WASHINGTON -- The National Enquirer has published what it says is conclusive evidence that Ted Cruzs 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 Cruzs 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 fathers 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 didnt realize he was a communist.

LOL!
I doubt it. He’s nuts.
I really miss the guy I thought Ted Cruz was. [sigh]
Does the name Santos Trafecante ring a bell?
In most of the pictures I see Heidi and Turd, she looks disgusted to be within 20 yards of the man.
There's something strange going on...
Ted’s father is definitely a Castro supporter. No question about it.
Did he raise Ted to be a Manchurian Candidate?
The Cruz family history is positively weird.
to me the ears are not the same.... nor the hairline
and i agree with you - if this was all - a nothing burger
but it’s not all..... ; )
Careful with that axe Eugene.....
Exactly right.
Laz I was under the impression they were handing out pamphlets together. Am I wrong? The Enquirer also tried to imply there was more since Ted’s dad left the Country right after the assassination of JFK. I doesn’t affect my opinion of Ted. I still dislike and distrust him. But, Enquiring minds want to know!!
Or, more likely, the plane accident.
If so, there is no way Ted is eligible for the Presidency. He would be born in a foreign country to two non-citizens.
And now Teddy has denounced his Canadian citizenship. So, he is truly a man without a Country.
CIA, communist double agent, organized crime? Whatever it was, Rafael was up to his eyes in sleaze.
