In a speech that violated norms of Senate decorum and party loyalty, Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz (R-Calgary) called out his Republican Majority Leader, Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell on the Senate floor today (!) over what Tailgunner Ted thought were McConnell's assurances that the Export-Import Bank re-authorization would not be coming up for a vote in the Senate (it will):
"Not only what he told every Republican senator, but what he told the press over and over and over again, was a simple lie," Cruz said. [snip]
"We now know that when the majority leader looks us in the eyes and makes an explicit commitment that he is willing to say things that he knows are false." (our emphasis)Some people are just slow learners. (Or maybe Tailgunner Ted is a liar?! This is getting to be like eleventy- dimensional chess. Let's just posit that all Republicans are liars until proven otherwise.)
It's hard to imagine it getting any crazier, or better.
(Obvious musical accompaniment)
