Evangelical broadcaster James Dobson Wednesday praised Ted Cruz's bid for the Republican presidential nomination, saying in a new television ad that the Texas senator is critical to naming more conservatives to the Supreme Court.
"With Justice Scalia's death, we need a president who will defend the Constitution and nominate conservatives to the high court," Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, said in endorsing Cruz as a private citizen.
The ad was posted on
Facebook.
"I know Ted," Dobson said. "He’s a Christian family man of the utmost integrity."
In December, Dobson first endorsed Cruz's campaign.
