Ted Cruz to Republicans: ‘Stop Your B*tching’ About Ken Paxton

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "Look, I think Ken is out there fighting and he's fighting to draw a contrast, draw a contrast between his record and James Talarico's record. And Ken has been a strong conservative attorney general for the state. I’m strongly supporting him. Look, I have worked to raise millions of dollars for Ken Paxton’s campaign. The super PAC that supports me has spent millions of dollars supporting Ken Paxton’s campaign. And I’ve got to say, some of the Republicans that are throwing rocks at Ken Paxton, my message to them is, enough, stop your bitching! We had a $200 million primary and Ken won. And one of the reasons the numbers are close is $200 million of attack ads were run against him, and that does damage. If you want to complain, complain in the primary. It's over. And by the way, I will say, every moderate Republican, when they win a primary, they tell conservatives, 'Now shut up and support the nominee.' My answer to everyone whining, shut up and support the nominee and don’t hand Texas over to a communist lunatic."
