Bloomberg Politics editor Mark Halperin apologized on Monday for an April 30 interview with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in which he grilled Cruz about his Cuban-American heritage, which many conservatives saw as an aggressive attempt to discount that heritage.
Halperin first asked Cruz if he listed himself as an Hispanic when applying to college. “Oh sure, I’ve listed myself as Cuban-American. That’s my heritage and my background,” Cruz said.
