Tabloid says it has proof: Ted Cruz’s father is mystery man in Lee Harvey Oswald photo
Miami Herald ^ | April 22, 2016

Posted on 04/24/2016 2:15:08 PM PDT by Lazamataz

WASHINGTON -- The National Enquirer has published what it says is conclusive evidence that Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael B. Cruz, is the man photographed next to JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald distributing pro-Castro leaflets in 1963 in New Orleans.

The Cruz presidential campaign fired back unequivocally. “This is another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage,” communications director Alice Stewart told McClatchy. “The story is false; that is not Rafael in the picture.”

The explosive suggestion that Cruz’s father would have had any affiliation with Oswald is not corroborated in any other way. Cuban-born Rafael Cruz is now a fervent anti-communist, but there was a time he supported then-rebel leader Fidel Castro. His son, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, frequently relates his father’s arrest and torture by government officials and subsequent escape to the United States.

The elder Cruz ended up at the University of Texas at Austin and still supported Castro, who led the revolution that overthrew the Batista regime in 1959. Castro formally declared himself Marxist in 1961.

“The U.S. government was duped. The American people were duped. I was duped,” Rafael Cruz wrote in his book, “A Time for Action,” released in January. “When people ask me why I supported Castro in over-throwing the Cuban government, I readily admit that I didn’t realize he was a communist.”

It is weird though. Methinks R Cruz was a CIA asset. Explains the Bush/Cruz connection.

If true, only a matter of time before someone tries to put a bullet through Trump.

Been worried about that for a while now. These aren't Boy Scouts.

I don’t even buy the claim that is Rafael Cruz, there are so many JFK assassination theories, this is one more of hundreds and so, likely false. So the National Enquirer claimed they have expert witnesses who say it is RC.

Alice, I know you are a LADY and always speak as a Lady. What you said of the Tabloid was too Ladylike! They deserved much courser words.

If there is any truth to this pic, it’s unlikely he was with Oswald, but more likely he was working for the CIA, keeping tabs on pro-Castro elements in the area.

according to the Louisiana State Police, there were three Cubans in a car that threw Rose Cherami onto the highway in Eunice LA at three o’clock in the morning. She went on to tell the cops they were on their way to Dallas to kill the President. this was three days before the hit. The cops didnt believe her. They put her into the rubber room where she wore the story out telling nurses, doctors and staff the same thing. The minute it happened they discharged her.

Now who were the Cubans in that car? Oh, by the way she was found dead on a Texas highway having been run over by a car about a month later.

Why? There is no evidence he was ever anti-Castro in Cuba.

The timeline fits, when Garrison got going on his investigation he fled to Canada.
