Softcore porn actress from Cruz ad endorses Trump

The softcore porn actress who appeared in a Ted Cruz ad that the campaign later pulled has decided who she’s going to endorse: Donald Trump.

Amy Lindsay appeared on CNN Monday to say that she was backing the New York billionaire because of his policies and because she feels he's a kindred spirit.

“I like what he stands for,” she said. “I think people are really attacking him and lying about him, and I kind of know how that feels.”

“I do,” sympathize with him, she said.

“He’s the front-runner but he’s also kind of — especially in this last week or so become kind of an underdog," she added.

Lindsay appeared in an ad for Cruz in February that was pulled after it was discovered she had been featured in such films as: "Animal Lust," "Co-Ed Confidential" and "Carnal Wishes." The ad, which was called “Conservatives Anonymous,” featured Lindsay and others in a group-therapy session talking about how Florida Sen. Marco Rubio had failed them.

When host Jake Tapper asked on Monday if the handling of the Cruz ad played a role in her choosing to endorse his opponent, she said It had a “little bit” of an effect.

“I liked working on the Cruz ad,” she said, adding that they had worked on six ads in all. “I was educated on what Ted Cruz stood for and yeah, I haven’t really been happy with the way he’s been going this recently,” she said.
