Beck's speech continued by urging Iowans to support someone like Cruz, who he argued would take risks to bring as many Marxist atheists—like Cruz's father was when he came in from Cuba- as possible into America from foreign lands on the off chance they might end up seeing the light and becoming conservative Christians.
"So when we look at immigration, let's remember that people-if they want to come here and want to be Americans—they renew us," Beck said.
"And you never know what somebody might do. There was a Marxist, a Marxist who didn't really realize how Marxist he was that moved into the United States. A guy who fought in a revolution for Marxist principles. He was a little nuts, a little crazy at the time-almost lost his life in fact in the struggle. Came over here, he was an atheist. Didn't believe in God. Now, who wants that guy here? Except that guy happens to be Rafael Cruz who fell in love with our principles, fell in love with our country, and raised a man who could be the next president of the United States."

Beck has morphed into a blithering idiot. He’s silly and makes absolutely no sense.
Best morning belly laugh yet today!
Yes! You can just read it on his face in the photos of him and Beck at that supposed swearing in thing. Like Cruz is going “OMG what are you doing? And why am I standing here with you doing it?”
So every tenth immigrant is a terrorist and the other nine are not terrorists, so we should let them all in, with no vetting?
Doesn’t this sort of undermine Cruz’s efforts to get to the right of Trump on immigration? No doubt there’s an inspirational story in there somewhere, but Beck flubbed it badly and turned it into a potential liability.
It’s like the Hindenburg crashed into the Titanic.
If this story grows legs Cruz is toast.
Fox had Sanders beating DJT 54-36 in the General this AM ...
“Beck is the gift that keeps on giving. What was Cruz thinking?”

Uh, yeah. Was this one of those Trump mind melds or something? With enemies like Beck, the Donald doesn’t need friends.
Next Page Beck Pleads Cruz Rally To Accept Even ‘Marxist Atheists’ Because ‘They Renew Us ‘Why wouldn't he? Cruz is always pounding his chest for "religious freedom". He'd be a hypocrite if he meant only HIS religion.
BTW, I wonder if Cruz, like some of his supporters, think Mormons (like Beck) are a cult.
I’m embarrassed for Cruz. He may not be able to survive this fiasco.
It's one thing to debate a colleague and another to sway public opinion. I don't doubt that Cruz is a highly intelligent man, but that does not necessarily mean that he understands what motivates people to support him.
feh...
Run away Ted, run away from Beck as fast as you can!!! Trump could never have taken Cruz down as smooth and fast as Beck is.
We need someone to post that ridiculous You Tube video of him at the hospital crying because his piles hurt. He’s hugging a little blue pillow, I believe.
Don’t need legs. He’s already there. Spread the butter.
Here we see what would pass for judgement in a Cruz administration.
I’m not sure he even belongs in the Senate if he’s no smarter than this. ANY conservative could have told him that Glenn Beck is a nut and would be the kiss of death to his campaign.
Cruz would have done better to just strap a suicide vest on and hit the button. I can’t believe the lapse in judgment to get on a stage with Glenn Beck. I guess the shock of Palin endorsing Trump made him desperate. Sadly Glenn Beck is the closest thing Cruz is ever going to get to being sworn in.
