With Sen. Ted Cruz fighting Obamacare this week “until he can’t stand,” it is a timely occasion to remember which Republicans have been working with Democrats to knock Sen. Cruz down.
Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI)
The second-term former MTV star complained on Friday that he and his friends in the House had “kept a lid on our anger” at Sen. Cruz, explaining, “we were the punching bag and bullied by some of these Senate conservatives.”
From the outside, it looks like Duffy is the one harassing conservatives in the Senate.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY)
Rep. King, a declared 2016 presidential candidate, is an example for those who make the case that liberal Democrats are better than liberals masquerading as Republicans. Speaking on Friday, King had little to say on the topic of Obamacare. He did, however, say that he was going to “start ignoring” Sen. Cruz, that Cruz was a “fraud” and “bad for the party.”
If opposition to Obamacare is bad for the party, what is the point to having an opposition party?
