In what appears to be either a walk back or misunderstanding, Chuck Norris has made sure to clarify that he has not yet made any presidential endorsements.
Chuck Noris was slated to appear at a Cruz rally on March 13 with Glenn Beck, among other supporters. Norris has since come out with the following statement:
“I would like to clarify for the record that I have NOT officially endorsed any candidate for president, contrary to what has been widely reported in the media. Each of the remaining Republican candidates have strong points and, as I’ve said in my WND culture warrior column, I believe some have the potential to be great presidents. However, I am going to let the citizens of America decide who they think would be the best candidate for the GOP. When the candidate is decided, I will support that person enthusiastically.”
In what appeared to be indication of a Norris endorsement, Ted Cruz tweeted the following on Tuesday:
Join me, @glennbeck, and Chuck Norris on Sunday, March 13, at Charlotte Motor Speedway: https://t.co/UVjmlfPXsg

A note at the bottom of the Eventbrite invitation, however, now says:
“NOTE: Late Wednesday evening, we learned that Chuck Norris will not be attending the rally in Charlotte, North Carolina and has not officially endorsed any candidate for president. We regret that our publicity implied otherwise and apologize to Mr. Norris and our rally participants for the confusion. We will be notifying all participants of the updated line up for the American Rally with Ted Cruz. Thank you.”
