House GOP Aide: 'Nancy Pelosi Is More Well-Liked' Than Ted Cruz

Igor Bobic – September 19, 2013, 5:55 PM EDT


House Republicans are still steamed at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for what they claim is an apparent last minute retreat in an effort to defund Obamacare in exchange for funding the federal government.

House GOP aides exchanged angry emails and even cursed at "amateur" Cruz in the cloakroom Wednesday, according to a National Review Online report published Thursday.

“Cruz keeps raising conservatives’ hopes, and then, when we give him what he wants, he doesn’t have a plan to follow through,” one aide said, according to NRO. “Nancy Pelosi is more well-liked around here," said another.

Rep. Pete King (R-NY) had another message for the Lone Star State firebrand Thursday evening: Mind your own business.

"He should stay in the Senate, keep quiet," he said on CNN. "If he can deliver on this, fine. If he can't, he should keep quiet from now on and we shouldn't listen to him."

Speaking he sounds like a whiny kid, I sure hope a lot more Texans wake up and kick that zero to the curb.
