Hell Froze Over: AOC and Ted Cruz Agree on Something

So AOC tweeted this first:

quote:

---

If you are a member of Congress + leave, you shouldn’t be allowed to turn right around&leverage your service for a lobbyist check.

I don’t think it should be legal at ALL to become a corporate lobbyist if you’ve served in Congress.

At minimum there should be a long wait period.

And Ted Cruz replied with this:

Here’s something I don’t say often: on this point, I AGREE with @AOC Indeed, I have long called for a LIFETIME BAN on former Members of Congress becoming lobbyists. The Swamp would hate it, but perhaps a chance for some bipartisan cooperation?

---

And then AOC replied with this:

quote:

---

@tedcruz if you’re serious about a clean bill, then I’m down.

Let’s make a deal.

If we can agree on a bill with no partisan snuck-in clauses, no poison pills, etc - just a straight, clean ban on members of Congress becoming paid lobbyists - then I’ll co-lead the bill with you.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with AOC AND Ted Cruz. Congressmen shouldn’t be allowed to become lobbyists, whether that be Big Oil or Planned Parenthood. Make this happen.
