Ted Cruz Slams Mitch McConnell, Urges GOP To Find New Leadership [VIDEO]

During an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Texas senator Ted Cruz ripped into Republican leader Mitch McConnell complaining that he hasn't done enough to help him win. 

Most people may not remember, but Texas senator Ted Cruz was actually the runner up to Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican nomination race. Cruz has since become one of Trump's chief toadies and is now locked in a serious race with Colin Allred for his Texas senate seat. 

Like Trump, Cruz cannot come to blame himself for his lack of popularity. In fact, the Republican is aiming his anger at McConnell, the leader of his party.

There will be a new Republican leader of the senate following the election and Cruz hinted what kind of person he'd like to see in the spot. 

"I want to see a majority leader who changes how the Senate operates, who democratizes it more," he said. "[I would like to see] a full and open amendment process."

Cruz then went directly after the senate minority leader, saying: 

"He’s basically behaved as a one-man dictator. I don’t think we want a leader who does that. I think when we win in November, and I believe we’re going to see a really good election, I think Trump’s going to win. I think we’re going to win a Republican Senate and Republican House. When that happens, we’ve got enormous work to do when that happens."
