So is King wrong? Prove it. or you’re just ranting.
From what I can find, the senate bill was introduced 4/14/15 but was never voted on. This would mean King is the one who is a lying sack....

No, you and Pete King prove it.
Start by identifying the bill.
Then identify completely what's in the bill.
Anything short of that by Pete King is BS.
It was an extension of the original Zadroga act, and it was in the Omnibus Bill, which Cruz, of course, voted against. However, there was a stand-alone Zadroga Act which Cruz refused to co-sponsor or fight for, that is what King means when he says that Cruz didn't co-sponsor or vote for the bill. TEchnically correct.
This is all political weeds stuff to me. But it does seem the stand-alone bill could have used Cruz's support and advocacy, as well as his high profile among conservatives. Ted is a very slimy guy. You'll seldom find him doing things straight up and out front, especially if they don't heighten his profile.
