The jabs from the congressman and U.S. Senate candiate capped a raucous night of speeches at the party’s biennial state convention in El Paso.
U.S. Rep. Colin Allred , a former NFL linebacker, told Texas Democrats on Friday that football players have a saying for those who put themselves first at the cost of their teams: “me guys.” Ted Cruz , the senator he’s trying to unseat this fall, is a great example, Allred said.
Ted Cruz warns Texas Republicans of tough matchup with Colin Allred “Unfortunately, Washington, D.C. is full of me guys, but no one – and I know this from my six years now in Congress – no one is more self-serving, more disconnected from Texans’ needs than Ted Cruz,” he said. “We don’t have to be embarrassed by our senator. We can get a new one.” The jabs capped a raucous night of speeches at the party’s biennial state convention in El Paso.
