Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz stopped by Oklahoma City Community College on Wednesday to drum up support for his primary campaign.
Nearly 1,000 people attended the standing room only event where Cruz chided Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and criticized Barack Obama’s record. Among other things, he promised to rescind the president’s executive orders, repeal Obamacare, stop ISIS, secure the border and punish cities that do not prosecute undocumented immigrants.
“There are 360 jurisdictions in this country that consider themselves sanctuary cities. Everyone of them is going to find their federal tax dollars cut off,” Cruz said to applause.
The Texas Senator promised to stand up for gun owners’ rights. Cruz criticized efforts for control following the San Bernardino shootings.
“Now look, you don’t take the bad guys away by taking our guns. You stop the bad guys by using our guns,” Cruz said.
