WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Media Research Center (MRC) has honored U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as one of the recipients of its inaugural Free Speech Award.

About the award, Sen. Cruz said, “I am honored to be recognized by the Media Research Center as a champion of free speech. Throughout my tenure in the U.S. Senate, I have fought relentlessly to protect the inalienable rights and freedoms that have made our country the world’s greatest democracy. Liberty can only prevail when the right to speak freely is protected, but as President Ronald Reagan wisely said, ‘Freedom is a fragile thing, and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction.’ That is truer now than ever before.

“Our first amendment right to freedom of speech is under attack, as radicals on the left try to silence anyone who disagrees with them. The path forward requires us to stand firm against those who seek to suppress free speech. I remain committed to fighting our ‘first freedoms.’”
