US Senator Ted Cruz says Hillary Clinton’s stunning defeat to Donald Trump in the presidential election was the “revenge of flyover country.”
Speaking at the National Lawyers Convention on Friday, the Texas senator said the Nov. 8 election “was an incredible vindication for the American people across this country, and especially those that you know in rural America, in what elites on both coasts consider to be ‘flyover country.’”
“This election can be well understood as the revenge of flyover country,” Cruz emphasized.
Trump’s campaign had been hit with many controversies since its inception in early 2015. But the billionaire businessman still managed to stun the world by defeating the heavily-favored Democratic candidate in the election.
Cruz, who ran a bitter primary campaign against Trump, said the Clinton campaign was “utterly flabbergasted.”
