“Well, I appreciate you’re trying to lecture me in the morning." Ted Cruz cornered by CNN reporter during interview about the responsibilities of his job.

An interview involving Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Wednesday turned testy when the subject shifted to the Affordable Care Act.

During an appearance on CNN's "New Day," Cruz repeated his call to "start over" on health care reform, arguing that the law simply "isn't working." Host Chris Cuomo pushed back on that contention.

"How can we say it's not working when it isn't implemented yet?" Cuomo asked. "How can you say premiums are skyrocketing when they haven't put the plans into effect yet? You’re being a little dangerous with how much political spin you put on something that’s so central to the wellbeing of so many families?"

"Well, I appreciate the adjective you tossed my way," Cruz shot back.

When Cruz said he's heard from "men and women across Texas" who have lost their health insurance as a result of Obamacare, Cuomo pressed the senator on what solutions he would offer to those people.

“You don’t think that you have a responsibility as a U.S. Senator to do better than that in terms of offering a solution on what to do next?” the host asked.

“Well, I appreciate you’re trying to lecture me in the morning," Cruz said. "Thank you for that.”

Seriously how many men and women do we REALLY think put their hands on the shoulders of Ted Cruz to tell him they that had lost their health insurance? Yeah, none.

Cruz of course does not volunteer the fact that those "five million" people losing their health insurance are actually being offered alternate plans by their companies and now have the opportunity to find more comprehensive and less expensive insurance plans thanks to Obamacare.

Of course Cruz offers NOTHING of any value to solve the health care crisis in this country, except more demagoguery and attacks on the President for trying to do something to help. (You will notice that Cruz mentions nothing about the five million Americans who will not get insurance coverage because of Republican governor's refusal to expand medicaid in their states,)

Cruz is a sleazy, slippery, reptilian piece of shit, and I have no trouble believing that he is as widely disliked by his fellow Republicans as has been reported in the past.

Bottom line this guy cares about nobody except Ted Cruz, and believes he is above reproach, which is well illustrated by his snippy response to these questions posed by Chris Cuomo.
