NYT s Stephens says Ted Cruz more unctuous than Eddie Haskell Olafimihan Oshin
New York Times columnist Brett Stephens is throwing some barbs toward Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
In joint op-ed conversation with fellow columnist Gail Collins, the conservative writer described Cruz unfavorably against a number of fictional figures, including the two-faced friend of Wally Cleaver on the 1950s sitcom Leave it to Beaver.
The topic came up as the two columnists discussed President Biden s policies, and Collins brought up the possibility that Cruz or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) might run against him as president in 2024.
Stephens wasn t buying the Cruz scenario.
