Ted Cruz smacked down for wasting time in 'testy' exchange during COVID bill negotiations: report

According to Grace Segers reporting for CBS, Democratic senators ganged up on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) early Saturday morning for wasting time during negotiations over the COVID relief bill after he complained about a non-existent portion of the bill.

Weary senators from both parties have been haggling about amendments all night, with Segers noting the atmosphere is getting "testy."

As for Cruz, he proposed an amendment to the bill which he contended would allow undocumented immigrants to get relief checks.

After being told the bill doesn't give undocumented immigrants checks, he asked for more time which led to a chorus of exasperated "no's" from Democrats.
