Lott Would Have Had Cruz Thrown Out

Former Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) says if Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) had called him a liar on the Senate floor, as he did to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) last year, he would have taken a much harder line, The Hill reports.

Said Lott: “Having been majority leader, I’ve never had someone stand on the Senate floor and call me a liar. In fact, if I had been in the Senate at that time I would have moved to have him removed from the Senate chamber physically.”
