Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told his fellow Republican candidates for President on Thursday that if they still aren’t concentrated on wiping out Obamacare, they should drop out of the race.
“I have made repeal of this disastrous law a top priority since the first day I arrived in the Senate and have made its repeal central to my campaign,” Cruz said in a statement.
“Any candidate not willing to do the same—and campaign on it every day—should step aside,” he added.
The rest of the statement was a colorful condemnation of the Supreme Court’s “nakedly political” decision to uphold Obamacare’s tax subsidies in King v. Burwell.
“[C]rocodile tears are flooding our nation’s capital today over the Supreme Court’s decision to illegally rewrite Obamacare, which has been a disaster since its inception,” he said.
“These robed Houdinis transmogrified a ‘federal exchange’ into an exchange ‘established by the State,'” Cruz added.
