A Reminder: Republicans Have More Than Trump To Worry About

Ted Cruz has just made one of the most xenophobic statements I have heard since the days of the World War II mass internment of Japanese-Americans.  He doesn't understand the negative effects of such mass discrimination on minority groups.  What does he think is a prime motivating factor for Muslim extremism in Europe?  Yes, discrimination, isolation, unemployment, et al.

Ted Cruz’s Shameful Anti-Muslim Rhetoric

The above is just one problem that Ted Cruz presents to the American people (HT Jack Vance):

• Cruz does not think that atheists are fit to be president, suggesting that he is both a bigot and lacks even a basic understanding of the Constitution.
• From the beginning of his campaign, Cruz has made outreach to evangelical fundamentalist Christians his main strategy.
• Cruz has bragged about his endorsements from Mike Bickle (if you are not familiar with Bickle, you can learn more about him here).
• Cruz's wife, Heidi, openly advocates for theocracy and claimed that Cruz will "show this country the face of the God that we serve."
• When Cruz donated clean water to the residents of Flint, Michigan, he made sure to coordinate the donations through Flint Right to Life.
• Cruz appeared with "kill the gays" preacher Kevin Swanson at the National Religious Liberties Conference and has been racking up endorsements from Christian extremists, including Bryan Fischer and Linda Harvey.
• Cruz has drawn heavily on the work of David Barton to claim that the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation.
