This

is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

With

his defeat yesterday in Indiana, Sen. Ted Cruz brought to an end a remarkable

presidential bid. As one of his admirers, I am very sorry to see this

principled, courageous man leave the race. 

As an American who believes the country desperately needs a

course-correction, especially with respect to the national security, I pray

that his vision in that regard will nonetheless prevail. 

I

had the privilege of being asked to serve as one of the senior national

security advisors for the Texas senator’s 2016 campaign.  It gave me an opportunity to witness first-hand

his inspiring clarity about the threats we are facing, his unwavering commitment

to our friends and allies around the world and his determination to restore the

common defense. 

Our

times’ existential threats to freedom require such qualities in our next

Commander-in-Chief.  We must accept

nothing less. 

This

is Frank Gaffney.
