Real Comity

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas continues his campaign to be the most well-liked and effective member of the U.S. Senate:

Sen. Ted Cruz is calling for an official investigation into the Republican Senate primary runoff in Mississippi between Sen. Thad Cochran and the challenger, state Sen. Chris McDaniel.
The Texas Republican on Monday evening called the runoff contest “appalling” and said that allegations of voter fraud need to be investigated.

“We’ve seen serious allegations of voter fraud,” Cruz said on “The Mark Levin Show.” “And I very much hope that no Republican was involved in voter fraud. But these allegations need to be vigorously investigated and anyone involved in criminal conduct should be prosecuted.”

In effectively calling for his colleague, Thad Cochran, to be prosecuted, Sen. Cruz has showed just how comity really works.
