Texas Sen. Ted Cruz endorsed Donald Trump on Friday… the same man who insulted his wife, called him “Lyin’ Ted” and, oh yeah, claimed his father helped assassinate John F. Kennedy.
“After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump,” Cruz wrote in a message on Facebook.
Speculation over whether or not Cruz would endorse Trump reached fever pitch on Friday morning. Politico, quoted “someone who had worked for Cruz’s campaign,” as saying that “If [Cruz] announces he endorses, it destroys his political brand.”
