Why did he do what?
I don't get the point of that. It's already known that (1)Cruz hires paid actors and (2) he said they weren't properly vetted. Wouldn't it have been smarter to cut his losses, and especially since what he's espousing is Christian values, say that he applauds the woman for moving beyond her past indiscretions?
Now Cruz looks indecisive and not in control of a small situation. Makes one wonder how he'd handle a real crisis.
