Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, campaigning in Utah, called Donald Trump's attacks on Mitt Romney Mormon affiliation "sad" and "disgraceful.''
"It was sad yesterday to see Donald Trump stand up in Utah and call into question Mitt Romney's faith," the Texas senator told reporters on Saturday after a rally in Draper ahead of the state's Republican nominating contest on March 22.

Cruz questioned everyone’s 1st Amendment right to free speech by continuing to support BLM and move on.org as not responsible for their actions that deprive others of free speech!
Whether Romney is Momon or not doesn’t question freedom of religion. In fact I think Trump complimented Mormons by finding Romney to not meet their standards.
New York values
You do know the 1st Amendment and free speech has to do with the government not being able to punish you for speech. Has nothing to do with being disrupted at a campaign rally.
I don’t think the Donald should be questioning whether Romney meets the “standard” for being a good Mormon. At least Romney has only been married to one woman and hasn’t cheated on her.
What a liar this writer is. Trump did not attack Mormonism; he attacked Romney personally because of the disgraceful human being he is.
OTOH, I have no problem attacking Romney, Beck, and Cruz for being involved in insidious cults.
Great idea. Wonder why he hasn’t yet.
“Another irony is that Cruzs supporters here question Trumps faith ad infinitum.”
I’ve always wondered about that irony myself.
Reagan was Presbyterian, embracing his mother’s religion instead of his father’s (R.C.)
Trump is a Presbyterian.
Reagan did not attend church regularly.
Trump does not attend church regularly.
Great post.
“I found my own ancestors and discovered I as one of the descendants living at the time had been sealed to them thus making me a full Mormon also.”
You have it all wrong. Your ancestors can choose to be Mormon or chose to stay whatever they were. They are only given the opportunity to choose because of the baptism.
Since you are still alive, there has been no baptism done for you, nor can you be sealed to anyone without your permission. Nor would you be allowed to be unless you chose to become a Mormon.
“There is no evidence Cruz is has extreme Dominionist beliefs”
Then Cruz needs to “disavow”. Loudly!
Of course, he just embraced Mormonism, whoring for LDS votes, so who’s going to give him any credibility?
More like Teddy is a Pander hard to bare.
I don’t have the intimate knowledge of Romney’s sex life that you do so I don’t know what he has done in that area.
But I do know that HR 357 protects campaigns under protection of the Secret Service from activists. The BLM and move on.org that many here find non offensive if directed at Trump violate the area of protection.
Good advice...now give Cruz the same treatment.
Possibly true, but Cruz did campaign in the South; he just couldn't draw the crowds that Trump did.
Pray tell, why would he need to disavow a legitimate sect of Christian belief...?
Would you disavow your legitimate Christian faith because I told a outright lie about it?
So Cruz converted to Mormonism?
That's either a another deceitful lie or really serious news...
Which is it?
You're right; however Trump's speeches are private events for his supporters and the leftist agitators are breaking the law.
Your 1st Amendment rights end at my door.
Romney questioned EVERYTHING about Trump - his character, motives, business acumen, morals - even bringing up 45 year old affairs. Yet Trump fires back and it’s boo boo boo time Trump is a bully.
Cruz is a sleazy grandstanding fool.
“Another irony is that Cruz’s supporters here question Trump’s faith ad infinitude.”

Hey, Trump proved his Christian bona fides when he said they give him a “little cracker” in church. He has his Christian doctrine down pat. /sarc
trump choose to question Romney’s ‘Mormon credentials, he is paying a price in Utah.
The funny part is a lot of trump supporters have started attacking the Mormons also.
Trump has actually gone easy on Romney, who deserves endless heaps of criticism. Romney didn’t throw his hat in the ring and run, he shows up late in the game with sleazy comments and showboating, trying to undo the peoples will. He is scum. And once again Cruz sticks to scum like a fly to crap.
I didn’t say Cruz “converted”. (Why do you lie?) He “embraced” it when he defended Beck.
Mormonism is not a “legitimate sect of Christian belief”.
