CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) on Tuesday if he felt any regret for opposing a 2013 relief package for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Weber, who previously called for CNN to fire Acosta, said he voted no on the funding bill because the legislation contained funding for other projects. “There is what I would call pork attached to that bill which I did not believe belonged on that bill,” Weber said. Chris Christie (R) said Cruz was lying when he said the relief package was two-thirds filled with pork. “There really wasn’t very much pork at all in that bill,” Acosta said.
