Ted Cruz wasn’t invited to speak at Republican National Convention

“They didn’t ask me to participate. So, I’m not on the speakers’ roster,” Cruz (R-Texas) said in an interview published Wednesday.

The 2016 GOP presidential primary runner-up told the paper that he “would have been happy to” speak at this week’s convention if he had been asked.

Cruz and President Trump have a sordid history from their primary sparring days. While the Texas senator has not spoken ill of the president since the latter took the oath of office, he has not taken back any of his previous sentiments either.

Asked in an ABC News interview in 2018 whether he viewed Trump as a friend or foe, Cruz would only say, “He’s the president.”

“I work with the president in delivering on our promises,” he added.
