Anti-Tax Pundit Is Furious

Grover Norquist, the head of Americans for Tax Reform, which has been vocally in favor of dismantling Obamacare at all costs, is furious — seemingly both with the tea partiers who brought the United States to the brink of disaster, and with the members of Congress who failed to repeal Obamacare.

In an interview with National Review, he slammed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), though not by name, for comparing moderate Republicans to Neville Chamberlain:

“It’d be a good idea if they stopped referring to other Republicans as Hitler appeasers because they opposed the strategy they put forward which failed,” Norquist says. “I think if you make a mistake as big as what they did, you owe your fellow senators and congressmen a big apology — and your constituents, as well, because nothing they did advanced the cause of repealing or dismantling Obamacare.”
