Texas Sen. Ted Cruz stunned a room full of conservatives in Washington, D.C. on Thursday when he fired off a joke about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s relationship that brought the roof down.
Speaking of the repeal of Obamacare’s individual tax mandate, Cruz mentioned that even former President Bill Clinton was against the healthcare reform program.
“Bill Clinton called Obamacare one of the craziest things in the world,” Cruz quipped. “It was one of the only things I’ve ever agreed with Bill Clinton about… other than Hillary.”
Ouch.
Cruz also talked about the first year of President Donald Trump’s administration.
“What we’ve seen in 2017, the record of delivering has been remarkable. There were long periods last year when all of us were frustrated, asking: ‘When are the clowns who call themselves Republicans going to get their act together to do anything?'” Cruz asked.
“But by the end of the year, if you look at the tax reform bill, you look at the individual mandate reform, if you look at judges – neil Gorsuch is a home run,” Cruz told the crowd to cheers. And when it came to appointing federal judges, “Barack Obama had 4; we had 12.”
“I think the American people are happy with the results we’re getting, and we need to keep getting those results,” Cruz told the crowd.
