Watch Congressman Peter King try to put into words how much he hates Ted Cruz
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) has a couple of words for New Yorkers thinking of voting for Ted Cruz in the primary on Tuesday — namely, that they "should have their head examined."
Appearing on Morning Joe Tuesday, King jokingly clarified for the hosts that, "First of all, in case anybody is confused, I am not endorsing Ted Cruz, I hate Ted Cruz, and I think I'd take cyanide if he ever got the nomination."
King — who voted for John Kasich — represents central Long Island, a region that is expected to give Trump a boost in the New York primary. But King explained that if Trump wants the support of Republicans such as himself, he needs to get more substance and be more specific with his goals and plans.
