Ted Cruz Caught Sending FAKE Gov't Checks To Voters In Texas

Voters in Texas have recently begun receiving checks in the mail sent by the Ted Cruz campaign, which sounds great but unfortunately they're not checks for you, they're checks for Ted Cruz. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola of The Young Turks break down the Cruz campaigns latest trick. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is out with a deceptive new mailer that masquerades as official government business and promises people there's a "check enclosed" when it's actually asking for money instead.

A New Jersey resident sent The Huffington Post the latest piece of mail he received from Cruz's campaign. The envelope appears to have come from Cruz's Senate office and has his name printed the same way it often is for Senate business. In small type the mailer clarifies that it is for "personal" matters and was not sent at taxpayers' expense. It also promises a check.

But the check inside -- which is made out to the Cruz campaign, not to the voter -- is fake. The accompanying letter promises that a "group of generous supporters" have promised to match donations received in response to the mailer.”*
