Conservatives slammed fact-checking site Politifact for giving Sen. Ted Cruz a false rating for saying Republicans didn’t “rig” the Supreme Court when they held control of the Senate.
“Lying liars lie & that’s what Politi'fact' does every day. To ‘pack’ the Supreme Court is to ADD seats for political advantage. Republicans did NOT do so when we had control-nobody even suggested it,” Cruz tweeted in response to the fact check. “Now, Dems have filed legislation to EXPAND SCOTUS from 9 to 13 Justices. FACT.”

Politifact published an analysis last Thursday that found Cruz's statements “false” when he said: “You didn't see Republicans when we had control of the Senate try to rig the game. You didn't see us try to pack the court.”
