WHY TED CRUZ WAS RIGHT TO WALK OUT ON THE 'IN DEFENSE OF CHRISTIANS' CONFERENCE
Whether Cruz ever contemplated withdrawing from the event is not certain, but what
is clear is that he was keenly aware of the alleged links between the organizers of
the event and Hezbollah, and he was not going to let that go untested.
Many have criticized Cruz since the event, saying he should have known the audience
better or that he was grandstanding. But his actions on Wednesday evening
reminded me of the line from the recent New Yorker article about Cruz: “That is
the kind of politician Cruz has become―one who came to Washington not to make
a deal but to make a point.”
