Rand Paul Supporters at Cruz’s Announcement: Nice Guy, but ‘Too Much of a War Hawk’

Earlier today, Mediaite noticed a trove of Rand Paul supporters who were sporting “Stand with Rand” t-shirts at Ted Cruz‘s announcement that he was entering the 2016 presidential race. After Cruz’s speech, CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny caught up with those Liberty University students, who were forced to be in attendance for the speech.

According to them, they were being used as “props,” and they weren’t happy about it.

“He’s a Christian man, he’s definitely a nice guy,” one student said. “It’s just that, from my personal beliefs, he’s a little bit too much of a war hawk.”
