White reporter demands to know how authentically Cuban Ted Cruz is
The Houston Examiner ^ | May 10, 2015 | Mark Whittington

Mark Halperin of Bloomberg interviewed Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a candidate for president of the United States, recently and endeavored to find out how authentically Cuban he is. This line of questioning has not, so far as is known, been directed at any other presidential candidate. Barack Obama’s blackness has not been called into question, nor has Hillary Clinton’s womanhood. Ruben Navarrette, writing on Saturday for the San Jose Mercury News, was appalled, to say the least. Halperin asked Cruz what kind of Cuban food he liked, if he listened to Cuban music and was invited to address Bernie Sanders en Espanol.

Navarrette put it succinctly when he opined, “I kept waiting for Halperin to ask Cruz to play the conga drums like Desi Arnaz while dancing salsa and sipping cafe con leche -- all to prove the Republican is really Cuban.”(continued)

The left wing media is scared to death of a Hispanic gop candidate....

The gop has been losing that vote for a few election cycles...

They will stoop to any level to de-legitmatize Cruz or Rubio...in the eyes of Hispanics..

Cruz to reporter, “I have the blood, genes, and name of a Cuban. Please give me your credentials as a Caucasian.”
