“That is how I see it. It also explained why Cruz backed the TPA for a while. McConnell lied to him to get that support. I am glad Cruz explained it.”
On the Mark Levin program, Cruz explained that he was lied to by “leadership” about placing into the bill a prohibition of immigration changes, which enticed his yes vote. However, he neglected to explain the larger issue, which was to give Obama vast new power over the United States economy (according to McConnell, and that time he did not lie).
The link is to one of the articles I read about it at the time. I understood Cruz to say the he opposed TPA because of immigration concerns and the side deal for the EXIM bank, which McConnell did lie about. Maybe I read it wrong but I believe that is what this article says.
