SAN ANTONIO — Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, on Tuesday invoked President Trump’s past attacks on Sen. Ted Cruz by calling him “Lyin’ Ted,” and saying Trump invented that nickname because Cruz lies.
“Sen. Cruz is not going to be honest with you,” O’Rourke said when asked about climate change after Cruz answered a question on that topic in their Senate debate. “He’s dishonest. It’s why the president called him Lyin’ Ted, and it’s why the nickname stuck. Because it’s true.”
