But Matthews also misinformed his audience by insisting, twice, that the Texas Republican has never voted for an Obama appointee.  In point of fact, Cruz has voted against many Obama nominees, but not all. He voted, for example, for Ash Carter for Defense Secretary and for James Comey for FBI director. In the latter vote, only potential 2016 rival Rand Paul voted "nay."
