“I’ve been watching Sen. Cruz for a while,” Tait says of the Republican presidential candidate.

“I saw him, his family, the way he talked to people in person. I saw his drive, his hunger for solid principles, solid ideas going forward in our country that, even as an African-American, if you want to get really technical about it, I support 100%,” he says.

When asked what Christian voters should look for in a candidate, Tait responds, “People of faith should vote for a man they believe in.

“A man they feel can do the job, not falter, not say one thing before the election and do another whole thing after the election, a man that stands his ground, keeps his word, protects our freedom — that’s who you should vote for.”

Tait’s support of Cruz goes back at least as far as August when the band performed during the candidate’s Religious Liberty Rally in Des Moines.

There, Tait was very vocal in his support for the candidate, including an instance captured in this video:
