Michael Steele thinks House Speaker John Boehner needs to keep closer tabs on Sen. Ted Cruz.
The former Republican National Committee chairman on Monday poked fun at reports that some House Republicans changed their minds on crucial border legislation last week after meeting with Cruz, the Texas Republican and tea party icon.
“For John Boehner, whenever any of his members says, ‘Hey, I’m about to have pizza and beer with Ted Cruz,’ he should be concerned,” Steele joked. “Really look at the calendar and see if there’s a vote coming up,” he said, adding that Cruz “undermined” GOP leaders.
Steele criticized congressional Republicans for their failure to pass the original House border bill last Thursday, calling it a “sad display” for the GOP.
“I think it was a very sad display for the party,” Steele said on MSNBC. “I think it showed not just inept but weak leadership.”
Steele said that the new Republican leadership team of Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana “can’t count,” noting the House’s canceled vote on the border bill Thursday after realizing it didn’t have the requisite votes....

I hope Senator Cruz continues to undermine our so-called “leaders”, Steele. They’re on the WRONG side.
Michael Steele actually meets the requirements for being an Uncle Tom. He is a complete sellout.
I like Ted Cruz, but I am doubtful on his pizza judgment. I’ll be happy to have a steak or some Texas BBQ or even some Cuban cuisine with him, though.
Well Michael, if they were that easily, "undermined," then they weren't much in the way, "leaders," to begin with.
LOL. Boner is SO docile....
They need undermined
Yep, steele was a complete loser (or “looser” for those libs ;’) and is the LAST guy to be telling anyone how to run the show.
Now that’s an image that won’t soon leave my brain
Didn’t think it was possible for something to make Mooch look small

Mitt Romney Sends Leftover Pizza to Obama Chicago HQ
After spending the day in Chicago fundraising, Mitt Romney
sat down with small business owners at Gino's East,
a pizza joint famous for their deep-dish pizza.
In fact, Romney himself tweeted a photo of a
delivery boy heading out with the loot, writing,
"Great deep dish at @ginoseast.
Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team."
Cruz is just doing something that Bohner won’t do: lead from the right.
I'm more of a prime rib guy, myself. Not that I've had any in recent memory.
(McConnell will hopefully lose and Cruz' could do well by leading the GOP (e & et. al.) House for two years.)
“For John Boehner, whenever any of his members says, ‘Hey, I’m about to have pizza and beer with Ted Cruz,’ he should be concerned,” Steele joked.
Images of Boehner standing at the railing of the GOPe Titanic crying, as he watches conservative House members in lifeboats heading towards the SS Palin/Cruz fill my head... “Bye Bye...sniffle.. sniffle...”
Soldiers are told not to eat in front of muslims. Republicans are told not to eat pizza with Cruz.
I seem to remember that Lou Duba, the boxing trainer, used to send a prostitute along with a pizza and a six pack of beer to the opponent of his fighter every night before the fight.
Oh man. That looks divine.
I don’t do beef and I don’t do pizza. Have not had beef in a long time....but that prime rib looks like it might, just maybe...worth a trip to Morton’s.
MMMMMmmmmm....
Maybe Steele ought to quit blabbing like some authority about everything all the time. Listen for a change, really. Listen to the people, not the RINO Whisperers.
Michael Steele....now, there’s one to take advice from. Not.
