Cruz doubles down on intolerance
Cruz, in Iowa, Commends Indiana for Doing the Right Thing
SIOUX CITY, Iowa The more than 100 people who showed up for a town-hall-style event at Morningside College here on Wednesday heard Senators Ted Cruzs thoughts on the battle over a law in Indiana billed as a religious freedom measure.
Were seeing in the news right now a lot of noise because the state of Indiana bravely stood up and passed a law defending religious liberty, Mr. Cruz said in his opening remarks. And I say this: I will commend the state of Indiana for doing the right thing.
It seemed Mr. Cruz, a Texas Republican, had touched a nerve, as he was greeted with nods of approval and occasional applause. Indeed, western Iowa, where Morningside is, is one of the most conservative parts of the state, home to the evangelical population that has propped up candidates like Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee in the past.
