Ted Cruz apologizes for inconveniencing his fellow Senators by stalling the cromnibus bill

 At a luncheon today Ted Cruz apologized for “inconveniencing” his fellow Republican Senators by forcing them to change their travel plans ahead of the holiday when he delayed the vote on the Boehner/Obama cromnibus bill.

Ted Cruz privately apologized to GOP senators Tuesday for interrupting their holiday schedules by his surprise tactics that effectively brought the Senate into session over the weekend.

According to five senators who attended Tuesday’s caucus lunch, Cruz offered the apology in unsolicited remarks, saying that he regretted if any of his colleagues’ schedules were ruined by his maneuvering. He didn’t say whether he would do something similar again, senators said.

“Yes, the senator acknowledged that a number of his colleagues had to unexpectedly change their weekend plans, and he apologized to them for inconveniencing their personal schedules. That was not his intention,” Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said. “His intention was to secure a vote on President [Barack] Obama’s illegal executive amnesty, and to use every procedural means to do so.”

    It does not appear as if he apologized for his actions or for the point he was trying to make, he only apologized for “inconveniencing” people who felt they had more important things to do–like go home when they should have been fighting against this legislation.

  I find it to be quite telling that so many Republicans were upset at Ted Cruz because he inconvenienced them and would rather go home than do what we sent them to Washington to do–especially after the message we sent them just last month–but I guess you have to have priorities, right?
