There are quite a few rumors floating around in social media about Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz.
Americans are used to the mainstream media lying about Ted Cruz (see here, here & here for just some examples.) But it is particularly painful when the lies come from supposed truth-tellers. The largest culprits starting and perpetuating anti-Cruz falsehoods are sundance of the Conservative Treehouse and Dianne Marshall of the Marshall Report. They blatantly lie, or tell cherry-picked half truths, which are promptly disseminated in social media by an army of bullies who are seemingly not interested in civil debate.
Why create false stories if the candidate is so bad?
The clearly coordinated effort is particularly disturbing because: 1.) it frankly smashes conventional wisdom that ad hominem baseless attacks are the tool of the left not the principled right, and 2.) the social media bullies may serve to intimidate people from posting positive stories or opinions about Ted Cruz.
Here are some of the most persistent lies, myths and rumors about Ted Cruz:
FAKE!! Ted Cruz stole the Iowa Caucus

Its his monster, he created it, its too late to stuff it back in its box, and its gonna bring his candidacy down. IMO.
The crazy talk show host was making a joke and it was taken completely out of context. Oh, wait. That’s true.
Did any of you read the article?
Chuck Norris endorsed Ted
Cruz Bots
Trump Supports more educated than Cruz Bot Supporters
It's Ted C. Bush now
I don’t think it’s because the majority of his supporters hate outspoken Christians, I think it comes from being self-sufficient and wanting to work. Their anger is reflected in DT’s anger (similar but what does DT have to be angry about—no vacationers in his hotels, no gamblers in his casinos, and dropping numbers of golfers?).

I don’t advocate killing. It’s a statement of opinion... and not even one that I invented (I stole it), not encouragement to kill.
Can’t say that I’m surprised that you, being a Trump fan, can’t discern the rather obvious difference, though. LIV doesn’t even begin to cover it...lol. And as a Trump fan, you’re defending commies now? Hilarious.
A rather disgusting anti-Cruz thread just pulled a couple of hours ago, and rightly so. I have seen many anti-Cruz threads pulled the past couple of weeks so just because you haven’t had the opportunity to see them pulled, does not mean there haven’t been many. And I say this as a Trump supporter.
I’ve been here longer than you, and I am in no way shape or form a leftist. We can debate the moron part if you so desire, but I’ll argue that I am not one of those as well.
Like I said....I must have missed it/them. But...I’ll take your word for it.
Agreed. It’s bewildering.
However, since she was on the voter roles of Canada had she relinquished her American citizenship? She obviously became a Canadian citizen to be on the voter rolls there. I don't know the answer to my question, perhaps you do?
It sure does. Ted Cruz supporters try their best to kill Trump and his supporters, figuratively of course, not literally. With slandererous lies and whatever else they can think to use.
It likely will... sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. If you don’t register as a cultist you are fair game, even if you have a little support and nice words for DT, who activated the swarm switch on his hive Jan. 20 and couldn’t switch it off if he wanted now. And he REALLY brainwashes the FR hens, who have prompted our men to duck out and away from this mean-girl-fest.
Actually, institutional dumbness is the order of the day.
Texas by every standard is the greatest state of all, but certainly imperfect as they failed to vet properly their very popular though very much not a legitimate candidate for that office never mind the Presidency.
Oh no, sorry you said Trump trolls. My bad. I was going to name names but decided against that because we all know who they are.
Is Cruz a Pentecostal?
Then I started realizing that Ted Cruz is not really who he has been portraying himself to be.
His wife helped in the North American Community initiative with the CFR, which is an European Union type of arrangement with Canada & Mexico for now, which will effectively erase our borders and create a government body that supersedes our government. Who also works for Wall Street's Goldman Sachs, basically a criminal organization that fleeced America and her citizens. He is now beholden to them for his loan as well.
So I have real concerns about Ted, not the overstated concerns surrounding Trump.
In Trump I see a manipulator. He has said he finds it useful to play to people's fantasies. That seems to me to be exactly what he's done during these primaries.
And even if he hadn't I am not into idolatry, which is what I see surrounding Trump. He has NOT earned such adulation.
You’re friggin’ nuts. Don’t ping me again. I have better things to do than read crap from a nutjob like you.
