Have fun with this, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. It looks like he might just get a filibuster coming from
his own side of the aisle because, well,
Ted Cruz. In an interview with News Max, Cruz explained how it would all be McConnell's fault if Loretta Lynch is confirmed to be attorney general.
Cruz told Newsmax host John Bachman, "We have the ability to defeat this nomination, and there are two ways to do so. Number one, if every Republican on the Judiciary Committee simply votes no, the nomination is dead."
"Secondly," he added, "even if the committee votes on her nomination, leadership has the authority simply not to report the nomination to the floor."
"If leadership brings it to the floor, the Republican Senate will have put in place an attorney general who will continue the lawlessness and abuse of power of President Obama," he said. "I think that would be a travesty, I think it would be an abdication of our responsibility, I certainly hope we don’t do that."
Got it, McConnell? You are the only thing standing in the way of a lawless, rogue tyrant who would drive this country to ruin. So what exactly are you going to do about Ted Cruz?
