Yesterday was Muslim Brotherhood Day on Capitol Hill in Washington DC where Muslims invaded the Capitol and annoyed as many Congresspeople and Senators as they could. Senator Ted Cruz turned them away.
The Intercept Monday was Muslim Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill, but in Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s office, it was more like “Ignore Your Muslim Constituents Day.”
A total of 215 congressional offices opened their doors to Muslims who traveled to Washington to meet with their representatives, members of the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations said at a Monday evening press conference. But 14 Texas constituents were unable to get a meeting with anyone from Cruz’s office, despite repeated attempts over a period of weeks.
“During the initial onset of us requesting a meeting, we did get a response back,” said Alia Salem, one of the Cruz constituents. “They said, ‘We’re going to put you in touch with our Middle East policy adviser.’ We were kind of perplexed by that. … We’re Americans coming from Texas to talk about American issues.”
Salem felt his group was being stereotyped. “Once we affirmed that we’re not coming for that but for this — we’re coming for American Muslim issues, American issues in general — we didn’t hear back from them.
And this was over the span of weeks, so we’re talking about multiple emails, more than five emails being sent, multiple phone calls, and the latest one being on Saturday, telling them we are coming, you haven’t scheduled a meeting with us, there will be 20 of us coming. … So it’s not like we didn’t give them a chance, repetitive chance after chance.”
“Once we got there, we were given the excuse by interns: “They’re all tied up in meetings,’” Salem said. The group held meetings in other Texas Republicans’ offices, including with staff in Rep. Joe Barton’s office, and with Sen. John Cornyn himself. Salem said no other Texas office declined a meeting.
Meanwhile, Cruz foreign policy adviser Frank Gaffney published an op-ed in The Hill headlined “Muslim Brotherhood Day on Capitol Hill” — a reference to the Islamist movement in the Middle East that forms the ideological basis for various Sunni Arab political parties.
Gaffney wrote that the organizers of Monday’s events were “associated with Islamic supremacism,” and called them “the latest in a long series of front organizations associated with, and working to advance, the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.”
Some of the Muslim Texans noted a change in Cruz’s behavior since he became a leading Republican presidential candidate. “We met with the senator two years ago for the first time,” Mustafaa Carroll said. “We met with his office last year. It was cordial. We had no problems.
Maybe that was before he heard you say this:
Mazen Mokhtar, executive director of the Muslim American Society of Dallas, said it was “an alarming development” that a presidential candidate would express “bigotry against their own constituents, essentially.” And he criticized Cruz for hiring Gaffney.
In his presidential campaign, Cruz has made Muslims a frequent rhetorical punching bag, suggesting police surveillance for Muslim American neighborhoods and arguing against letting Syrian refugees come to the United States.
I’d be cautious not to read too much into this. Cruz support of TPP and increased immigration is the equivalent policy application of what is going on with the EU. He’s also hired a company for his campaign that “specializes in mass deception, psychological warfare, influence operations, and behavior modification” (Cambridge Analytics), and has received an endorsement he’s proud of, which is CIA David Dewhurst, who worked in Central and South America with Klaus Barbie (The “Butcher Of Lyon”). One of the Cruz campaign managers is CIA Chad Sweet, who recruited Heidi for Goldman Sachs where he worked. Now Beidi works for the campaign full-time (but on leave from GS). Whenever you have someone supporting the Transnationalists, the Islamic interests are in it too. Then we must remember that Cruz fast-tracked the Corker bill, effectively removing Constitutional power from the Senate, so Obama could facilitate the Iran Deal without real opposition (and do the Senators who needed to, could “protest” it publicly). This isn’t a statement or stand by Cruz–it’s just “optics.” One must look at his record (as well as all his many sealed records), to understand who he really is.
It amounts to campaign strategy for Cruz is all, and is just another thing for moslems to whine about. If he was on the level, he’d say so himself rather try to let Gaffney take the heat and deflect for him.
If you like Donald Trump perhaps you will find this trunews interview with Mark Taylor interesting.
http://www.trunews.com/trunews-041816-mark-taylor-gods-man/
Muzzrats have had free rein for 7 and a half years with your traitorous snake in the WH. Time to take back control of your once great country, which he and his bunch of MB supporters, has succeeded in reducing to virtually a Third World hellhole.
Anybody who stands against this flood of Muslims demanding that we change our culture to suit them would get my vote. And that person would set an example to those wishy washy governments in Europe. I’m scared for my future and even more so for my children.
And as for which politician would do that, well, they are all lying rat bags so one can only hope!
Cruz instinctively knows his own kind (muslims). Cruz like cockroach muslims puts neo-Pentecostalism and Monsanto above the law of the Land (Nature). Eradicate islam !
“So it’s not like we didn’t give them a chance, repetitive chance after chance”… To surrender.
what is interesting to note is that the building faces East. With their bum in the air,they point East. Which is without a doubt NOT ISLAMIC.
So, one can only ask the question. What is really going on. Would a real muslim point his ass to mecca in prayer. there is ONLY one answer. They were not praying! It was all just a show to feel the infidel. Nothing more. America NEEDS TO WAKE UP. If these are te lengths these criminals are prepared to go to………. THERE ARE NO HOLY COWS when it comes for their quest to take over the world
Their demands sound more like terms of surrender.
I am amazed that some lunatic has’nt gone all Sunni on them and given them a dose of their own medicine. Is it not every Muslims dream to be blasted to paradise to present their butts to their hooven God? I’m sure there would be many a crusader who would be more than happy to accomodate them in fulfilling their dream.
The whole exercise was a cheap stunt in order to embarrass Mr Cruz . I’m not sure how you think of them in America , but here in Oz , the Muslim Brotherhood is considered the Muslim equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan, only Obama and his minions would happily degrade themselfs by acknowledging and groveling to their demands.
Love or hate him, at least it shows Mr Cruz has some standards.
“In his presidential campaign, Cruz has made Muslims a frequent rhetorical punching bag…”
Hey, if the headbag fits…
Regardless of what Cruz says, I don’t trust the slimy lyin’ scumbag and he has done a lot of harm to Trump by stealing delegates and being a crooked lyin’ POS.
I believe I read somewhere that Cruz voted in favour of “refugees”. At any rate, nothing that lyin’ POS says can be trusted.
Trump 2016!
Ted Cruz supporting Syrian “refugees” coming to USA
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/11/16/video-senator-ted-cruz-demanding-u-s-take-syrian-refugees-and-not-worry-about-terrorist-embeds/
Ted Cruz also seals his birth certificate and other info. Optic of that is not good. Honest and transparent people don’t do that.
This is an ideology that hates and despises American law, freedom of speech and thought and is actively protected by Obama, Clinton and the democrats to even having this irrational hysterical attitude towards free and peace loving Israel.
What the Muslims are showing to in your face Americans is that we are here and for 1 day will totally dominate your democracy. With taqiyyah we hate and despise you. Expect more terrorism and pathetic excused from leftys protecting us and spouting we are the religion of peace. Instead Islam has always been and will be the religion of war, conquest and jihad.
And we will park a mosque next door to you – suckers!
Thank you, Bonni, for cutting Ted some slack. I always admire your innate honesty, which is why I keep coming back here. As a Cruz supporter I favor Ted over Trump for one reason: He has a record on which to base the things he says, while Trump flip-flops and has only his latest word, which seems to change depending on who is asking and why. We no longer live in an America where this is enough. Of course people make mistakes sometimes, but I haven’t heard him admit it yet. Ronald Reagan, although he was far from perfect, had no problem doing this.
MB, I get a lot of criticism for posts like this but when he gets it right, he deserves recognition. I was a Cruz fan originally but decided we need a real shake-up in Washington which only someone like Trump can do. I still maintain that a Trump/Cruz ticket would be awesome.
Me too Bonni. If they would just stop the mud slinging, they would make a formidable President/Vice President.
I just came across this
Ben Carson News
Cruz: ‘Zero Interest Whatsoever’ in Being Trump’s Running Mate”
I think he is “cutting his nose off to spite his face”
Frankly I wish Trump would pick Palin, the media hated her that alone makes her attractive to me.
I am Australian and I hope MR TRUMP wins, it will benefit America as well as my country Australia, TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT.
Thanks for taking this position Ted.
It’s too bad you’ve lost my trust on multiple other issues.
I hope Trump can understand jihad, hijrah and sharia.
I am a Cruz voter and appreciate very much he refused this bunch of scums. I believe he will deal with them if pres. but if Trump gets in, i hope he will not pander or accept them. He may not be as familiar with the mudslime brotherhood as Cruz but hope advisors will give him the correct advice. I want them categorized as terrorist organization, Cruz has sponsered a bill in on this, but no action yet.
PK, Trump is more familiar with it than you might think. I still think they should bury the hatchet and team up on one ticket.
I’m a Ted Cruz supporter, also.
Cruz is right, it is crazy to accept 10000 Syrians into the us.
More than 9 months ago Australia pledged 12000. After more than 10000 interviews, only 26 have made the cut, and we know the first family of 6 were Sunni. People questioned what the fuck is going, and why didn’t Saudi take these.
Aren’t the true refugees those in the highest need such as the persecuted minorities like Jews, Christians , Zoroastrians, yazidis etc…??
So we will wait for the next senate estimates hearing to see if that figure has increased, but the republican can certainly use their Aussie kin as an example of the correct thing to do.
I hope trump wins, cruz is nasty and oily, but does have some positives like protecting the American people and constitution which is the first responsibility of a president.
Ted Cruz has supported importing Muslim immigrants and did not speak up for bringing in christian refugees from middle east as they are real victims with no where to go.
Obama has not only rejected christian refugees but deported those who made it across the mexican border http://tinyurl.com/qzzoqru
Its only after Trump talked about banning muslims and deporting fake syrian “refugees” and gaining votes , Ted like typical politician changed his tune http://tinyurl.com/hq57q75
Being a Bush Family pal and with Bush family supporting him expect him to fall at saudi feet for Millions in “donation” to then allow Muslim immigration just as Hillary and Bernie will do.
Marstar, Dutton has said very clearly a few weeks ago ( it was in the Australian newspaper, which is our best newspaper) that from now on they will take Christian and Yazedis as these people cannot return home. They are doubly persecuted. But they will still go through our very rigorous checking. I think we must be amongst some of the toughest checkers of refugees and illegals in the world. Great. Dutton said that no one will be coming here and attacking us in our own cities or attempting to change our way of life. Now we have an sudden election called for the 2nd July. We cannot let Labor/Greens get anywhere near winning parliament. I will get you the article on Dutton.
@Mastar:
Little Switzerland took last year 40,000 muslims “refugees” , this year probably between 60,000 and 120,000.
Switzerland: 41 285 km²; 8.081 million inhabitants and less than 1/3 of living space. In addition, Switzerland is overcrowded.
USA= 9 857 000 km²
Which would be equivalent to the USA in 2015 9 ‘550’199,6 muslims “refugee” more .
I mean, 9 ‘550’199,6 parasites muslims impossible to adapt, in one year!
Muslims meet Swiss prisons since the Balkan war, crime and the number of parasites exploded because of these scum. They multiply four times faster than the local population.
“We’re talking about multiple emails, more than five emails being sent, multiple phone calls, and the latest one being on Saturday, telling them we are coming, you haven’t scheduled a meeting with us, there will be 20 of us coming. … So it’s not like we didn’t give them a chance, repetitive chance after chance.”

always felt Cruz would serve our country well and good but he is no Trump who can and will make our country back into a super power it was . Pray for Trump that nothing ill happens.on his shoulders rides the last hope of a free world as we used to know it and our children will get the chance to know it
“. Pray for Trump that nothing ill happens”
Have you heard that really filthy violent song about murdering Trump if he becomes President.. Totally perverted stuff but being praised and promoted by the music industry.
Yes let’s do pray for the man
God, haven’t heard it but who’s surprised. Disgusting!!!! These are the scum who point fingers at others about violence, and they are naturally the most violent of all. It will mean America’s 2nd civil war if something happens to Trump if he is the winning candidate for the GOP nomination, and if/when he makes the White House, something happens there, a massive uprising will surface in America. Was it Kasich who acknowledged this by saying ‘We should have seen this coming, a tsunami sweeping the nation.’ He also said an uprising would occur if the GOP takes away Trumps win of the nomination. Well if that’s what its going to take for you guys to save your great nation so be it. Sometimes only full battle can do the job. Many Aussies will be with you, and many would go fight as well.
” mean America’s 2nd civil war if something happens to Trump”
Ingrid, I believe that has been the foul b o’s plan since he got into office.
no have not herd it yet but I know enough about my fellow american from the deep deep far left including Sirhan Sirhan types to get spookie about loosing Trump just when we need him most
So what? There are millions of Americans that do not like Islam or Muslims. But very few are Senators in the US Congress. Why should this maggot get any recognition for refusing to meet with Muslims? I’d be much more impressed if he had invited them to take a flight in a chartered jet passenger plane and then flown them into the Rock in Mecca where they all trot around at the Haj! Oh yeah and put an H Bomb in the plane and blown it up just as they were about to hit the ground!
Then I would have said something complimentary as well, such as…glad you were on the plane with them Ted!…lol
Trump 2016!
Thank you Senator (hope President) Cruz. If everyone else had done the same maybe they BS has no place in this great country. Please leave.
Alia Salem: We’re Americans coming from Texas to talk about American issues.” ABSOLUTE LIES.
The Muslims were in D.C. to DECEIVE and PROPAGANDISE. Portray Muslims as VICTIMS. Get even more special rights and privileges for Muslims and advance the cause of Islam and a global caliphate.
In Islam, the world is divided into two: Muslims and non-Muslims. Non-Muslims are HATED and regarded as the enemy to be CONQUERED.
Muslims want to overthrow the American government (as well as ALL other non-Muslim governments) and replace the government with Muslims and barbaric sharia law.
Muslims cannot call themselves Americans because Muslims OPPOSE all non-Muslim governments and laws.
So right Linda, NO vile Muslim is “American”. Every Muslim here hates America, cant wait to take over and totally destroy America. ANYONE with the smallest amount of understanding of isslime knows all this full well. Only the most ignorant would think the demonized creatures were ever saying anything that was truthful.
Don’t forget he said (in jest) he wanted to kill Donald Trump. You shouldn’t joke about such things.
Every one knows 80 percent of repub voters (combine trump and teds voters) hate muslims.
How do you expect Ted to Visit Muslims
Trump knows about CAIR and company. He’s not elected to political office. Wait till he does become the next POTUS.
I hope CAIR gets the message that we do not want to be Muslimized in America. America is tired of your bigotry, law suits, Satanic religion and terrorist attacks. You should be arrested and charged with treason for your disregard of the constitution. You want to replace this with 7th century bullshit sharia.
“I hope CAIR gets the message that we do not want to be Muslimized”
No Glenn cair will not get that ” message” until they get a resounding slap up side the head and told to shut the hell up. I hope every single one of the nasty old farts are among the firstt to go, or helped along on being gone. We have heard their ugly twisted sharia attitude quite long enough.
I like what he says here – I just dont trust him and his wife. While Ted was in the press putting the CFR down, Heidi was on the CFR (Heidi had a 5 year term). Why did she not quit in protest or make waves while on the CFR if she was really such a concerned citizen? Too much good cop bad cop for me – I think they are both globalists.
I don’t trust either of them, neither Heidi nor Cruz. They’ve both been in the political process for too long. Nothing good comes from this.
They are globalist. If you go on Robert Stone you can read about Ted Cruz.
After Cruz cheered his voterless “victory” he lost any credit he had.
To applaud the loss of democratic system is pure communism/socialism/left wing politics. Cruz is part of establishment and he is so proud of support of RINOS.
Most Americans haven’t grasped the problem. To not do so quickly will bestow us the fate of Europe, being reduced into a rape degenerative sewer. If you ask any so-called Muslim refugee if they support ISIS beheadings and torture–only 21% say they do. But, if you ask whether their purpose is to overtake our society with Islam, they all say “but of course.” Study Islam, the United States has been at war with them since our inception–since they were the pirates, the slavers, the barbarians . . .since they supported Adolph Hitler during WW2 and when they attempted to strangle us with gas lines in 1973, since 9/11. Arabs and Muslims have never had any best interest other than that of their satanic child molester and murderer.
I echo your sentiment, Bonni. Even though I can’t vote, Cruz at least has the courage to speak out, whatever his foibles may be.
People around the world bag Trump and Cruz, not realising that America really is the last bastion of free speech coupled with the lawful right to defend yourself with deadly force if need be.
If America falls to this invasion I think all will be lost. Voicing such a view, of course, means you’ll be ridiculed by all the unicorn and rainbow believers who are really no different to the naive woman who thinks she can reform a man who is an alcoholic, druggie or gambler if she just loves him enough.
We need to be able to do the thing with the imposed immigrating-refugee programs in our communities. So typical of the government leaders who can have armed guards 24/7 however they want to take away our right to bear arms.
At least some legislators are beginning to fight back against the forced tax payer funded programs that support the immigrating refugees.
Tennessee Legislature Votes To Sue Feds Over Refugee Program:

[Hope that the Legislature follows-through on this – and not just another ‘election year show’.]
” we’re coming for American Muslim issues, “.
And damn do they have “issues”. The very word Musslime creates huge “issues” in my mind. Way to go Mr. Cruz!!!!! I am so SICK of isslime, and everything the vile , damned evil, ugly thing represents, MY GOD I DO HATE ISSLIME!!! It is the Devils best thing he ever invented to completely destroy humankind, he hates humankind…. God BLESS you Mr. Cruz!!!!
Cruz got my vote in the North Carolina primary.
Frank Gaffney is one of the very few clear thinkers on American – Middle East policy. The muslims should be perplexed.
