[su_center_b]
Ted Cruz, like some of the other Republican candidates, have nuzzled up to the Family Research Council and Pastor Kevin Swanson. This weekend he held a “Rally for Religious Liberty” as if that’s somehow lacking in America.
Cruz made the case that the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night proved that Christians are under siege, even though the attacks were on nightlife hot spots and not religious targets. Before the rally, Cruz told to reporters and said Christians need constitutional protections because they are most ostracized today, according to CNN…
Also invited were anti-gay activists Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, Texas Pastor David Welch and Dick and Betty Odgaard, an Iowa couple who had to close their wedding business after refusing to serve a same-sex couple.
Last week, Cruz joined fellow GOP presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to speak at the National Religious Liberties Conference. The Iowa event was organized by Pastor Kevin Swanson, who believes that LGBT people should be put to death.
