“He wanted to go further than I did, and that made me uncomfortable, and I realized that that’s not the kind of person that I wanted to be around,” she says. “I don’t think that’s necessarily being a terrorist. I think that’s just called being a hands-y teenaged boy.”
ABC News points out that Kelly Ayotte’s answer to a skeptical background checks questioner repeated the Ted Cruz line—it might have been a slippery slope to background checks!

To find another “no” from someone seen as a moderate, if you’re in D.C. or New York, you have to fly to Ohio for Rob Portman or South Carolina for Lindsey Graham.)
