Ted Cruz dumped his last campaignspokesperson after he joked about Marco Rubio’s faith.
Now this… The Cruz camp’s latest spokesperson tried to stomp out the Tea Party. The Blaze reported:
Ted Cruz’s new national spokesman, who replaced ousted spokesman Rick Tyler, came under fire last week for once hiring illegal immigrants and abusing the H-1B program when he was chairman of the Republican Party of California.
However, Cruz’s new spokesman is now being exposed for an offense that Cruz supporters might find even more egregious: trying to stop the Tea Party movement.
In the spring of 2009 when Americans were told their government and big banks were “too big to fail,” Tea Parties began to spring up across the United States.
Night after night, audiences witnessed Americans taking back their government on live TV.
FOX News host and talk radio personality Sean Hannity headlined the Tea Party in his home city of Atlanta; FOX News provided wall-to-wall coverage of the Tea Party in midtown Manhattan; and FOX News’ Neil Cavuto covered the Tea Party in California, for which I served as the official event director and communications director.
The Tea Party was going strong except for one hitch: both myself and my event team received word that some inside the GOP were working to get the events cancelled.
One of those people was Ron Nehring, then-chairman of the California Republican Party and the man who just last week was named Ted Cruz’s new national spokesman.
It turns out, our Tea Party wasn’t alone in the obstruction.
“When we started the Tea Party in California, we expected that the GOP would open theirs arms and welcome us in,” said Dawn Wildman, founder of the California Tea Party Groups Coalition, responsible for several successful Tea Party rallies and tax revolts in California. “Instead, Ron Nehring and many other GOP leaders fought against us at every turn. They hijacked media at events claiming successes for themselves. They warned the rank and file to not join us.”
According to sources who spoke on anonymity due to their current jobs in state government, there were a series of threatening phone calls in 2009 from Nehring to legislators claiming that anyone offering aid and assistance to the Tea Party would become an “enemy” of the Republican Party.
The threats were enough to get Wildman and others to leave the party.
“The threats were so destructive that after that, I burned my Republican Party registration card and became a ‘no party preference’ voter,” said Wildman.
“Sold himself”? Bizarre. The same people who are not disturbed by Trump’s donations to Marxists throughout the country are feigning outrage over Cruz and the Bush family *possibly* forming alliances? Note that THEY are coming to him, not vice versa. Not one principle has been sacrificed.
They’re folks with deep ties to the GOP establishment.
In return for their support, Cruz is going to forgo his promise of change.
They’re not coming on board because they like him.
Druz wrote an op-ed fpr WSJ endorsing Dread Pirate John Roberts who gave us ObamaCare.
Twice.
Cruz is and always has been Bush Establishment.
On virtually every issue about which conservatives have fought, Trump has been on the other side.
Policy is made from the top down, NOT the bottom up (with well run operations at least).
You put talent in positions to best SERVE YOUR agenda.
There should be hell to pay for rejecting the Tea Party Patriots. The “Progressives” in both parties tried to destroy the only coalition that stood up for the middle class.

I’d call that a hostile takeover.
When the time is ripe, Cruz can be easily discarded.
He may not be your type of American, but dang, you know he has America's back. Obama not so much.
This too will be denied or rationalized away by the followers of Cruz. There is always an excuse when Cruz bends his principles just as happened when Neil Bush and the Bush dynasty came into the Cruz campaign.
Personnel whose views are different from the candidate’s position says a great deal about what policies are likely to prevail in an administration.
And a President delegates all but the big stuff.
“Ted Cruz’s new national spokesman, who replaced ousted spokesman Rick Tyler, came under fire last week for once hiring illegal immigrants and abusing the H-1B program when he was chairman of the Republican Party of California. “
Yeah, that’ll work....LMAO !!
We learned it from you bots.
Cruzbots will deny anything that conflicts with their view of Cruz as the true outsider.
Anything can be explained away. Just don’t follow the evidence!
Perhaps he could be Ted’s chief of staff in the White House.
Trump has Trump’s back. CRUZ has America’s back.
I believe that Trumps cabinet and judicial selections will be disasters. Cruz will select the best people. He KNOWS all the best judges, and would never betray us on the courts.
True – for now. But over time, facts and evidence will have an effect.
It took me a while to see the ugly truth about Ted Cruz. But once that is seen, it can't be unseen.
I’ve listened to e3very interview and rally that Trump has done, and have not heard this in the past TWO weeks. Crawl back under your rock. Trump can roll these people - Cruz can’t. Heck, Cruz can’t even pick good people surrounding his campaign.
