Cruz unapologetic about 'whirlwind' first year

Sen. Ted Cruz is unapologetic for what he acknowledges was a “whirlwind” first year as a senator.

“This is a city where it’s all politics all the time. And I’m trying to do my best not to pay attention to the politics, to focus on fixing the problems,” the Texas Republican said in an interview that aired Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

“Really,” interjected ABC correspondent Jonathan Karl, who did the interview.

“I know it’s hard to believe,” Cruz went on, “because no one in this town does that. This is a time for people to step up and do the right thing. And that’s what I’m trying to do.”
