Ted Cruz considers making 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson as U.N. ambassador

It seems like Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is really appreciative of "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson for endorsing his candidacy because he is already entertaining thoughts of making the outspoken Christian reality TV star a U.N. ambassador.

According to Us Magazine, Cruz shared his thoughts during a campaign rally on Friday. He said he finds it refreshing how Robertson is always unafraid to speak his mind.

"You know what? There is a reason he terrifies the mainstream media," Cruz said. "He says things you're not supposed to say. He actually remembers who we are as Americans and he speaks it with a joy. Not with an anger, not with a hatred — with a joy in who we are."

Because of Robertson's candid personality, Cruz thinks it would be hilarious to watch representatives from other countries try to grapple with the TV personality's shocking beliefs and statements.

"Imagine, for a second, Phil Robertson, ambassador to the United Nations," Cruz mused, much to the delight of the crowd who cheered and clapped their hands. "How much would you pay to see the Russian ambassador's face when Phil says, 'What is wrong with you people?'"

Even though Robertson endorsed Cruz, not everybody in their close-knit family is voting for the same presidential candidate since his son Willie has decided to support real estate magnate Donald Trump.

As to why Robertson decided to support Cruz, he explained in a video: "My qualifications for president of the United States are rather narrow. Is he or she godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job and finally — would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo? I've looked at the candidates. Ted Cruz is my man. He fits the bill."
