Cruz Rips Senate For ‘Theater and Show Votes’ One Hour After Epic ‘Look-At-Me’ Speech

It can be difficult to operate at full capacity when struggling with severe sleep deprivation, I know. Still, the complete lack of self-awareness that it takes for a person who just completed a 21-hour speech on the Senate floor (which accomplished nothing other than splashing his own name and face across every television, newspaper, and computer screen in America) to go on national radio just one hour later and say this is mind-boggling.

“A lot of folks have been in office way too long,” Cruz said during an interview on Rush Limbaugh’s show. “They have stopped listening to their constituents and as a result we see lots of theater, lots of symbolic votes and very little willingness to actually stand up and fight.” …

“We don’t even talk about how to win a fight,” he said. “We talk about, ‘hey lets have a show vote so we can go tell our constituents we are doing something.’ But I promise you, Rush, if you had to sit through one Senate lunch, you would be in therapy for a month.”

Cognitive dissonance: it’s a thing.
