Texas Senator Ted Cruz electrified a pro-Israel crowd Sunday night with a simple story that involved Hezbollah.
The story goes back to September, when Cruz keynoted the In Defense of Christians summit in Washington and walked off the stage mid-speech after his defense of Israel prompted boos and heckling. At the time, some suggested that Cruz may have purposely provoked the incident.
