Figures. Ted Cruz Spokesman Tried to Stomp Out the Tea Party – Now He Speaks for Ted
Gateway Pundit ^ | 3/10/16 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/10/2016 1:52:20 PM PST by M. Thatcher

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.

And if Cruz selects people like John Roberts?

What if the Bush family is advising him on judicial picks?

Ted has very, very, poor judgment. How much more proof do people need to see this? I guess a house has to fall on them, and even that wouldn’t wake them up.

The more you read about the intertwined relationships in the establishment,the more you realize it’s all rotten and needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people actually believe there is a political solution to the corruption within the leadership of our nation.

Cruz has made more campaign errors than Trump. Just two weeks ago Cruz had to fire one of his top campaign workers. Who is running Trump's campaign?

Trump knows how to select the best.

Good points. What I find interesting is who is running Trump's campaign?

They're mostly pro-America conservatives and TEA partiers.

Ted financed the dirty tricks that gave Thad Cochran re-election against a very good Tea Party candidate in Mississippi. 2014. Wake up foolish Cruzers.

Non eligible, not Natural Born Citizens, Cubans, Chihuahua Prespiration Marko and Pinocchio Desperation Ted attacking Big Donald at CNN freestyle match.

Cruz "character":
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.
2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters "vote for Cruz"
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video "vote for me" with his preacher/father stomping for him. Rafael Cruz is a 7 Mountain Dominionist and believes his son is the anointed one.
4. "Brilliant" lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.
5. Making phony video advertising with lies about opponents.
6. Phony video about Rubio - Obama.
7. 7 Mountain Dominionist Church = Christian???
Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat? Liar is the polite term for this Cuban. His father was pro-communist in Cuba, imprisoned by Batista, but now he is refugee?

IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a "natural born citizen" is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.
http://www.thepostemail.com/2009/10/18/4-supreme-court-cases-define-natural-born-citizen/
Applies to Cruz and Rubio, both at the time not born to US citizens and on US soil.

I think that Trump’s voters are more closed-minded than supporters of others. Even Trump’s confession about how much he enjoyed working with Democrat fiends did not dissuade them There is always some weak excuse to justify their continued support. OR, perhaps most of them don’t even know who Reid, Schumer and Pelosi are!

Note that THEY are coming to him, not vice versa. Not one principle has been sacrificed.

....while that is all true, why try and waste time and facts on the tRumpster cult? They are swilling the kool-aid by the gallon jug now.
