Several House members are backing up Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and his leadership role in the effort to defund Obamacare in the wake of attacks from the mainstream media and anonymous statements from establishment Republicans and their staffers.

“I do feel obligated to speak because Senator Cruz is my senator and I endorsed him last year in his election against Lt. Gov. [David] Dewhurst,” Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) said in response to a question from Breitbart News at Thursday’s Conversations with Conservatives press event on Capitol Hill. “We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for his vision and his leadership," he explained. "We are grateful for the fact that we are here today with this opportunity to deliver for the American people. We hope that the American people will help the Senate understand the enormous task that is in front of us.”

Does anyone else see the momentum now with the Defund movement? Since Cruz and Lee went on their barnstorming tour over the congressional break, polling and support for this has really taken off. It also has forced the House leadership to get a spine and take on the WH. Even Drunk Johnny is openly mocking Zero now. This is a good fight for the GOP for more than just trying to slow down Zerocare. It is giving the party something to do that means something.
