Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) hit back at New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Wednesday, as he doubled down on his defense for opposing a 2013 relief package to aid victims of Superstorm Sandy.
“I’m sorry there are politicians who seem really desperate to get their names in the news and will are saying whatever they need to do that,” Cruz said during an appearance on “Fox and Friends.”
The Texas senator was responding to Christie saying Cruz was lying about why he voted no on the $50.5 billion package to aid victims of the superstorm that devastated parts of New Jersey and New York. Cruz said he voted against the bill because it was a bad piece of legislation that was two-thirds full of spending unrelated to the superstorm. The Washington Post fact-checked Cruz’s claim and found that claim untrue.
