Texas Senator Won’t Back Down To Critics

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) isn’t letting his critics get him down. Cruz was questioned in a recent interview about his strategy to defund Obamacare and the heat he’s taken. He shrugged it off, “I don’t work for party bosses.”

Cruz displayed his typical stubbornness, and pounded back at naysayers saying, “the people I work for are the women and men and men you just saw. I work for 26 million Texans. That’s my job to fight for them. I don’t work for the party bosses in Washington. I work for the people of Texas and I fight for them.”

Cruz asserted in the interview that he’s being honest about his dealings publicly, and he wished his colleagues would do the same. “And you know what’s interesting? Virtually every person in that room, that was criticizing what Mike Lee and I were doing, would’ve said very different things if a camera was in this room. Because what they’re telling their constituents is very different from what they’re saying behind closed doors,” Cruz stated.

Despite the heat the fiery Texan has taken in general, he’s still popular in the GOP. His donors claim that they are very satisfied customers, despite all the trouble he’s caused.
