Donald Trump may be a reality star, but Ted Cruz has just won the endorsement of one of conservative America’s best-loved reality stars – Duck Commander Phil Robertson.
Robertson, who stars on “Duck Dynasty,” announced his endorsement Wednesday of Cruz for president, Fox News reported.
“Ted Cruz is my man, I’m voting for him,” Robertson said in a new TV ad.
Cruz reportedly had dinner with the Robertson family on Sunday and joined Robertson duck hunting on Monday. The endorsement was reportedly agreed upon in a duck blind.
Robertson weaved the duck hunt into his endorsement.
“My qualifications for president of the United States are rather narrow: Is he or she Godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally, would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo?” he said in a video posted Wednesday.
“I’ve looked at the candidates. Ted Cruz is my man. He fits the bill,” Robertson said. “He’s Godly, he loves us, he’s the man for the job and he will go duck hunting … because today we’re going.”
“Ted Cruz is my man, I’m voting for him.”
Cruz, who is in competition with Trump for the lead in Iowa, expressed his appreciation.
“I am thrilled to have Phil’s support for our campaign,” Cruz said. “The Robertsons are a strong family of great Christian faith and conservative values.”
“Phil’s story of starting off with something small and working hard to achieve the American dream is inspiring,” Cruz said. “Much like my parents, and many other Americans, who started a small business and worked hard to provide for our family.”
The TV spot ends in the duck blind with Robertson addressing Cruz.
“Cruz, the reason we’re going to vote for you – all of us – is because you’re one of us, my man. That’s why I’m voting for you. It’s now or never.”
