Al Franken Lets Loose: 'I Hate Ted Cruz'

Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) has actively cultivated a low profile in his nearly eight years in the Senate, refusing most interview requests from national media outlets, building relationships with his colleagues and otherwise trying to reshape his image from a nationally renowned comedian to a serious lawmaker.

However Franken, who previously authored a number of humor books and wrote for “Saturday Night Live,” has been cracking wise about about one of his least favorite colleagues, Ted Cruz (R-Texas), while promoting his sarcastically titled new book, Al Franken: Giant of the Senate.
