Ted ‘McCarthy’ Cruz To Deliver Keynote Address At CPAC
I was mistaken. I thought Sarah Palin had this one sewn up.
Freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has been selected to deliver the keynote address at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, American Conservative Union President Al Cardenas told WRAL’s “Mornings on the Mall” on Friday.
Cruz had already confirmed a speaking role at the conference, which is set to take place March 14-16 in the Washington D.C. area, but the decision to have him close out the conference marks another high-profile move for the Senate newcomer.
A tea party favorite, Cruz has quickly made a name for himself during Capitol Hill proceedings with aggressive and controversial cross-examinations of President Barack Obama’s cabinet nominees. He also raised eyebrows last month when he stood by earlier allegations that Harvard Law School had employed a number of communists when he attended the school in the early 1990s.
