Cruz Was Offered Job In Bush White House

Sen. Ted Cruz “has said that after working on George W. Bush’s 2000 campaign, being passed over for a senior position with the new administration was ‘a crushing blow.’ Turns out, it was his own fault,” the AP reports.

“Cruz was offered a job as White House associate counsel shortly after Al Gore conceded the race in December, but he rejected it, members of the Bush transition team told The Associated Press. Cruz thought he was in line for the more senior role of deputy White House counsel.”
