Ted Cruz (2015): "I am proud to stand with Donald Trump. I like him and respect him"
Does anyone remember how Cruz attached himself to Trump early in the campaign? When the other Republican candidates were giving Trump a hard time for his rhetoric, Cruz came to his defense.
From ABC News, almost exactly a year ago today:
Why Ted Cruz Is Standing Up For Donald Trump
The Trump-Cruz confab, first reported by the Washington Post, is a fresh example of the close bond between the two men even as they remain rivals in the Republican nominating contest.
Cruz has repeatedly defended Trump ever since he announced his presidential candidacy and compared Mexican immigrants to "rapists."
"I am proud to stand with Donald Trump. I like him and respect him," Cruz said in a recent interview on the Fox Business network.
And in a recent interview with Fox & Friends, Trump returned the favor, praising Cruz for being "very brave" to support him. He also has tweeted his thanks to the Texas senator when Cruz has defended him.
