Ted Cruz Fuels Fringe Conspiracy Theory About A Military Takeover In Texas

Have you heard the one where President Obama is planning to use Special Forces to impose martial law in Texas and then hold prisoners in abandoned Walmart buildings? Sound crazy? Yes, it DOES sound crazy because it IS crazy. It’s a ridiculous rumor created by fringe groups who are promoting this lunacy on the Internet.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz – who also happens to be running for president of the United States – has decided to pander to the GOP minority of paranoid concerned citizens by telling them he’ll ask the Pentagon for answers.
