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.
How does one take Mandela out of context?
Can you take necklacing out of context?
Can you take terrorism out of context?
Can you take attempting to overthrow the Nasionale Party government out of context?
Mandela was violent and was sent to prison for acts designed to destroy a government.
I really like Senator Cruz but in my opinion this is the first disappointing, non conservative act he has made. Wasting taxpayers money to attend that circus just to appease a voting block doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy. At least he stuck it to one commie while there.
Nobody has to speak out against him, they would never be given the time to make their case anyway. But there’s no good reason for any of them to give credence to the lie that is Mandela.
What this whole affair has shown me is that Republicans fear the truth as much as leftists despise it.
Sorry. Nelson “michelin” mandela was a terrorist and a communist. Ted Cruz should have stayed home.
Walking out, yes. But why did he even go. A quiet ‘no thanks I have to organize my sock drawer ‘ type of answer from a junior aide would have spoken eloquently as to Cruz's contempt for this commie wet dream fest. When are white people going to stop being Mau-Maued by the blackamoors? Why do we have so little spine about this cr-p?
That’s the kind of lack of faith that will lead to failure against the liberals.
