Whatever gets his mug on TV.

Via Washington Times:

Rep. Peter T. King said Thursday that Sen. Ted Cruz is a “false leader” who is peddling a “false bill of goods” in the debate over defunding Obamacare and said Mr. Cruz, Texas Republican, has tapped into a “dark strain in the American political psyche.”

Mr. King, New York Republican, said Mr. Cruz’s approach to defunding the Affordable Care Act is doomed to fail and is fueled by the the belief that if lawmakers don’t defund a law “that he doesn’t like, we are going to shut down the government.”

“I don’t think it is possible to heal tensions with Ted Cruz,” Mr. King said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Hopefully we can heal tensions with some of his supporters. The reason I say that is that he seems intent on doing whatever he has to do without regard to either the party or, quite frankly, to the Senate. So I think what we have to do is reach out to his people and let them know that they are following a false leader here.”
