Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., is no fan of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

The New York congressman made it clear on Monday’s "Morning Joe" that he will work to stop Cruz and his allies in their tracks.

“I’ve been speaking out against Ted Cruz and this whole crazy movement since it started,” King told MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski.

King also said he thought that “there’s no doubt that the Democrats are winning,” and that President Obama needed to play “a more aggressive role” in the negotiations to reopen the government and lift the debt ceiling.

King also warned that Cruz and his allies would pick another fight soon.

“We as Republicans have to anticipate there’s going to be another one of these in six weeks or eight weeks or three months — whatever it is,” King said. “And we just can’t have national Republicans criticizing the system.”

Isn’t it the Republican position to question the government?

“We have to anticipate Ted Cruz is going to try to do this again,” King said. “Ted Cruz, and 30 or 40 people in the House — and we have to start going after him by name.”

King claimed that Cruz will try to “rewrite history” when his movement loses.

“What will happen is months from now, after this is resolved, he’s going to say, ‘Republicans were on the verge of winning, but they lost their nerve at the end and they caved in — this time it’s going to work.’” King said.

“And [Cruz] is going to rewrite history and we have to make sure he doesn’t do it,” King said. “It’s really time to speak out against him.”

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

OK, Peter King has just put a real NICE and BIG Bullet’s Eye on his back!

I say let’s TAKE DOWN Peter King in the next election. I would VOTE for the Democrat. We don’t need TRAITORS in our side of the fence. If I have an ENEMY, I want to see that ENEMY for what he is. Give me the RAT instead!

Peter King couldn’t take Obama’s daughters. He’s no match for a statesman like Ted Cruz.

Run, Pete, run! I want you to get crushed in a debate with Cruz

[SoConPubbie]

Pete King is a Collaborator!

Peter King's new goal: Take down Ted Cruz

Bold talk for a four-eyed fat man.

[Army Air Corps]

Peter, you are part of the problem. With friends like you, who needs enemies? You and the other Vichy Republicans can smooch my butt. Depart from the company of patriots and lick the boots of your master.

[rightwingextremist1776]

Ya mean like that fat turd Governor over here in NJ?

Yeah, I'm votin ‘Rat in that one....

" .... criticizing The System"

Capitalization and emphasis mine .... this says it all.

>> OK, Peter King has just put a real NICE and BIG Bullet’s Eye on his back! I say let’s TAKE DOWN Peter King in the next election. <<

Freepers have been saying that since Peter King demonized any conservative who went after Clinton in 1998. Then King works the talk shows when the primary election rolls around, and beats his chest about how pro-life and anti-illegal alien he is, and promises that he alone will investigate Sharia law and locate radical Muslims in the U.S.

The result is a bunch of gullible conservatives decide all is forgiven and that we "need" King in Congress.

Call me cynical if I don't believe King's 326,764,325th example of his backstabbing treason will FINALLY convince conservatives to dump him..

[LibFreeUSA]

Yeah, He’s FULL of it too. I live in NJ. The RATs here are the worst (outside of maybe Chicago and NYC), but Christie should not be allowed anywhere near national office.

King: Any suggestion that Republicans could possibly win in a fight with Democrats must be squashed immediately!

Here’s the thing little peter, you’re a Rino without a horn, just an empty blow hard...

Cruz takes little peter king to leadership school but little peter won’t lead, can’t follow, and thrives on getting in the way.

Cruz is setting the standard, raising the bar far above self service, making integrity, honesty, boldness, character and sacrifice, once again the principles of leadership, he is quickly gaining the respect, confidence and loyalty from all those who wish to once again see a free republic.

[rightwingextremist1776]

Yup...time to kick the stool out from under the tool...

I can’t WAIT to pick the ‘Rat over the fat turd.....

You are dead on! He's a rat in snake's clothing!

[Vaquero]

[longfellow]

The King is dead.
