In the first installment of a three-part interview with The Daily Caller over his new book, "Plunder and Deceit," Levin shared his views on the latest actions of the Republican-controlled Congress and how it's affecting presidential politics.
In his opinion, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell knocking down Sen. Ted Cruz's amendments to a highway bill -- which included measures to defund Planned Parenthood and the Export-Import Bank -- Sunday night was Washington at its worst.
"Those who are paying attention and are informed would be more repulsed by what McConnell, Lamar Alexander, Orin Hatch, John Cornyn et al. have done to the few voices of liberty in the Senate," Levin told The Daily Caller. "They smother them and try to silence them and then go to liberal media outlets to trash them."
