Ted Cruz praises his political idol Jesse Helms in a speech at the Heritage Foundation, saying that the Senate needs "A Hundred more like Jesse Helms":
http://www.mediaite.com/online/sen-ted-cruz-we-need-a-hundred-more-like-jesse-helms-in-senate/It's interesting that despite all the Republicans claiming that
they are the civil rights party (as Oldiesfreak tends to repeat ad nauseum), one of their rising stars is hailing the legacy of a politician most known for his racism. Pretty disgusting to make a hero out of a man like that.
