Beto O'Rourke: "I don't "publicly" think Ted Cruz is "a giant asshole"
The Hill @thehill 5m5 minutes agoDem challenger: I don't "publicly" think Ted Cruz is "a giant asshole" http://hill.cm/Xhgf26F
Sen. Ted Cruz's (Texas) Democratic challenger says in a new interview that he doesn't "publicly" believe Cruz is an "asshole," apparently walking back the sentiment from a recent appearance on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher."
Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) told The New York Times's Frank Bruni he was just "moving the conversation along" when he replied "that's true" after Maher told him, “don’t forget, [Cruz is] a giant asshole.”
“I think I was just moving the conversation along,” O'Rourke said in the interview published Saturday. “Anyhow, I don’t think that Ted Cruz is an asshole.”
“I certainly don’t think that publicly,” he added, when pressed.
