Tabloid says it has proof: Ted Cruz’s father is mystery man in Lee Harvey Oswald photo
Miami Herald ^ | April 22, 2016

Posted on 04/24/2016 2:15:08 PM PDT by Lazamataz

WASHINGTON -- The National Enquirer has published what it says is conclusive evidence that Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael B. Cruz, is the man photographed next to JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald distributing pro-Castro leaflets in 1963 in New Orleans.

The Cruz presidential campaign fired back unequivocally. “This is another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage,” communications director Alice Stewart told McClatchy. “The story is false; that is not Rafael in the picture.”

The explosive suggestion that Cruz’s father would have had any affiliation with Oswald is not corroborated in any other way. Cuban-born Rafael Cruz is now a fervent anti-communist, but there was a time he supported then-rebel leader Fidel Castro. His son, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, frequently relates his father’s arrest and torture by government officials and subsequent escape to the United States.

The elder Cruz ended up at the University of Texas at Austin and still supported Castro, who led the revolution that overthrew the Batista regime in 1959. Castro formally declared himself Marxist in 1961.

“The U.S. government was duped. The American people were duped. I was duped,” Rafael Cruz wrote in his book, “A Time for Action,” released in January. “When people ask me why I supported Castro in over-throwing the Cuban government, I readily admit that I didn’t realize he was a communist.”

However, you know what other stories were so outrageous as not to read?

The story about how the GOP and the Democrats were secretly in alignment and how they would never attack one another like they would attack an outsider.

The story about how Charles Koch was a willing part of a Kabuki Theater and that he was secretly an Establishment figure that would sooner vote for Hillary Clinton rather than Cruz or Trump.

The story about how many websites (TheRightScoop, Red State, and TownHall for examples) were actually establishment tools and not conservative like they pretended to be.

The story about how men would be allowed in little girl’s showers and bathrooms if they just claimed ‘transgender’.

So many outrageous stories!

Add to the list: Fox News pretending for years to be Fair and Balanced.

Your point is well taken.

But you do see how many Trump supporters here believe it ? Right ?
If trump supporters want to base their argument on him being the most electable - then that is a cognizant and possibly justifiable point. It is reasonable at least. ( but he will have mend a million fences with women for that to happen)
But most trump supporters here aren't making that argument - their arguments seem to be Ted Cruz is the devil himself. And Donald Trump is the smartest man in the world. And the greatest negotiator. And sometimes they say he is merely playing a role , to get elected, and of course he doesn't believe what he says, but they surmise how he will govern. And they believe his shtick.And anything he ever said before isn't who he really is, but they KNOW hoe is really is and how he will govern. And frankly, many of his supporters here simply want to WIN. Damn the consequences. They fail to realize that voting for Hillary would also put them on the winning side. But I sure as heck don't consider that a win. And I am very afraid trump slides to the left of Hillary very soon in the general election. Those are my main fears. But I will never argue with a Freeper that basses his argument that he may be more electable. And I will support trump in the general if he wins the nomination. I will NOT vote for trump if he runs 3rd party however. Because that would certainly elect Hillary. We got the Clintons originally because of a 3rd party run by a rich business man who shares many same supporters still today with Trump.

Then Rafael should sue for pain and suffering or some type of damages. But, then he would have to be under oath. Strange,that he was in New Orleans at the same time as Oswald. Did they know each other or not ?

Cruz and obama are strangely alike as POTUS candidates, and not just the nature of their appeal to (the "One" we've been waiting for), or how they are loved by, their ideological cohorts and fan bases.

And not just with their almost identically questionable citizenship and POTUS eligibility status, or that they both claim citizenship through their mothers and not their alien/foreign-citizen fathers, or that both have sealed their records making verification or further investigation impossible.

Or that their fathers each had or have other marriages with children/step-siblings.

Or that both obama and Cruz are both Ivy League trained lawyers who both taught the Constitution and who both consider themselves Constitutional experts.

Or that both advanced to run for the presidency as young, politically unknown, first-term Senators with little or no accomplishment in their short Senate careers.

Both Cruz and obama also each have bio-dads who were aligned with Marxist/communist, political radicals who were aligned against US allies and/or US foreign interests, and who both were likely known by law enforcement/CIA, etc., with paperwork on file, etc.

How coincidentally similar. What are the odds of that?

Heh, so the National Enquirer sex scandal story didn’t pan out so well so now they are on to this loopy stuff.

I am sure Alex Jones will have fun with it at least.

Oh and by the way, to all the Trumpsters who swore up and down that the “Cruz sex scandal” would have legs - what happened? We were told the proof was just days away, that Politico was about to release a major story with evidence, etc, etc. None of it came to pass. The whole thing was a bunch of garbage, just as Cruz said it was.

'The CIA connection with R. Cruz is interesting however. '

Exactly. Raphael shows up to college, no money or a job, and gets a social security card from the school...lol. Raphael Cruz has explained his history less than Obama has.

I don't know if that is Cruz or not. I also don't know if old man Cruz had anything to do with Kennedy assassination.

If the tabloid has proof, they should produce it or drop it.

Proof The Sheeple Are Being Led By The Government Media Matrix:

We have pictures of The Cabana Boi, Marco Rubio, cavorting shirtless with "the boyz". The pictures show someone--someone, quite frankly, clearly him. NOTHING raised by the National Stinquirer. No real talk about it on FR, or other sites, either. No mention of it by TRUMP. I wonder why. For Christ's sake, Rubio made fun of The Donald's penis size! It went unpunished by The Great Twitter Warrior? ?

Whatever picture this is supposed to be... has become at least 3 posts in the last 24 hours. Normally sane freepers in a sea of idiots have become victims to a cult of personality. Some are even posting utter bullshit.

Do you not see we are being manipulated? Divided and weakened, and destroyed?

Don’t worry if anything happens it’ll be completely swept under the rug, even if there’s an intact/dud missile protruding from the plane’s body... just like Scalia.

Heard a rumor that teds father was a commando at the bay of pigs. he was so mad at JFK pulling the plug he went to the CIA to offer his services to kill JFK. And he did it with a Ray gun taken from the little green men who crashed at roswell.
It must be true. I read it in the NE.
