Ted Cruz So 'Hated' by Republicans That He'll 'Need a Food Taster' at Senate Lunches: ABC News Reporter

Cruz “does have a high tolerance for personal pain inside of his caucus.”

ABC News' Jonathan Karl told a panel on Sunday's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is so hated by fellow Republicans these days that he will "need a food taster" at weekly Senate lunches.

Karl's comments came during a discussion surrounding debt ceiling increases and Cruz' actions against them: "I’ll tell you, Ted Cruz is so hated among his Republicans," Karl said. "Now more so than even during the shutdown, at that...lunch they have every Tuesday, he's going to need a food taster."

Stephanopoulos replied that Cruz “does have a high tolerance for personal pain inside of his caucus.”
