What Cruz said? Here<https://toolbox.dnc.org/?tool_name=project%20vantage&path=vantage-frontend.dnc.org/shared_show?jwt=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE0NjExMDUwMjQsImVtYWlsIjoia2FzbmV0empAZG5jLm9yZyIsImRvd25sb2FkYWJsZSI6dHJ1ZSwidmlkZW9faWQiOiI3NDc5MCJ9.Vezusiz0UQG6aY7MolpkPlAYOUWmHo7TkzJMVtOdSOQ>

Here's what the racist dude said:

CROW: "From those incredible blood lines of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and John Smith. And all these great Americans, Martin Luther King. These great Americans who built this county. You came from them. And the unique thing about being from that part of the world, when you learn about breeding, you learn that you cannot breed Secretariat into a donkey and expect to win the Kentucky Derby. You guys have incredible DNA and don't forget it."

Thanks, guys! Definitely worth tracking the video down to see what he actually said. This goes to the argument that Cruz surrounds himself with people that are anti-immigrant, like Steve King.

The Nation's George Zornick: On 7/15/13, Ted Cruz Addressed An Anti-Immigration Rally Where Another Speaker Claimed Hispanic People Were Genetically Inferior To Americans. On July 15th, 2013, "Several hundred people gathered in Upper Senate Park to denounce immigration reform as a job-killer... Ken Crow, who used to be president of the Tea Party of America until he bungled logistics of a Sarah Palin speech and is now affiliated with Tea Party Community, got up and started talking about 'well-bred Americans.'... At minimum, Crow was making a crude nativist argument that people from other cultures have the heritage of a donkey, compared to our race-horse DNA. And, although he worked in a Martin Luther King reference, the 'breeding' talk made it pretty tempting to see this in racial terms as well...many important Republican politicians were present... Senator Ted Cruz [was] also on the roster.'" [The Nation, 7/15/13<http://www.thenation.com/article/ugly-opposition-immigration-reform-comes-back-capitol-hill/>]
