Bob Corker

U.S. Senator from Tennessee

It’s hard to be a Republican in Congress who stands up to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). It’s even harder to be a Republican who calls out Sen. Cruz and members of his own party during a televised debate. But Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) did just that last week when he took Sens. Cruz and Mike Lee (R-UT) to task for grandstanding instead of working to keep the government open. In this month’s Public Service Spotlight, CREW highlights Sen. Corker’s efforts to prevent his colleagues from turning the \”world’s greatest deliberative body\” into reality TV.

The day after Sen. Cruz’s 21-hour filibuster, Sen. Corker took the floor to chastise the junior senators from Texas and Utah for turning Senate business \”into a show\” as the country barreled towards a government shutdown. In a 10-minute exchange, Sen. Corker rebuked Sens. Cruz and Lee, stating \”The reason we’re waiting is that y’all have sent out releases and e-mails and you want everybody to be able to watch, and it just doesn’t seem to me that that’s in our nation’s interest.\” 

Sen. Corker added their efforts to draw attention to their actions were \”taking priority over getting legislation back to the House so they can take action before the country’s government shuts down.\” While this may help solidify Sen. Cruz’s future political support for a potential presidential bid, it does nothing to solve the problems we face today.

Through their actions, Sens. Cruz and Lee demonstrated they were more interested in preening than in advancing the interests of the country. Times of crisis call for workhorses not show horses, and Sen. Corker’s brave words embody the mentality required for effective representation in Congress.

We hope you’ll join CREW in applauding Sen. Corker’s efforts to restore sanity to the Senate.

In this week’s Speaker Alert, we want to give you a brief state-of-play on efforts by Republicans in the House of Representatives to keep the federal government running and stop as much of the president’s health care law as possible.

\”The House worked late into the night Saturday to prevent a government shutdown,\” Speaker Boehner explained earlier. \”And the Senate now must move quickly, today, to do the same.\”
