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.”

I’m posting this mostly to defuse the outrageous implications that R. Cruz was somehow involved in the JFK assassination.
May be the most asinine reason to post an idiotic article in history....congrats
No, seriously.

I don’t want to bite you....you have to admit it was a stupid reason to post a stupid article
The herald hates all conservatives. So if they can dig up any dirt on any of them they will use it. Not much of a story however.
Actually, no, I don’t.
It’s called a pre-emptive strike.

This story has been out there for a while. It was recently picked up by the Enquirer. What is different between this story and the Cruz mistress story is the absence of the word alleged. Enquirer doesn’t say alleged to be Cruz’s father. Enquirer said alleged Cruz mistresses. Big difference in whether or not Enquirer could be sued.
Cruz and obama are strangely alike as POTUS candidates...
the parallels are frightening!
That's why our founders wanted natural born citizens as presidents.
They both seem to be dressed like Mormons, or JWs. Was Oswald handing out Watch Tower tracts?/Sarc.
WoW...Ted’s got all kinds of skeletons in his closet...
Anytime the American people are called “dupes”, you know the speaker is in the words of JFK himself “on to something.”
The pictures are from a video that was in the JFK assassination files:

This thread talks about Rafael’s life too.
There’s some things here that are not in dispute about Rafael’s life in his early years in Texas.
The Political Education Of Rafael Cruz

This one has a early photo of Rafael straight from the Cruz campaign ad. I think this photo is the one that should be compared to the guy handing out pamphlets with Oswald in the 1963 video.

Me too. I hope he is allowed to use his own security somehow.
Cruz is the 3rd one in this photo. This is not in dispute. He was in a protest against American policy in Cuba, while a student in Texas.

He had to have an FBI file since he was in an Anti-American policy rally and also writing letters against our policies. He went back to Cuba for a visit and claims he became disillusioned. I think his first wife went with him. I guess she was American.

The sign says:
“Batista’s gang have paved their way into the U.S. with Cuban bodies. Let the innocent fear not. Let the guilty face their victims. 26 July Mov.”

In his twenties, Cruz {the father} moved to New Orleans. In 1969, at his new oil company job, he met his second wife, Eleanor Elizabeth Darragh Wilson, a computer programmer from Delaware. Cruz and Wilson lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where their only child, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, was born.[

Lee Harvey Oswald was born in New Orleans. He lived in at least nine different locations throughout the city during three different time periods, before moving to Dallas about two months before President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
