[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC’s Tamron Hall on Monday blamed the “obstructionist” Ted Cruz for “birthing” Donald Trump by encouraging an inflexible Congress. The cable anchor grilled a Cruz supporter, former Congressman Jack Kingston, on the Tea Party’s responsibility. After Kingston referred to the Texas senator as a “disruption” to the status quo, Hall demanded, “But the disruption you refer to and how we process what the American people see as an ineffective Congress, when you think about Senator Cruz on the Senate floor, holding up business.” She complained, “You think about former Speaker Boehner, John Boehner being essentially run out of town by Tea Partiers who wanted to be obstructionists, not compromisers. Not people of flexibility.”
