One day after NBC severed ties with 2016 GOP candidate Donald Trump over "derogatory statements" he made about Mexican immigrants, fellow Republican candidate Sen. Ted Cruz has sided with Trump.
"When it comes to Donald Trump, I like Donald Trump. I think he's terrific. I think he's brash. I think he speaks the truth," Cruz said in a Tuesday morning interview on Fox & Friends. Cruz added that NBC is "engaging in political correctness that is silly and that is wrong."
