“Ted Cruz represents the element of the Republican Party that’s trying to hasten the apocalypse,” Grayson told MSNBC’s Richard Lui. “These are people who think that Obamcare is helping to save lives and they want to destroy it anyway. These are people who understand a government shutdown causes chaos to the economy and they want to do it anyway. These are people who understand defaulting on the national debt would drive unemployment sky high, and they want to do it anyway.”

When Lui mentioned that Cruz has been called “Statesman of the Year” by the Sarasota, Florida GOP, Grayson responded, “calling him the ‘statesman of the year would be like calling Jim Jones the religious leader of the year.” He said Cruz is “trying to create a mass suicide cult called the tea party, and lead it.”
