On Fox News’ “Hannity” show Monday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz unexpectedly commended Jeb Bush’s honesty in endorsing a pathway to citizenship for people in the U.S. illegally. He also criticized Sen. Marco Rubio’s flip-flop on certain immigration policies since he announced his White House bid.

“I’ll commend Jeb Bush, I think Jeb Bush has been very honest, he’s been very candid about his support for amnesty… Marco on the other hand is trying to run away from his long support of amnesty,” said Cruz, ranked first in the Washington Examiner‘s presidential power rankings, to fill-in host Mark Steyn.
