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.

You cannot honestly believe a federal pol has not heard of another federal pol that lives on Television spouting liberalism can you?

Myself and Cruz believe what he said and we are sticking to it.

What in the Wide World of Sports are Wolf Points? Since I do not watch the show, I must be missing something.

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

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

You made my comment un-necessary.

Who are the 2 highest TV Republicans? Boehner and Cantor? Lindsey and McCain? Paul Ryan and Romney? Cornyn and McConnell? Rand Paul and Grover Norquist?

Does he actually get on prime time on Fox News or some News lineup that is dominant in the market?

There are many people who dont know the difference between Steve(IA) and Peter King.
