On Sunday, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), who complained the night before about having to do the work in Congress his constituents sent him to do, accused conservatives of not serving the public they were elected to serve.
At a press conference on Sunday, Moran accused Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who has been criticized for actually living up to his campaign promise to fight against Obamacare, and Republican Virginia Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli of steering Virginia “into the far-right corners of American policy,” refusing to compromise, and serving their own ambitions.
On Meet the Press, Cruz in turn pointed out that it is Democrats who have actually refused to compromise on Obamacare.
“They disservice the public that they were elected to serve,” Moran said of Cruz and Cuccinelli.
On Saturday night, Moran tweeted that he was fed up with having to be in Congress while the House of Representatives was debating whether to fund the military in the event of a government shutdown.
“Way to spend a Saturday night,” Moran tweeted. “#EnoughAlready.”
As Breitbart News reported, just two minutes before that tweet, Moran, whom taxpayers pay an annual salary of $174,000, had declared that he was “managing the debate on paying our troops” during what he claimed would be a “#GOPshutdown.”
