‘I’m the Real Republican’: Peter King Bashes Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul

GOP Rep. Peter King: ‘No One Has Done More to Strengthen Obamacare Than Ted Cruz’ (Mediaite)

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) continued his all-out assault on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Friday morning with an appearance on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports in which he said that “no one has done more to strengthen Obamacare” than his adversary, the tea party senator from Texas.

“This was the strategy of Ted Cruz,” King said of the actions that have led the Republican Party to record lows in Gallop’s favorability poll. “Going back to mid-September, I said that Ted Cruz was a fraud, there there was a dead-end to this policy, and that it made no sense to follow it.” He added, “We cannot allow our party to be taken over by the likes of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. These are people, isolationists, I consider RINO’s, because they don’t consider traditional Republican principles.”
