Ted Cruz gripes that ‘folks in the media’ still blame him for government shutdown

Freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) chided reporters on Tuesday for continuing to ask him about last fall’s Republican-led shutdown of the federal government. According to Yahoo! News, the Tea Party favorite is trying to change the subject every time he’s asked about it.

From a risible appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer” last Sunday to a press conference on Tuesday, Cruz appears determined to shift the blame for the disastrous political maneuver on to Democrats and the Obama administration.

“I didn’t threaten to shut down the government the last time. I don’t think we should ever shut down the government. I repeatedly voted to fund the federal government,” Cruz told Schieffer. “It was Harry Reid and President Obama.”

His remarks on Tuesday continued in that vein.

His ilk feeds off of attention. They won't do anything to distinguish themselves, so they pull stunts to make sure they're known. In their eyes, there's no such thing as bad publicity.
