Cruz timed his statement for the exact same time that McConnell was making a statement on the floor

Cruz was in hiding until McConnell made his statement on the Senate floor. At that exact time, Cruz came out from hiding and made a statement to the press. He intentionally stepped on McConnells statement. I think it really shows the lack of respect that Cruz has for his party and leadership.

He is a narcissist and a demagogue. When a person like that has power, of any kind, they are a danger to all of those around them.
