Cruz, Rubio rip Trudeau for praising Castro
The Hill ^ | 11/26/16 | MALLORY SHELBOURNE

Posted on 11/27/2016 12:48:24 PM PST by Republican Wildcat

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) slammed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday for his praise of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

Trudeau caught flak on social media after expressing "deep sorrow" for Castro, whom he called a "remarkable leader." Cruz and Rubio, who are of Cuban descent, released their own statements ripping the deceased leader.

“Is this a real statement or a parody? Because if this is a real statement from the PM of Canada it is shameful & embarrassing,” Rubio tweeted, linking to Trudeau's statement on Castro's death.

“Disgraceful," Cruz tweeted of Trudeau's remarks. "Why do young socialists idolize totalitarian tyrants? Castro, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot -- all evil, torturing murderers."

In a separate tweet, Cruz provided a link to the website for a nonprofit organization that focuses on human rights and victims of communist regimes.

Cruz argued in a National Review op-ed that Castro's death would not bring "material change in Cuba."

"That is the true legacy of Fidel Castro — that he was able to institutionalize his dictatorship so it would survive him," Cruz wrote, calling for U.S. officials to not attend Castro's funeral until political prisoners in Cuba are released.

How would her ex-husband, Allan Wilson, have any idea about her citizenship. According to his statement, he claimed to have not seen Eleanor in 2-3 years. He reportedly, “ran into her at the hospital after she had given birth to a baby boy.”

Wonder what business Allan had at a Maternity Hospital?

Lots of lies of no consequence any more.

But the lying stories that conflict with other events and people begin around 1955.

45 American presidents and Veeps born in America or early founding fathers born on our soil-what would become America. We could list all the states right here: NY,VA,PA,CA,TX,CN,MA,MO,GA,IL and so forth. There’s none from Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Jordan, China, Saudi Arabia...

Why do we need to change the Constitution to accommodate: Ted, Marco, Bobbi, Arnold, or anyone else? None of these individuals are more special than the requirements of birth and allegiance.

AmerAsians kids born in Nam from American Military Daddies need to apply for non-citizen residency. They have no guarantee of any citizenship. A few (<25%) have been granted US citizenship.

If McCain was automatically considered NB, why the Senate Resolution to provide him cover.

Congress has sought over a dozen times to change the born in USA requirement. All attempts have failed from both sides of the aisle.

Nice tweets from both those guys!

Oh, oops, sorry, hope I didn't trigger anyone here by not blasting and making fun of Cruz and Rubio. My apologies.

She didn’t “come back” to the U.S.

*****************

I’ve not read that anywhere in looking at their history over the past couple of years.
Granted it’s hard to find details with documentation for all of it but everything I’ve
read indicates she came back to the US and met Rafael in New Orleans at a company they
were both working for. They then moved to Canada.

Anyway it’s not worth the effort to dig back up but here is one link to some details of
their relationship. Some of it I’m sure is false based upon things I’ve read in the
past. Take care.

The person you should be senselessly attacking is TURD-AEU not Ted Cruz.

Cruz ran for President without your permission, too bad, he had every right to.

Your choice beat him, so why can’t you get over it?

Ineligible individuals do not have the right to be President of the USA.
Cruz can be Prime Minister of Canada, though.

So I guess not all Canadians are dumb enough to like Castro.

(Sorry, Ted. I couldn’t help it.)

Good grief - you people up in Canada have some explaining to do and some campaign ads to cut for the next election. Trudeau's statement almost makes Obama's look good by comparison.

If Trump weren't on the scene, Obama's would have been every bit as disgusting.

I respect your choice , even if I think it is a disaster
