People were doubting Cruz earlier for going to the funeral. He's the real deal, wake up people.

If he REALLY wants to prove a point he will walk out of the State of the Union Address.

Now THAT would be something to see.

Man who helped torture his dad. Not surprised.

Thank you, Sen. Cruz, for walking out of the speech instead of shaking hands with the murderer.

Cruz took flak for going to the funeral. I know Mandela was a communist and personally I was hoping all Republicans/conservatives would STFU in regards to making statements about him. But what is to be gained in speaking out against him when you know most of the sheeple and the MSM are worshipping him. Better just to pay respects instead of saying something that will just be taken out of context by the liberal media. Cruz did the right thing here.

OK, but Nelson Mandela was a buddy of Fidel Castro, and held him up as an example of how to set up a government. So why is Ted attending the funeral of a Castro-admirer and then complaining when a Castro speaks?

I suspect if Ted Cruz runs for president, half the conservatives here will refuse to vote because he’s not “conservative enough”.

Maybe this was the reason he attended the funeral. Can’t blame him.

Ted Cruz showed great & good character by walking out when Raúl Castro was to speak.

Obama on the other hand shows his complete lack of character by shaking the murderer’s hand while giving him a semi bow down.

I’m not here to dump on Cruz, but I would never attend the funeral of a man like Mandela. At taxpayer expense? Nope! If I could snap my fingers and show up at no cost, I not only wouldn’t walk across the street to attend, I wouldn’t snap my fingers to.

And the “selfie” pic made the headlines. Drudge should have had this with a flashing red light.

“For decades, Castro has wrongly imprisoned and tortured countless innocents.

Yes but did either of the Castros necklace people? Why the heck did Cruz go over there in the first place? He should have stayed home.

Cruz just gave Obama another lesson in leadership. This time it was on the world stage! So sweet.

He is what he is. God says we’re under a curse if we put our faith in other men, don’t forget (Jeremiah 17:5).

I do hope that at least this changes Cruz’s viewpoint about Mandela, since “Madiba” and Castro were/are two (red) peas in a pod.
