Sioux City, IA (ABC9 News) - Republican Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz was back in Sioux City Tuesday to promote his new book, "The Time For Truth."
The junior Texas senator says his book will give grassroots republicans an inside look at what he calls the "Washington cartel."
Senator Cruz met with supporters at the Barnes & Noble book store at the Southern Hills Mall Tuesday Morning. He told ABC9 that his book details how politicians on both sides of the aisle are corrupted by the influence of money from corporations and special interests groups.
Before sitting down for the book signing, He spoke with ABC9 news about his support for fellow GOP Presidential Candidate Donald Trump following his controversial comments about Mexican immigrants.
"I salute Donald Trump for focusing on a very important issue and that is illegal immigration. The 'Washington cartel,' the career politicians in both parties, they don't want to address illegal immigration so you're seeing just about every presidential candidate running out of their way to slam Donald Trump," said Cruz.
Cruz, whose father migrated to the U.S. from Cuba says immigration reform is a matter of national security. The Texas senator says if he becomes president, immigration, tax reform and protecting the constitutional rights of American citizens will be among his top priorities.
Cruz has a strong backing in Iowa, but he is still struggling to break out of the crowded GOP presidential field. He told ABC9 News that grassroots campaigns is what will help him stand out.
Sorry, I didn't see your post in July. But now it has come to pass. Trump turned on Cruz, just like I said in July...
Why do you say that?
Because I knew Trump would turn on Cruz. Like he will on Palin.
Any comment? Apparently I am 10X smarter than Cruz.
