Congressman Faces Backlash over Cruz Comments satire
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 28 March 2015 | John Semmens

Posted on 04/01/2015 9:51:19 AM PDT by John Semmens

After calling newly announced GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz a “big mouth” and a “failure,” Rep Peter King (R-NY) was shocked to receive feedback in-kind from Cruz supporters.

“People have been phoning my office belittling my accomplishments and asserting that I am all talk,” King complained. “This is disrespectful. No member of Government should have to put up with such abuse.”

King rebutted assertions that his inelegant way of expressing his disagreement with Sen. Cruz may have invited equally inelegant retorts. “I am a member of Congress, the Constitution explicitly protects my right to speak on any matter without fear of being accosted by the rabble,” King maintained. “Ordinary people shouldn’t be misusing the privilege of freedom of speech for intemperate attacks on those who govern them.”

So, since this is April 1st the report is factual? I’ll assume this and state that Peter King is a loud-mouth RINO puke.

Yeah, true. But remember John Semmens posts satire nearly every day, so on April 1st, the column has to be factual. In a fair world, this is how life would unfold.

So, with that in mind, Peter King is a loud-mouth RINO puke.

True about King being a loud-mouth puke. I can’t wait to see him jump off the bridge next year.

I got that after I commented. Is it sad that I could actually believe King would say that?

April fools is a silly day, but King is also still really an @$$h01€.
He needs to coose a bridge to do his leap.
