Peter King to Ted Cruz: I’m the ‘Third-Highest Republican’ on TV, So There (VIDEO)
Mediaite ^ | June 18 2014 | Tina Nguyen

So apparently, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY2) are in some sort of petty pre-GOP Presidential Primary bitchfight, and in the process turned CNN into their Burn Book.

On the Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer played a clip of some comments Cruz made last night to Erin Burnett — in which Cruz essentially called King an irrelevant basic bitch — and then asked King if he’d like to respond.

“Sure, why not?” King said, and then went off on how he was queen bee of the GOP and that Cruz better check himself.

“Maybe if he had listened to me over the years, he’d be a little smarter,” King said. “I was, I think, the third-highest Republican on national television shows last year. I’m on your show all the time.” So in the congressman’s universe, influence is directly correlated with how often you appear on cable news and/or Sunday talk shows.

“That shows he’s not watching you, Wolf, so I think you should go after Cruz for not watching you,” he added, and Wolf awarded King Wolf Points.

Looks like Ted’s arrow punctured that gasbag’s ego just as intended!

Pete King was also the first congressman to start screaming for laws to protect congressmen from their constituents after the Giffords shooting.

This is hilarious

“That shows he’s not watching you, Wolf,”

HAHAHAHAH, Of course he’s not! CNN has 13 viewers. Why would Cruz watch that crap?

Peter...you’re on TV so much because you bash republicans...McCain does the same thing.

Cruz is on because he’s interesting and intelligent not to mention provocative.

"I was, I think, the third-highest Republican on national television shows last year."

And yet, nobody knows what your (my old) party stands for. Seems to me you need replaced Mr. King.

If he never appeared on TV again, would anyone care? King is a legend in his own mind.

I often wondered if he was on something when he was on TV.

Well OBVIOUSLY Cruz loves Obama. That is the only conclusion one can draw. I mean thats the truth, we are told, by our fellow Freepers of the left when we speak ill of their sacred RINOs and hold them to any conservative standard. I had one tell me I’m a paid staffer today for supporting conservative positions.

So either Cruz is an Obama supporter like many here are said to be, or the Freeper RINO Left is lying about the rest of us. It cannot be both ways.

Rep. Peter King: "...I was, I think, the third-highest Republican on national television shows last year..."

Why settle with merely being the third-highest Republican, Mr. King? Just a few more bong hits and you can be absolutely the highest, bar none. Spark it up, buddy.
