Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz launched into an attack on Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, even making a jibe about his weight, during an interview about President Trump’s crime crackdown.
Speaking on Chris Salcedo’s Newsmax show, Cruz was asked about Gov. Pritzker’s opposition to Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops into Chicago to support local law enforcement, as he has done in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., this summer.
