Ted Cruz AWOL on NSA and Rand Paul filibuster

Senator Ted Cruz appears to be AWOL during Rand Paul’s historic (and ongoing) filibuster of the badly named ‘Patriot Act’ and illegal NSA spying on American citizens. And his supporters appear to not be pleased. This is Senator Cruz’s only online appearance via Twitter today. Talk about tone deaf–and read the responses. Almost all of them are asking, “Where are you?” UPDATE: Ted Cruz is on the floor now somewhat supporting Rand Paul’s filibuster. Scroll down for more info.
