In a statement to WND, Norris said, “I would like to clarify for the record that I have NOT officially endorsed any candidate for president, contrary to what has been widely reported in the media.”
He continued, “Each of the remaining Republican candidates have strong points and, as I’ve said in my WND culture warrior column, I believe some have the potential to be great presidents. However, I am going to let the citizens of America decide who they think would be the best candidate for the GOP. When the candidate is decided, I will support that person enthusiastically.”
The erroneous media reports of a purported Norris endorsement were circulated by outlets such as the Dallas Morning News and the Daytona Beach News Journal, which said, quoting the Washington Post’s Emily Heil, “Ding, ding, ding! It seems we have a winner – the coveted Chuck Norris endorsement goes to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.”
Heil’s original story said, “Norris is the roundhouse-kicking action star who inspired the now-classic Internet meme Chuck Norris Facts (A sample: ‘Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep; he waits’) whose backing of Mike Huckabee gave the former Arkansas governor’s 2008 presidential bid a real boost. After Huckabee dropped his 2016 bid, we noted that the nod from the conservative star Norris – a potential boon for a field of GOP candidates grasping for any advantage they can find – was up for grabs.”
The trend continued when the Hill said Norris would be stumping for Cruz.
