Complete Title: 'As An African-American, I Support Him 100 Percent': Newsboys Lead Singer Michael Tait Endorses Ted Cruz.
Singer-songwriter Michael Tait, the frontman for the Christian pop-rock band Newsboys, has officially endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for president, citing the GOP hopeful's principles, saying that, as an African-American, he supports him "100 percent."
Tait, who is an alumnus of Liberty University, told Fox News columnist Todd Starnes that when he saw the senator launch his campaign from the university in March of last year, that he saw Cruz's "drive" and "hunger" for "solid principles."
"I saw him, his family, the way he talked to people in person. I saw his drive, his hunger for solid principles, solid ideas going forward in our country that, even as an African-American, if you want to get really technical about it, I support 100 percent," Tait told Starnes.
The "We Believe" singer said he has been following Cruz "for a while," adding that Cruz's message is one he's "used to" and one he "believes in." Tait also seemingly took an indirect shot at Republican candidate Donald Trump by saying that he believes it is Cruz's leadership that is "going to make this country great again."
Tait went on to share some advice for fellow Christians who will be entering the voting booth.
"People of faith should vote for a man they believe in," Tait said. "A man they feel can do the job, not falter, not say one thing before the election and do another whole thing after the election, a man that stands his ground, keeps his word, protects our freedom -- that's who you should vote for."
One of my favorite recent songs by the newsboys:
God's Not Dead

Took some FCA kids to hear him (and others) last night in Springfield, MO. Great testimony and “God’s Not Dead!” blew the roof off. My ears would still be ringing but they were giving out ear plugs to us old folks.
We Believe!
I’m taking my kids to see them. I’ll be taking my ear protection. Can’t handle the loud like I could back in the day.
Fine with him putting his name behind Cruz but I wish folks like him would ditch the ethnic labels and others for that matter, either you are an American or not and the only AA is my boss who comes directly from Eithopia before he became a citizen, just my opinion.

In before the “Ted Cruz likes Nickelback” pictures! ;-P
