“When it comes to Pelosi, her threat is really quite remarkable. Her threat to the Senate is, ‘Do exactly what I want, or I’m not going to impeach the president. I’m not going to send over the impeachment articles.’ My attitude is, okay, throw us in that briar-patch. Don’t send them; that’s alright, we actually have work to do. Some of us are showing up fighting for more jobs, for higher wages, for the working men and women who elected us.”

– Sen. Ted Cruz, on Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to send her articles of impeachment to the Senate.
