Cruz: 'We'll take money from anyone'
politico.com
Ted Cruz doesn't care where the money comes from.
Even as his campaign has pushed a populist message and he has railed against Wall Street "crony capitalism" repeatedly, the Texas senator indicated Friday that he is not beneath accepting donations from anyone, including from members of the financial industry, which has already contributed $12 million to his campaign.
Appearing on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Friday, Cruz again referred to the Dodd-Frank Act as benefiting large banks at the expense of the "little guy," or smaller community banks. Co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin then pressed the candidate about his "rivals" criticizing him for soliciting donations from the same people whose industry has spoken out on the campaign trail.
“Look, we’ll take money from anyone. In fact, Andrew, I would love a check right now. It’s $2,700, or you could go to TedCruz.org," Cruz said.
As POLITICO reported Wednesday, Cruz is expected to host an array of bankers, traders and Wall Street lawyers at a Monday fundraising event at the Harvard Club in midtown Manhattan.
Cruz's wife, Heidi, took an unpaid leave of absence from her executive position at Goldman Sachs last year when her husband announced his candidacy.
