Evening meals at the Robertson dinner table are probably going to be very interesting for the next few months.
Less than 24 hours after a new Ted Cruz ad in which Phil Robertson declared “all of us” were voting for the Texas senator, his son, Willie, announced he was backing someone else. That someone else was Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump:
“Mr. Trump is a real leader. He represents success and strength, two attributes our country needs. Like me, he is a successful businessman and family man and I endorse his candidacy for President of the United States.”
Robertson and Trump appeared with Trump’s son, Don Jr., at the Outdoor Sportsman Awards in Las Vegas Thursday night. In accepting the endorsement, Trump said Robertson is “an extremely popular figure in conservative circles.”
“I am truly honored to receive Willie’s endorsement,” he said “He is a great person, has had tremendous success and a really terrific family. He believes in my message and knows that I am the only one who will Make America Great Again!”
Robertson had previously attended a rally in Oklahoma with Trump where, he praised the businessman’s brash style and truthful talk.
