<p>Ted Cruz received a rude awakening to Eastern sea board politics as he was made unwelcome in the Bronx on Wednesday. A hip-hop activist heckled him in a restaurant. Later the samer day, high schoolers get his speech canceled by threatening a mass walkout. Cruz had complained that Trump&#8217;s Tuesday night statement after the Wisconsin primary proves he &#8216;likes to yell and scream and insult and curse&#8217;, coming on the heels of his remarks quips on Trump&#8217;s North Eatern values</p>

<p>As Cruz toured the lunch spot, a man identified as one half of a Latin hip-hop duo called Rebel Diaz yelled that the Texas senator is a &#8216;bigot&#8217; and said he wasn&#8217;t welcome because of his positions on illegal immigration.<br />
&#8216;Ted Cruz has no business being in the Bronx!&#8217; the heckler shouted from the front of the Sabrosura2 restaurant where Cruz was making a campaign stop.<br />
&#8216;This is an immigrant community. We deal with climate change every single day, and he wants to say that it doesn&#8217;t exist.&#8217;<br />

<p>Visit: Ted Cruz was meeting Bronx community leaders in the Sabrorusa2 restaurant in the New York borough when he was interrupted. The leaders included the Rev Ruben Diaz, a New York state senator from the Bronx who is a conservative Democrat opposed to abortion and same-sex marriage<br />
Both members of the Latin hip-hop duo called Rebel Diaz &#8211; Chilean brothers Rodrigo and Gonzalo Venegas &#8211; were involved in the protest.Gonzalo Venegas spoke afterwards about his disgust at Ted Cruz. The hip-hop duo tweeted that they had taken action against Cruz and one of the members embarked on a far longer rant as he heckled the Republican candidate<br />
&#8216;We live in one of the poorest congressional districts in the country,&#8217; the man went on. &#8216;And to receive this right-wing bigot is an insult to the whole community.&#8217;<br />
&#8216;You&#8217;re running on an anti-immigrant platform, and you&#8217;re speaking in the Bronx,&#8217; he said. &#8216;You should not be here!&#8217; Cruz complained during a brief press gaggle about an aggressive statement Trump issued Tuesday night he was on the losing end of a brutal primary election pounding in Wisconsin.<br />
But Cruz may have felt like screaming a little himself as his day went from bad to worse.Students at Bronx Lighthouse College Preparatory Academy told their teachers that if Cruz was permitted to follow through on a planned speech there, they would stage a mass walkout.<br />
They told their principal &#8216;if he came here, we would schedule a walkout,&#8217; 16-year-old Destiny Domeneck told the New York Daily News.<br />
&#8216;Most of us are immigrants or come from immigrant backgrounds. Ted Cruz goes against everything our school stands for.&#8217;<br />
New York&#8217;s primary election is on April 19, the next big contest along the road to the presidential nomination.<br />
Cruz is in third place among the three Republicans, according to a Monmouth University poll released Wednesday morning.<br />
In the Bronx: Heidi Cruz accompanied her husband on a trip which saw his plan to visit a high school canceled by a threat of a mass walk-out by students<br />
Heidi Cruz accompanied her husband on a trip to the Bronx, which saw his plan to visit a high school canceled by a threat of a mass walk-out by studentsCruz watched as police led his heckler out, and then remarked that &#8216;we need positive solutions, not the kind of anger that that man has.&#8217;<br />
A second protester who made it to the door of the eatery taunted Cruz: &#8216;You got to be born in America to be president! Don&#8217;t waste your time!&#8217;<br />
That man was also identified as a member of Rebel Diaz.The group&#8217;s Twitter feed boasted afterward: &#8216;Just rolled up on @tedcruz in #TheBronx he had a secret meeting w/ @revrubendiaz and we had to #ShutThatS**tDown real quick. #PeoplePower&#8217;<br />
