Cruz Accuses GOP Leaders of Blocking PAC Donations

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that the House Republican leadership “had made it next to impossible for him to get money from Super PACs after he filibustered the Affordable Care Act in 2013 — an action that helped trigger a 16-day government shutdown,” the Washington Post reports.

“Cruz first made the allegation Friday in an interview with the New Hampshire Journal, claiming that he and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) had their money spigot turned off by leadership because blocking access to money is how leadership disciplines members. Cruz did not specify who in the leadership may have cut him off.”
