Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for blocking further amendments to the highway funding bill. One of the amendments Senator McConnell had just filed would reauthorize the Export-Import Bank. Senator Cruz accused Senator McConnell of having lied to him about a deal to preserve the bank when Senator Cruz voted for a trade bill that killed funding for the bank.
