It’s almost like Rep. Media Whore is telling the left-wing media exactly what they want to hear so he gets his name in print and on TV.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) on Friday continued to criticize conservatives and their effort to defund the health care law led by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

“I wish some of these guys that want to be national leaders would speak out. I don’t know anybody else who did it besides me during this time,” King told the Associated Press. “I actually went and said, ‘This is crazy, Cruz is a fraud, he’s a false prophet, he’s leading us into the valley of death.'”

King said the federal government shutdown was pointless.
