WASHINGTON Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is among a handful of Republican senators expected to attend the controversial opening of the new American Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, his office has confirmed.
The trip comes roughly five months after President Donald Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and announced plans to relocate the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv.
Cruz, who has long called for such a move, praised the decision as courageous and heroic. But many Arab and European leaders slammed Trump for upending a decades-old foreign policy in which U.S. presidents declined to weigh in on the contested city, leaving the issue to be resolved in peace talks between Palestinians and Israelis. Both groups claim Jerusalem as their capital.
Cruz will be joined by Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina

“Ted Cruz booed offstage after voicing support for Israel at Christian event”
Wow. Hard to believe. I don’t know any (born again) Christians who aren’t 100% in support of Israel. There are christians and there are Christians.
All Republican congresscritters should be there to support Israel and President Trump ... on their own dime not taxpayes $$$.
As long as Cruz doesn’t try and take any of the limelight from da Prez!
“I for one remember how Cruz supporters treated Trump supporters.”
During the primaries? Like 2 years ago? When Trump supporters challenged Cruz supporters and Cruz supporters challenged Trump supporters? Yeah, it was a difficult primary. Time to move on already! Dang.
BS.
Move on. The primaries are LONG behind us. It’s time to support good conservative representatives. Time to move on.
I think Cruz’s forte is in the courtroom, not the backroom.
I still unreservedly support him for the SCOTUS.
STOP SAYING ITS CONTROVERSIAL:
1. King David paid Aruhnuh for his threshing floor ( mt zion) the going sale price. Which means its DEED OF TRUST that is 1,000 Years old.
2. Israel has a right to name thier capitol and they say its Jersusalem and has been for a long time
3.our congress by a huge margin passed the JERUSALEM RELOCATION act back in 1995 when CLINTON was POTUS an ever six months the option to move our embassy to ISREAEL was a simple as signing a piece of paper
4. Israel occupied the whole city since the war of 1967 is it controversial we still hold land we won fair an square in wars?
5. Show me a PALESTINIAN STATE that ever existed it was a name given by the ROMANS and a slam
JERUSALEM is the eternal Capitol of ISRAEL and GOD has no problem with it. If you have a problem with it take it up with GOD or you liberal media can pound sand

Yeah, but the LOSERS don't get to make that call.
The level of rhetoric used during the primaries by Cruz supporters is not so easily dismissed. You don't get to climb onto OUR train, then tell us how we should treat you and your pick.
We've already demonstrated we don't need you.
BS..The Primaries were behind us at the Convention.
Cruz was willing to gamble the election away to Hillary for his own selfish political reasons.
Assisting Hillary is unforgivable. He is fine as a Senator, he national aspirations have concluded.
Like anti-Trumpers who disrupt a Trump rally, sometimes non-Christians will crash a gathering of Christians. The following is extracted from the linked article in post 35:
...In a statement, Baaklini blamed “a few politically motivated opportunists” who crashed the event to push their agenda....
It’s okay, never cruzers on fr have said that they’d rather have the fake hispanic socialist or abortion barbie in the senate.
Okay, we will send Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein. Happy?
Reckless, you say? I dont think so. Here we have vicious rat bastards as our enemies who will stop at nothing to regain power. We have a legion of milquetoasts under our banner. Since Trump was inaugurated, Cruz has consistently been one of the top two or three most conservative Senators. Why anyone thinks its productive to continue to go after him, particularly with risible lies like that Canadian nonsense, is completely beyond me. I mean, we all know that his wife is ugly and his dad helped kill JFK, but sooner or later we have to let bygones be bygone
Wow. When I posted my last, I hadnt seen #67 yet. FRiend, Im afraid youre just a jerk.
You so eloquently demonstrate why bygones will be bygones later, rather than sooner.
FYVM
Funny stuff. Cruz got his bell rung because he shot his mouth off and came off as a typical leftist. Cruz got pounded by Trump. He was never a threat as the primary proved. Fact is, Trump blew the entire crew of corrupt career political parrots off the stage, including Rafael Cruz.
McJuan doesn’t want to attend?
Listen to the mouth on you! This is how you treat the people who have the same goals as you. With that insufferable self-righteousness you have going, youd make a great lib.
I'm not the one trying to browbeat my victims into ignoring how I treated them; and you think I'D make a great lib?
My mouth is nothing compared to your conceit.
... and victim status, and a foul mouth. Its the lib trifecta!!! Ok, Ill stop now. Listen, Your Holiness, when you decide those not as pure as you have done enough penance and can be released from purgatory, you just let us know. Well look forward to you granting us absolution.
Oh, you don't have to be "pure," you just have to stop excusing your obnoxious histrionics, but it looks like that won't happen any time soon, either.
See? Telling you to FO was perfectly reasonable, given your faction's demeanor and comportment.
