Q: Sen. Cruz why are you in favor of tearing families apart? A: “It seems President Obama’s political operatives are out in force today.”

Ted Cruz looks less like a politician and more like a preacher at #VVS13. No podium for him, wandering around the stage.

THANK GOD FOR CRUZ & LEE @toddstarnes: This is getting out of control! But Ted Cruz refuses to back down to Obama’s minions. #VVS13”
