Tom Perez: Texans Know Ted Cruz Is ‘Not Fighting for Ordinary Texans’

‘Beto O’Rourke has not taken money from the special interest that have lined Ted Cruz’ pockets for years and years’

EXCERPT:

KEILAR: “But does it tell you that maybe — I mean, I’m assuming that there was research behind what he did. So there must have been findings that a lot of people thought Beto O'Rourke might be Hispanic, and he was trying to clear that up. What do you think of that?”
PEREZ: “I mean, I think what it shows is Ted Cruz is desperate. I mean, look at this, Beto O'Rourke has run a remarkable grassroots campaign. He's not taken money from the special interest that have lined Ted Cruz's pockets for years and years. Ted Cruz has 100 percent name recognition. And frankly, I think that’s our secret weapon as Democrats, because people know Ted Cruz and he’s not fighting for ordinary Texans, he’s -- he's fighting for special interests. And -- and Beto is going to fight for everyone in every zip code. That’s what his campaign has been. He’s been going to corners where, frankly, Democrats didn’t show up.”
