Chris Wallace: Republican Leaders Sent Me Opposition Research on Ted Cruz



Chris Wallace said Sunday morning that he’d received opposition research from other Republicans about Senator Ted Cruz in advance of Cruz’s appearance on ‘Fox News Sunday’.

“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.”

Karl Rove responded: “This was a strategy laid out by Mike Lee and Ted Cruz without any consultation with their colleagues” “With all due respect to my junior Senator from Texas, I suspect this is the first time that the end game was described to any Republican Senator. They had to tune in to listen to you to find out what Ted’s next step was in the strategy.”
