In another sign that the GOP rift is widening, House Republicans report that they are now taking orders from Ted Cruz rather than John Boehner. Apparently Cruz held a conference call with Tea Party House members in which he advised them to reject Boehner's proposals.
Meanwhile non-Tea Party Republicans still have the knives out for Cruz, and it's becoming more public than ever. Rep. Steven King (R-NY) appeared on CNN and called Cruz a "fraud," a "kamikaze pilot," and a "medicine man" selling "phony goods."
