When Mr. Cruz, who met with Ms. Davis, exited the Carter County Detention Center, a throng of journalists beckoned him toward their microphones, but an aide to Mr. Huckabee blocked the path of the senator, who appeared incredulous.
Soon after, Ms. Davis emerged, apparently wearing the same clothes she had worn in court Thursday. Mr. Huckabee stuck close by her side, along with Mr. Staver and her husband, Joe, as they approached the reporters and cameras. Ms. Davis remained silent, letting Mr. Staver and Mr. Huckabee do the talking.
Damn you know this must have REALLY pissed Cruz off.
Here he flies all the way to Kentucky and he is left standing on the sidelines, watching Huckabee jam his lardass into the spotlight.

However before you get too sad for Rafael, you should know that he got his time pandering to the religious right as well..

Still it was Huckabee that got to announce, along with her attorney, “Kim Davis is free.” And then of course offer himself to be jailed in her stead.
