Rafael Cruz, the father of GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, is warning Americans to do some serious fruit-checking before they vote this election season.
"There are many campaign conservatives - people that will tell you what you want to hear," Cruz said during a recent interview on the Jesse Lee Peterson Show. "What I recommend is stop listening to the rhetoric, look at their record. Stop listening to what they say. Look at what they've done and what they do.
"Jesus put it this way: 'You shall know them by their fruits.' Check the fruit."
Cruz believes if voters examine the fruits his son Ted has borne, they will see they can trust him. He noted Ted has been at the forefront of many battles, such as the fight to repeal Obamacare, the fight to preserve the Second Amendment, and the fight for the right to life.
Jesse Lee Peterson, the host, told Rafael how much he values Ted's principled stands in the Senate.
"I think most Americans appreciate the way he stood up to the RINO Republicans and others who would not deal with Barack Obama the proper way, just allowing him to do whatever he wants," said Peterson, a WND columnist and author of "The Antidote." "For me, that stood out like nothing else. I do appreciate that."
The elder Cruz, who authored the new book "A Time for Action: Empowering the Faithful to Reclaim America," replied that's the very reason so many Washington insiders dislike Ted, because he exposes the establishment.

You. Are. Pathetic.
Informed people know pretty much what each candidate will do if President. We know what their core is and which direction they are easily pulled by others.
EXCEPT we have no clue what Trump will do. Trump has changed positions and priorities so often that the only thing we know for sure is that he will change is positions and priorities in the future.
As you are a Trump (and Bill Clinton) supporter, I presume you posted this to mock a good, Christian man.
What a phony you are, Miss Holier than thou.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’ll be here all week. ;-)
Rafael is an expert on fruits and nuts
//”Jesus put it this way: ‘You shall know them by their fruits.’ Check the fruit.” //
Once again showing why I will not vote for Cruz. Once again he misuses scripture for political gain.
By their fruits ye shall know them, is about testing PROPHETS, not believers and certainly not political record.
Christians who fall for this tripe should start reading their bibles more.
See post 8.
BINGO. The Cruzers complain about Trump supporters but they act like Cruz is the Messiah and Cruz is starting to believe it too.
LOL!
LOL!
LOL!
A true, saved Christian (as spoken about by Jesus in the New Testament) doesn’t misquote and misuse Scripture like the Cruz’s do.
A true, saved Christian (as spoken about by Jesus in the New Testament)doesn’t trade on the name of Christ for political gain like they do.
I don’t know their hearts but their behavior is not one of a true saved Christian.
Cruz is a bitter enemy of McConnell. That earned him my respect and consideration of my vote.
Ask your Doctor about Seroquel, maybe Seroquel’s right for you.
What a self righteous know it all.
You hear their whole story and don’t see Christ at work, I would say you are the one who needs some time with the bible. I’m guessing you attend a one person church.
Psssh.
Oh I have ‘checked the fruit’ and believe me the ‘fruit’ is Ted, his dad and his wife...
Fruitier than ever, and will NEVER get my vote!!!
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
hahaha “check the fruit.” Next time some liberal says “check your privilege,” I’ll tell him to “check his fruit.”
I don’t know what Trump will do if elected. He does seem to have a deep love for our Country and if he is the nominee or future president, I hope that love will guide him. I do know if not for Trump, the issues of this campaign would be much different. And the guy with the most money would be the nominee. I think we all agree, No More Bushes!!
