GOP rep calls on Cruz delegates to ‘defend our platform’

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) called on Ted Cruz’s delegates to “defend our platform” at this summer’s Republican National Convention.

“@TedCruz Delegates. We need all of you in Cleveland to defend our platform and protect the rules. We don’t know what Trump will do by then,” King tweeted Saturday.

{mosads}King, a Cruz supporter, has been an outspoken critic of Trump throughout the campaign.

In March, King claimed presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump used his resources to win endorsements from conservatives.

Cruz ended his presidential campaign earlier this week after losing to Trump in the Indiana primary. Before he dropped out, Cruz’s campaign had been working hard to get pro-Cruz delegates sent to the convention wherever they could.
