I think she's just saying that Ted's faith is consistent with what's written there - which reflects the faith of the founders.

When I read those words in Jefferson's memorial, it's clear that Jefferson wasn't some sort of godless secularist as some folks try to misrepresent him.

No, she described the Cruz family as showing America the "face of God". Christ's face was the manifestation of God in the physical. It had nothing to do with principles, or liberty, or campaign values.

This is a post from Yashcheritsiy (You can't have a constitution without a country to go with it) on the other thread, I don't know how to create a link to it, but it was number 19:

Calling Ted Cruz "the face of God" is blasphemous. There's no "getting pretty close to" about it.

"The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee." (Numbers 6:25)

"Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved." (Psalm 80:3)

"Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake." (Daniel 9:17)

"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." (II Corinthians 4:6)

In the Aramaic targums, the Jews considered "the face of God" to be a synonym for the Messiah Himself.

Whether they realise it or not, these Cruz people running around saying stuff like this about Ted Cruz are themselves setting him up as an idol in the place of God.

I’m not going to get hung up over theological trivia.

The face of God can be taken a number of ways.

I’m just going to say it would be splendid if Ted actually started doing this in earnest. In general the face of God is benevolent, though hating sin. It doesn’t look all that Christlike a lot of the things Ted has made VERY high profile. Just the usual one sided political pablum, me win you lose etc.

No, she described the Cruz family as showing America the "face of God".

"The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men" (Luke 18:11)

The presumptuousness of the Cruz Crew is astounding.

Agreed. Can you post the quote where she did that?

You have things precisely backwards.

She DID?
