Chris Wallace: Top Republicans Sent Me Opposition Research on Ted Cruz to 'Hammer' Him With

Fox News host Chris Wallace said on Sunday that top Republicans had sent him opposition research throughout the week on Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

Many top Republicans are upset that Cruz is threatening to filibuster if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reinserts funding for Obamacare, after the House stripped the money from a recently passed continuing resolution bill, Wallace said.

“This has been one of the strangest weeks I’ve ever had in Washington,” Wallace said. “As soon as we listed Ted Cruz as our featured guest this week, I got unsolicited research and questions, not from Democrats but from top Republicans, to hammer Cruz.”

On Friday, the Texas firebrand said he is prepared to filibuster and use "any procedural means necessary" to prevent President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare law from receiving any funding in the continuing resolution bill.
