WASHINGTON — New York Republican Peter King is boycotting a state party dinner tomorrow night featuring Sen. Ted Cruz over the Texas conservative’s efforts to defeat a Hurricane Sandy bill earlier this year.
“I don’t think we should be acknowledging people who are voting against us in our hour of need,” King told BuzzFeed of his decision to not attend the dinner.
that holds true in we should not be voting for those who vote against us in our last 5 years of need. everyone who got a 2010 job raise your hand.
true republican double standards all the way.
King has loudly criticized Republicans like Cruz who come to New York to raise money but voted against the Hurricane Sandy bill, and has urged other Republicans to freeze out opponents to the relief bill.“Once I found it was him,” King explained, “I decided not to go. I don’t know if I would have gone or not because of scheduling things, but that made it easy once I found out it was Ted Cruz.”The New York Republican State Committee dinner invitation prominently notes that Cruz is “appearing at this event only as a featured guest. Senator Ted Cruz is not asking for funds or donations.” The event will raise money for the state party committee and tickets are being sold for $1,000–$10,000.“I said I would not have invited him,” King said. “[Republican State Chairman] Ed Cox says it serves a purpose, I just disagree.”
is there discontent in the party of no, well why don't they say no, oh he did my bad, Johnny not gonna invite Joey to his party because he said something he didn't like, classic grade scholl playground banter from the kids across the hall.
