Recently a story made the rounds concerning a coloring book about Senator Ted Cruz published by the Really Big Coloring Book company.  While the company didn’t work with Senator Cruz or his staff on the project, and have previously printed political comic books, that didn’t stop political adversaries of Cruz from associating him with the book.

Today, Senator Cruz’s office chose to respond to the “controversy” by issuing the following statement:

“We hope all who enjoy the book color it in bright bold colors, and not pale pastels, just as Ronald Reagan would have wanted.”

Interestingly, the coloring book is on it’s third printing in six days and is selling very well.
