Heidi Cruz Compares Ted Cruz's Campaign to Ending Slavery
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's wife Heidi on Tuesday reportedly tried to energize supporters by comparing her husband's failure to clinch the Republican presidential nomination this year to how long it took for abolitionists to end slavery.
The comments came in a conference call with the Cruz campaign's National Prayer Team, as transcribed by Texas Tribune reporter Patrick Svitek.
"I don’t want you to feel like any of this was in vain. I believe in the power of prayer. This doesn’t always happen on the timing of man, and God does not work in four-year segments. So we love you. It has changed our lives to know you and to call you our friends. And hang in there. Be full of faith and so full of joy that this team was chosen to fight a long battle. Think that slavery - it took 25 years to defeat slavery. That is a lot longer than four years. We are full of energy. We’re going to have a great vacation. We’re going to keep moving forward."
Cruz's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on her remarks.
