Ted Cruz Lie Exposed By Student He Used To Disparage Obamacare

http://egbertowillies.com/2013/09/28/ted-cruz-lie-exposed-student-used-disparage-obamacare-video/

It is no surprise that Ted Cruz got caught in yet another lie. What is surprising is how sloppy and irresponsible it was. Then again given that this man’s irresponsibility in unnecessarily delaying voting on a Continuing Resolution to keep the government running, it should be expected.

During Ted Cruz faux-libuster he referenced John Connelly, a 22 year old Rutgers University student. Cruz said,

John Connelly thought he was on the right track in life. The son of a New Jersey auto mechanic, he was the first in his family to go to college when he enrolled in Rutgers in 2009,” … “Four years later, the 22-year-old found himself $21,000 in debt, without a permanent job and sleeping on friends’ couches in New Jersey and Brooklyn.


Turns out Cruz or one of his aides did a botch job in their research and took Connelly out of context based on a Wall Street Journal article in which he was mentioned.

He needs ACA to at least be able to go to the doctor when he gets sick.
