From The Texas Tribune:

Cruz, who has made a name for himself as an uncompromising conservative stalwart, is casting himself as a bipartisan lawmaker with a penchant for reaching across the aisle. 

“I actually have very good relationships with many of my colleagues across the aisle,” Cruz told The Texas Tribune, citing his work with Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar. “I've worked with all three of them and all three are friends.”  [emphasis added]

But wait, there's more!!

Which means that 10 years later Cruz remains the most hated man in the Senate.
