Earlier today, at a rally in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Ted Cruz was asked about the minimum wage and why raising it is always a bad idea. He answered by saying that, "politicians love giving away free stuff...there ain't no such thing as a free lunch."

In response, DNC National Press Secretary Mark Paustenbach issued the following statement:

"This cheap insult is further evidence that Cruz and the rest of the Republican field is hopelessly out-of-touch with the struggles of hard-working American families. This is not new. Mitt Romney used the same offensive language in 2012 when he told his donors that members<http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/romney-naacp-members-want-free-stuff> of the NAACP want 'free stuff.' Remember that every single GOP candidate for president is opposed to raising the minimum wage. America needs a leader in the Oval Office who can build upon the progress of the last seven years, not resort to cheap insults and failed policies."
