Ted Cruz campaigns for Asian vote in Astoria's Garden of Surging Waves

Cruz arrives at the Garden of Surging Waves in Downtown Astoria.

In a last-ditch effort to secure possibly-needed Asian votes, presidential candidate Ted Cruz made a surprise visit yesterday to the Garden of Surging Waves in beautiful Downtown Astoria.

From there, Cruz will head down to South Carolina, where he will embark upon his campaign in the respective state's primary.

When asked about the outcome of his visit to the Astoria area, a visibly frustrated Cruz referred to it as a "giant waste of time, effort, money and gas."

Witnesses in attendance of the reportedly lackluster event confirmed Cruz's arrival to be received by a weak bout of lukewarm applause, which was then followed by nearly ten minutes of the presidential hopeful repeatedly asking, "Where the Asians at?"

After realizing there are no Asians in Astoria, Cruz slowly retreated to his van.
