primaries” if they don’t vote the right way. “I’ve never seen anyone as unpopular in Republican circles as Ted Cruz,” King said. theblaze.com ************************ (How does he know that these aren't liberal democrats from New York doing this purposely?) Peter King: ‘Vile’ phone calls by Ted Cruz allies** Rep. Peter King, who has pulled no punches in criticizing Ted Cruz, said Thursday that supporters of the Texas senator have been bombarding his office with “vile” phone calls. The New York Republican has called Cruz a fraud for his calls to defund Obamacare, and said the senator’s campaign this summer to get the House to pass a government funding bill that defunds the health care law led to some offensive phone calls to King’s office. “The vehemence of the phone calls coming into the office. I don’t care, people can call me whatever they want … I haven’t heard such vile, profane, obscene language,” King said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday. King said while the majority of Cruz fans are “good people,” he’s concerned about what sentiments Cruz has preyed on. While he doesn’t know if Republicans can reach Cruz, they should try to “heal tensions” with his supporters, he said. “I’m not saying Ted Cruz is responsible for all his supporters, but he has tapped into a dark strain here in the American political psyche here, and again, the most obscene, profane stuff you can imagine all from people who say they support the Constitution,” King said. “I think what we have to do is reach out to his people and let them know that they’re following a false leader here.” Read more: politico.com
