Roger Stone, Alex Jones plot primary challenge to Cruz

Renegade GOP operative Roger Stone said he and InfoWars founder Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist, are planting the seeds to ensure Cruz is sent packing from Washington when his first term ends in 2018.

“We’re actively looking for a candidate,” Stone told The Hill.

The Hill asked Stone, a longtime Trump ally and conservative agitator, if he would consider running Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson, who lost a primary challenge to incumbent Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) in 2014.

Stone said he’d rather nab Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who backed Cruz in the primary and hosted fundraisers for him.

“He’d be my choice, but in all honesty, anybody who is registered in the Republican Party in Texas would be better than Ted Cruz,” he said.

An email to a spokesperson for Patrick has not been returned.
