Peter King: �Vile� phone calls by Ted Cruz allies

Rep. Peter King, who has pulled no punches in criticizing Ted Cruz, said Thursday that supporters of the Texas senator have been bombarding his office with �vile� phone calls.

The New York Republican has called Cruz a fraud for his calls to defund Obamacare, and said the senator�s campaign this summer to get the House to pass a government funding bill that defunds the health care law led to some offensive phone calls to King�s office.



�The vehemence of the phone calls coming into the office. I don�t care, people can call me whatever they want � I haven�t heard such vile, profane, obscene language,� King said on MSNBC�s �Morning Joe� on Thursday.

King said while the majority of Cruz fans are �good people,� he�s concerned about what sentiments Cruz has preyed on. While he doesn�t know if Republicans can reach Cruz, they should try to �heal tensions� with his supporters, he said.



�I�m not saying Ted Cruz is responsible for all his supporters, but he has tapped into a dark strain here in the American political psyche here, and again, the most obscene, profane stuff you can imagine all from people who say they support the Constitution,� King said. �I think what we have to do is reach out to his people and let them know that they�re following a false leader here.�

Good luck with that.

If by, "dark strain" that fat yankee mofo means folks who are fed up with the likes of him and his ilk, then yes, he is correct. If I were him, I wouldn't look favorable on those who thought I deserved, at a minimum, a no-schidt pole-axing.

King's just one more that needs to be sent packing..

The only group that eats their own more then christians are republicans.

I agree with him. I don't want Cruz in congress either. He belongs in the white house.

the GOP elite all need to go. They ARE the problem.

Any of u that did not call and pull your name off the repubs voter rolls .....are part of the problem. imo

Why?

We've allowed "false leaders" to reach high positions in the party. It's time for THEM to go.

back stabbing there own for a start......but then to some folks that's the new normal

So you are suggesting sending a message to the party through the flight of registered voters?

The Queen doth protest too much, methinks.

he shoots ...he scores! .... mclame and their ilk, are playing on their own team ... just like rose' betting on baseball.

Agreed.

The King is protesting way too much. Is this all he's got? No substantive argument against Cruz? No clear explanation of support for OCare?

The "term limits" begin November 4, 2014. Elections matter and hopefully the electorate has had a good dose of Obamacare by then.
