John McCain mocks Ted Cruz claim on guns - Burgess Everett - POLITICO

Cruz pandered to a group of gun owners telling them he was pressing McCain to allow 2nd amendment rights for carrying on military bases. McCain in full disdain mode had a flurry of dripping in sarcasm thoughts on Cruz's claim

“I was fascinated to hear that because I haven’t heard a thing about it from him. Nor has my staff heard from his staff,” McCain said of Cruz (R-Texas). “It came as a complete surprise to me that he had been pressing me. Maybe it was some medium that I’m not familiar with.”

McCain went to great lengths to ridicule Cruz for suggesting the two had discussed the issue. He joked that perhaps Cruz was bouncing messages off the “ozone layer.”

"Maybe it was through, you know, hand telegraph. Maybe sign language,” McCain said. “Ask him how he communicated with me because I’d be very interested. Because who knows what I’m missing"
