Ted Cruz Booed Off Stage at Christian Gala
"Anti-Semitism...[rearing] its ugly head," says Cruz
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is defending his Wednesday night remarks at a Washington event—comments which drew boos he attributed to "anti-Semitism…[rearing] its ugly head."
The senator was booed at an event hosted by a Christian group in Washington, leaving the stage after the hostility did not subside.
In a lengthy statement issued after the event, Cruz said he had "no choice" but to walk away after "a vocal and angry minority" criticized his comments in support of Israel.
