By CCN: Light the beacons! In an astonishing turn of events, it appears Ted Cruz and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agree on something. Referencing AOC’s tweet, Cruz outlines their allied belief that former members of Congress should not be able to become lobbyists in Washington, D.C.

Here’s something I don’t say often: on this point, I AGREE with @AOC Indeed, I have long called for a LIFETIME BAN on former Members of Congress becoming lobbyists. The Swamp would hate it, but perhaps a chance for some bipartisan cooperation? https://t.co/jPW0xkH2Yy

AOC AND TED CRUZ BOTH WANT TO DRAIN THE SWAMP

In the ensuing Twitter conversation between Cruz and AOC, they appear to agree on making a deal to prevent former Congress members from ever lobbying on behalf of big business.

You’re on. https://t.co/S3TBfNeO3Q

Another Republican dived into the fray. Chip Roy (R- Texas) announced he would happily support Ocasio-Cortez in her endeavor. Hawaiian Senator Brian Schatz also added his hat to the anti-corruption ring.

Okay, with @brianschatz + @tedcruz we’ve got at least one D-R team in the Senate to ban members becoming lobbyists, & myself w/ @chiproytx makes at least one D-R team in the House.

And that’s just in a few hours – there will surely be more from both parties to sign on.

Nice
