We wanted to talk with Senator Cruz about his outreach to Latino voters the day after he spoke at the

Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. My intent was to give the Senator a chance to speak further about
his heritage and personal connections to the community through some casual questions. I rushed
through the questions, and that was a mistake it led to poor tone and timing. I also understand why
some felt the questions were inappropriate. As for asking Senator Cruz to welcome Senator Sanders
to the race in Spanish, that was meant to be the type of light-hearted banter that he's done with us
before on the show. In no way was I asking Senator Cruz to prove he was an authentic Latino. I
apologize to those that were offended, and to Senator Cruz. I promise that I will work to make the tone
and questions better next time.
