Dem Sen. Michael Bennet Rages About Ted Cruz’s “Crocodile Tears” To Reopen The Government [VIDEO]

As you surely recall, Ted Cruz virtually single-handedly shut down the federal government in 2013.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., bellowed at GOP Sen. Ted Cruz on the Senate floor Thursday and accused Cruz of faking his desire to re-open the government. “These crocodile tears that the senator from Texas is crying for first responders are too hard for me to take,” Bennet said.

“They’re too hard for me to take, because when the senator from Texas shut this government down in 2013, my state was flooded,” he said as his voice rose to a yell. “It was underwater. People were killed. People’s houses were destroyed,” he said. “Their small businesses were ruined, forever.”

Cruz bemoaning Michael Bennet for “bellowing” and “angry” speech toward him. Cruz says he has never done anything like that.
Um, Cruz called Mitch McConnell “a liar” over and over again on Senate floor in 2015.https://t.co/NMwdmyQnBE
