Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) said on Twitter that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has made Washington worse since he arrived.
Ted Cruz said he would go to Washington and change Washington. He has — he’s made it worse.

Castro’s tweet came the same day that Cruz conducted an extended speech on his opposition to Obamacare.
A number of top Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), criticized the plan by Cruz and others to filibuster a continuing resolution bill that already passed the House which also defunds Obamacare. The Senate is likely to strip the defunding provision from the continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown.
