Ted Cruz Challenger: You Bet I'm Proud to Get Endorsed By Soros' Defund-Police Activists!

The Texas Democrat running to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz says he's "proud" to accept an endorsement from a George Soros-funded group that supports defunding the police.

Rep. Colin Allred touted his endorsement from Reproductive Freedom for All, a Soros-funded nonprofit organization. In a statement released last Wednesday, Allred said he was "proud to earn the endorsement" and that he looks forward to working alongside the group....

The organization has long embraced the movement to defund police and repeatedly called for dismantling the "systems of oppression that are still so entrenched in society." The group has also stressed the need to "divest from law enforcement in Black and brown communities."

In case you're wondering, Allred's congressional district is almost entirely urban (in Dallas) and has a D+14 Cook rating. I'm not even sure a Soros/Defund platform would sell in his own district, but I can assure everyone that it's political poison for a statewide election in Texas. Cruz got a scare from Beto O'Rourke in 2018, but Allred is about to get an old-fashioned vote stomp after this. Cruz will have a field day with this endorsement and Allred's embrace of it. 

Even if Allred is only referencing the abortion issue, that's still a loser in Texas. Maybe Allred thinks he lives in Minnesota?
