Americans for
Tax Reform (ATR) president Grover Norquist has now turned to left-wing media to
continue his smear campaign against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), a first-year senator
already emerging as a leader of the Republican Party.
“I have never
had a criticism of Ted Cruz’s strategy because I’ve never been able to find

Washington, D.C., organization, recently attacked the National Review’s Andrew Johnson on Twitter. “hey look,
the idiot from NRO who thinks shutting down the govt defunds obamacare is
attacking me, too,” Ellis tweeted, referencing a story Johnson posted
