I don’t know about Cruz himself other than reuniting with his partner Glenn Beck so they can hand out more stuffed animals and soccer balls to illegal invaders as they cross the border...

... a partial truth that functions the same as a lie.

Amusingly ironic in relationship to your tagline.

I apologize if what I read on Breitbart.com was not accurate. I am not sure whether or not you believe the event actually happened or not. I don’t question Cruz’s intentions in this situation, but I do question his judgment throwing his lot in with Glenn Beck once again.

Quoting Beck from one of the Breitbart articles:

“He also said Americans should not “focus” on the gangsters, killers, and rapists who are coming across the border with the illegal immigrant children two days after Breitbart Texas reported that an illegal immigrant whom the federal government released in June with a “notice to appear” was arrested for murder.

While discussing his plans to go to McAllen, Texas on Saturday with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)96%
, Beck half-jokingly said his co-host Stu was not man enough for skipping out on the trip. Stu said since he has a child under two years of age, doctors recommended that he not travel to the border because of the risk of contagious diseases.

Beck also suggested those who did not go to the border with him like Cruz were also “pusses.”

“You know who is not a giant puss?” Beck asked, before answering, “Ted Cruz.” He said Cruz called him on Thursday afternoon and said, “I’m coming.”

Besides the risk of catching diseases like swine flu or tuberculosis or being targeted or identified by gangsters at the detention centers, some Americans believe making a spectacle of passing out soccer balls and teddy bears contributes to the misinformation campaign smugglers, cartel members, thugs, and other criminals use to lure children and parents from Central America to the United States. On that journey, many children are beaten, maimed, killed, and raped. And if the illegal immigrants get deported, their lives are often still in danger if they or their families in the United States are indebted to smugglers or cartels.”
