David Hogg, a survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and the head of an anti-Trump, anti-NRA Super PAC raised more than requested on GoFundMe to put up a Texas billboard featuring Trump ridiculing Sen. Ted Cruz.
Incumbent Republican Cruz, who is embroiled in a heated U.S. Senate race with Democrat Beto O'Rourke, received the endorsement of President Donald Trump via Twitter Friday.
The president said he will hold an October political rally for Cruz, who he had once labeled "Lyin' Ted" during their 2016 GOP presidential campaign fight. Hogg and Mad Dog PAC chief Claude Taylor set up a GoFundMe which already raised double the $6,000 needed to put up a billboard at the rally showing Trump's negative remarks about Cruz from 2016.
The billboard will be placed at "the biggest stadium in Texas," where Trump's words would read, "Why would the people of texas support Ted Cruz when he has accomplished absolutely nothing for them. He is another all talk, no action pol!"
