Pete Sessions: Ted Cruz Secretly Plotted Against Me

Fresh off a primary victory over a
tea party challenger, incumbent Texas Rep. Pete
Sessions thinks Sen. Ted Cruz
secretly helped lead the battle against him.
The Republican Texas senator
declined to formally endorse either candidate, but he didn’t hide his
admiration for tea party candidate Katrina Pierson, who challenged Sessions in
the GOP primary. Days after Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, formally endorsed
Pierson, Ted Cruz called Pierson "utterly fearless" at a rally in
Texas, according to The Dallas Morning News
– not an official endorsement, but Pierson posted the statement on her
website as evidence of his support of her campaign.
Sessions is convinced that Cruz
wasn’t just an admirer of Pierson's, but that he was a major force behind it.
"I don’t think there’s any
doubt that Sen. Cruz did get involved and had ideas about who he would prefer
to work with, and that’s OK," Sessions said in a Sunday interview on Dallas’ KXAS-TV.
Despite the allegation, Sessions
sounded a conciliatory note.
"What I would say to you is
that Sen. Cruz and our Republican Party are going to have to find a way to work
closer and better together, and now that the race is over, I look forward to
doing the same," he said.
Sessions has served in the House
since 1996, and is chair of the House Rules Committee – a position of power, as
the committee decides how bills are debated on the House floor.
Pierson was a top volunteer for
Ted Cruz’s successful 2012 campaign for the Senate, according to The Dallas
Morning News.
