Barf Alert: Cruz stages photo op outside Capitol greeting visitors after government reopens

[kpete]

MSNBC host Chuck Todd on Thursday showed a clip of what seemed to be a staged photo op of Cruz shaking hands and welcoming visitors back into the U.S. Capitol with the building’s dome strategically framed behind him.



“Sen. Ted Cruz is standing outside of the Capitol building greeting visitors. Interesting PR tactic,” Fulbright Fellow Jonathan Rice tweeted.


Amanda Carpenter, a speechwriter for Cruz, was quick to note that the senator was “meeting WWII honor flight vets, I think.”

“Fair enough,” Rice replied. “Still, considering that the TV cameras were at the ready, interesting.”

This man has been in the senate less than a year and he's already shut down the government and brought us to the brink of default. He's pissed off most all of his fellow Republicans. If they don't neutralize him somehow sometime soon then whatever happens is their own damned fault.
