On Friday, Ted Cruz's presidential campaign proudly announced that it had received the endorsement of Sandy Rios, a radio host and director of governmental affairs for the anti-gay hate group the American Family Association.
Along with endorsements from Lori Roma, the former executive director of the American Legislative Exchange Council, and Susan Carleson, the Chairman and CEO of the American Civil Rights Union, Cruz welcomed Rios' endorsement:
“I am thrilled to have the support of three of the conservative movement’s strongest voices for families, religious liberty and the unborn,” said Sen. Cruz. “We are running an aggressive grassroots campaign and their help engaging and motivating conservative voters gives our effort a great advantage.”
Sandy Rios is the Director of Governmental Affairs for the American Family Association, one of America’s largest, pro-family grassroots organizations, and host of “Sandy Rios in the Morning on AFR Talk” which can be heard on nearly 200 stations through the American Family Radio Network.
In her capacity as a radio host for the AFA, Rios has repeatedly attacked gays, Muslims and Jews while promoting conspiracy theories and issuing repeated warnings that God's judgment will soon fall upon this nation:
