U.S. Senator Ted Cruz drew rebukes Sunday from fellow Republicans for attacking Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on the Senate floor and using the chamber to advance what one lawmaker called “personal ambitions.”
The anger at Cruz, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, came after the Texan called McConnell a liar on Friday for allowing a vote on an amendment to a highway funding bill that would re-charter the U.S. Export-Import Bank.
