Cruz signs copy of ‘Communist Manifesto’
Ted Cruz on Thursday scribbled a note inside a copy of the “Communist Manifesto” after a young man apparently tried to prank him, according to reporters who witnessed the exchange.
{mosads}The man reportedly asked the White House hopeful to signed his “economic textbook.” Cruz (R-Texas) realized what was going on, but signed the book anyway.
“Millions have suffered because of this,” Cruz wrote. He remarked that he was speaking “as the son of a Cuban immigrant whose family has seen firsthand just exactly what Communism [does].”
