WASHINGTON – Just days after publicly calling the majority leader a liar on the Senate floor, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has upped the stakes in his war on GOP brass by accusing Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., of spearheading the effort to keep taxpayer funds going to Planned Parenthood.
In a statement that mentioned “gruesome videos of senior officials of Planned Parenthood discussing the selling of body parts of unborn children,” Cruz blasted McConnell for blocking an amendment by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to defund the abortion provider.
“These videos are horrifying, and yet it saddens me greatly that the Republican leader led the effort to continue the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood,” charged Cruz.
On Friday, when he accused McConnell of lying to his face about making a secret deal with Democrats, Cruz had said that was because McConnell had no interest in championing a conservative agenda.
Cruz also said McConnell has led the Senate just as Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., would have, because they both do the bidding of big business and donors rather than serve the will of the people.
“The McConnell-Reid leadership team has no interest in cutting off one penny of funds to Planned Parenthood, which is why leader Mitch McConnell just blocked a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood,” observed Cruz on Monday.
He added, “To the millions of Americans who rallied in November believing if only we got a Republican majority in the Senate something would be different, this was a clarifying and a sad moment.”
Cruz was relentless, continuing, “[T]o see the so-called Republican leadership whip against allowing a vote to defund Planned Parenthood — it has the virtue of clarity. It makes clear that the McConnell-Reid leadership team is united in favor of big government spending and debt and power.”

or they say we have to play liberal until we get the White House or something
Cruz was doing this stuff long before Trump thought about getting in
The $$ draw for Mitch and other evil RINO’s, that they receive in donations/various paybacks from this evil entity, is just too powerful to stop.
Uncle Sugar/Satan has the DC cartel addicted....they can’t live without their next fix.
We just have to admit now and forever, that RINO’s are not “moderates” they are leftists, they are not even good at pretending to be conservative-light any more.
Now the RINO’s are basically admitting they aren’t pro-life.
You are forgiven, now go and sin no more, and spread the gospel of Cruz! lol
OHHHH seriously
I check out CBS news come on later here in SO CAL
Ted Cruz never planned for a long 30 years in foggy bottom corruption. He’s doing what he said he would.
I could see him start a 3rd party push after his term is up if not in the White House.
The last thing Ted wants is to hand around all the corruption known as Washington Politics as a Career.
He’ll make Millions as a Practicing Attorney if he chooses to go pack to it.
Ted picked the right target. Mitch will be resigning before this is over. He has become too much of a liability to the elites.
Not according the the Fox “news” panel.
Cruz is just trying to get on the Trump train.
The JERKS!
That’s cause they think selling baby parts is cool.
No doubt.
Jerks or idiots.
I don’t even care if he runs as a Third Party candidate or not. He’s nothing like the vast majority of Republicans, anyway.
Also proves that at the end of the day there is no real difference between Fox and CNN.
Hey those terrorist thugs illegally tricked those poor doctors into thinking they were trying out for a movie part on Goznell's life, then the illegally edited those videos to show something they did not say. There should be charges filed against those vile movie makers. Or so Ma Richards' spawn said.
Britt said when he retired that he was going to practice the three G's, God, Grand children and Golf. I didn't get a chance to ask him which god he was referring to, but hey maybe he was talking about the one most Christians think of when they say God, then again maybe not.
Well put. Except I would say dessicated alcohol-soaked turds.
Yes he probably was, it just never mattered before
because he was powerless to do any of the things
we needed done. Now that he is powerful he has done
everything Obama wanted done and nothing we voted
them in to do.This is the way they always were, they just weren't needed, until now.
I think maybe he was referring to himself.
His attitude was dripping with condescension.
Sharp, truthful and cutting commentary by Mr. Cruz directed at that Nazi weasel McConnell.
