Wasn’t it just last week that Ted Cruz secured the endorsement of leading pro-life activist and misogynist ideologue, Troy Newman? Newman, the president of Operation Rescue, and very recently deported from Australia, openly advocates for the assassination of abortion providers and claims explicit biblical justification for such actions.
But Cruz has also recently stood on the same stage as rabid, anti-gay pastor Kevin Swanson, as part of his effort to curry favor with the “Kill the Gays” extremist and his supporters.
