Presidential candidate Ted Cruz:
‘This Will Be Coming to America’
Islamic State “plans to bring these acts of terror to America,” Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says on Fox News.
Cruz says plan to bring “tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees” to U.S. — which he attributes to President Barack Obama and 2016 Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton — “is nothing less than lunacy”
“Those who are fleeing persecution should be resettled in the Middle East in majority-Muslim countries. Now on the other hand, Christians who are being targeted for genocide, for persecution, Christians who are being beheaded or crucified — we should be providing safe haven to them,” Cruz says
This sounds very normal to people who believe that the US was founded as a “Christian nation.”
Ted Cruz’s SuperPAC is run by David Barton, the charlatan historian who has been selling these lies to conservative Christians for years.
