Ted Cruz had nothing less than a chaotic appearance on “The View” on Monday, with audience members interrupting his interview to protest.

And that insight was: definitely not.
With Cruise on the show to promote his new book, the hosts didn’t miss the opportunity to ask him about his politics and recent comments and actions.

“I could decide if my feelings are hurt, I’m going to get the ball and go home and not do my job. But if I was willing to do that, I’d better be prepared to resign from my job.” , because I have a responsibility,” Cruz said.
Still, Whoopi Goldberg put further pressure on him by saying that Trump “pays no respect” to the Justice Department, or the judicial system at large, by pointing out that Trump “doesn’t recognize a subpoena.” At that, Cruz laughed, and addressed the summons directly.
“You guys, at the beginning of the show, were like ‘Will Donald Trump testify under oath?’ There was this long discussion about it? Of course he isn’t,” Cruz said dismissively. “Nobody thinks he is. And by the way, did Barack Obama testify under oath? No.”
Host Alyssa Farah Griffin reminded Cruz that Obama never defied a federal subpoena, though was quick to back down on that comparison.
