Parkland Student David Hogg Raises Money for Billboards Showing Trump’s Old Tweets Bashing Ted Cruz

Ahead of Trump stumping for former rival Ted Cruz as he campaigns for re-election for Senator in Texas against Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke, March for Our Lives co-founder and Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg helped raise thousands of dollars to have billboards erected that show old tweets.

With Ted Cruz approaching the home stretch in his bid for re-election for U.S. Senator of Texas against Democratic candidate Beto O’Rourke, Donald Trump revealed plans for a “major rally” in support of Cruz. 

I will be doing a major rally for Senator Ted Cruz in October. I’m picking the biggest stadium in Texas we can find. As you know, Ted has my complete and total Endorsement. His opponent is a disaster for Texas - weak on Second Amendment, Crime, Borders, Military, and Vets!

Cruz’s willingness to have Trump in his corner is especially rich considering the verbal barbs that these two exchanged when they ran against one another for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016. Trump’s method of attacking Cruz came in the form of tweets that haven’t been deleted to this day. Now, USA Latinx is looking to expose those old tweets on billboards for the people of Texas to see. 

Why would the people of Texas support Ted Cruz when he has accomplished absolutely nothing for them. He is another all talk, no action pol!

Why would Texans vote for "liar" Ted Cruz when he was born in Canada, lived there for 4 years-and remained a Canadian citizen until recently

In just one day, nearly 500 people surpassed the $6,000 goal on their GoFundMe page, backed by Antonio Arellano, as well as Claude Taylor and March for Our Lives co-founder and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg.

With Trump still pulling in a high number of Republican support, Cruz is willing to overlook previous insults from The Donald where he called the Texas Senator "a sniveling coward," and claimed that his father conspired to kill John F. Kennedy. Spineless as ever, Cruz will allow himself to stand side-by-side with the person who stripped him of his dignity all for the sake of re-election. Sad!
