  • The senator and his wife tried to ignore the group and took their seats
  • Cruz, 54, told one woman: ‘God bless you ma’am’ then sat down
  • They got up and decided to leave seconds later as the group stood around their table chanting
  • The protesters were from several anti-right wing groups including Smash Racism DC
