Rep. Peter King (R-NY) continued his all-out assault on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Friday morning with an appearance on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports wherein he mentioned that “nobody has accomplished extra to enhance Obamacare” than his adversary, the tea birthday celebration senator from Texas.

“This used to be the means of Ted Cruz,” King mentioned of the actions which have led the Republican Celebration to record lows in Gallop’s favorability ballot. “Going again to mid-September, I said that Ted Cruz was once a fraud, there there used to be a dead-end to this coverage, and that it made no experience to observe it.” He added, “We can’t permit our birthday party to be taken over via the likes of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. These are folks, isolationists, I believe RINO’s, because they don’t consider traditional Republican rules.”

After viewing pictures of Cruz conversing at as of late’s Values Voter Summit, King made his claim about the senator “strengthening” the very legislation he aimed to dismantle. “Given that he began this maniacal campaign of his, in point of fact, over the past 10 days, improve of Obamacare has long past up 7% within the united states of america,” he stated. “No longer because Obamacare is working, now not as a result of it’s performed out neatly at all, however because he’s given this type of bad image to the anti-Obamacare forces.

“President Obama and supporters of Obamacare should thank Ted Cruz,” King endured, “as a result of he’s their largest ally presently.”

King instructed Home Speaker John Boehner to seize the current opportunity, re-open the federal government and lift the debt ceiling and handiest then begin negotiating over the underlying considerations. Sounding a whole lot like President Obama and the Democrats, King mentioned, “So far as tax reform, as far as spending cuts, so far as entitlement reform, that may be carried out in the context the place we don’t have a gun to our head or a gun to the head of the monetary markets on this united states.”
