Mario Lopez, the host of the syndicated celebrity and entertainment show “Extra,” sat down with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) at Cruz’s presidential campaign headquarters in Houston on Wednesday.

Cruz, who is currently vying for the GOP nomination in 2016, tweeted a picture of the duo sitting down for an interview.

But immediately following the sit down in Houston, Lopez tweeted a photo of himself holding the infamous poster crafted by conservative street artist Sabo.

The poster, which features Cruz clad with a cigarette and a plethora of patriotic tattoos, has become a popular theme on the Texas Republican’s campaign trail.

While the former “Saved by the Bell” star did not officially endorse Cruz’s White House bid, Cruz is riding high after garnering an endorsement from actor James Woods, as well as surging in the GOP polls, particularly in Iowa.

cnaccu (pronounced “spasee”) means “save”
u (pronounced “ee”) means “and”
coxpaHuu (pronounced “sokhranee” means “protect”
Pretty much standard inscription on Russian crosses.

Thanks very much! I hoped it was some biting political comment, but good to know none the less.

Mario Lopez was the “grand marshal” of our little town’s Christmas parade years ago when he was just getting started - seemed like a down-to-earth nice kid, even had dinner at one of the local restaurants and said it was some of the best Italian cooking he had had - be great if he took a special interest in Cruz and his campaign....
