(Video above: Yellowhammer’s Cliff Sims interviews U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz)
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — In a wide-ranging interview with Yellowhammer Radio GOP presidential candidate and Texas Senator Ted Cruz revealed to host Cliff Sims he believes Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions (R) would be “extraordinary in a number of positions in a cabinet.”
“There have been very few people people who I have worked more closely with than Jeff Sessions,” Cruz said. “He is someone who stands up and fights for conservative principles, he fights for Alabama, and fights for the rule of law.”
“I was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jeff Sessions against unconstitutional amnesty,” he continued.
In a Cruz administration, the candidate said the American people can expect that “we will secure the border, we will enforce the law, we will put in the manpower, we will use the laws on the books to build the fences.”
Cruz’s trip to Alabama was his second swing through the Yellowhammer State in recent weeks, making it clear he plans to be a major contender in the so called “SEC Primary” on March 1 next year.
Cruz is the second presidential candidate in the last week to praise Sessions, former Alabama Attorney General and federal prosecutor. Current GOP field leader Donald Trump also said he worked closely with the senator to formulate his immigration plan.
“Alabama is lucky to have [Senator Sessions],” Trump said, “and he’s lucky to have Alabama.”
