“Today, I am announcing that I am running for President of the United States,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told his audience at Liberty University Monday amid chants of “Ted! Ted! Ted!”
Meanwhile, in Internet land, TedCruz.com was advertising a pro-Obama message.
The domain name has apparently been purchased by supporters of President Obama and immigration reform.
“Support President Obama,” the site reads. “Immigration reform now!”
As The Hill reports, TedCruz.com was established in April 2004 but was purchased from its creators during the spring of 2014. It was originally created by the Arizona real estate company Ted Cruz and Associates, according to Internet records.
The campaign for the official GOP presidential candidate instead owns TedCruz.org, where supporters can sign up for e-mail updates, make donations and read the latest about Cruz’s presidential crusade.
However, Obama backers have also taken hold of the website TedCruzForAmerica.com as of Monday morning. The site sends Internet users directly to the Obamacare website HealthCare.gov.
During his speech Monday, Cruz emphasized the need for the next president to secure the nation’s borders and repeal Obamacare.
The Texas Republican and tea party favorite officially announced his campaign on Twitter at midnight before his remarks at the private Christian university in Virginia.
