Ted Cruz Stands By His Claim That Harvard Law Was Crawling With Pinkos

[TexasTowelie]

At a 2010 Fourth of July-weekend rally in Austin sponsored by Americans For Prosperity, Cruz described the ideological makeup of the Harvard Law School faculty when he was a student: "There were fewer declared Republicans in the faculty when we were there than Communists! There was one Republican. But there were twelve who would say they were Marxists who believed in the Communists overthrowing the United States government."

Cruz attended Harvard Law from 1992 to 1995, and as Mayer reports most reps from Harvard aren't sure where he got his numbers. A spokesman for the school called it "puzzling."

Charles Fried, a solicitor general under Ronald Reagan who taught Cruz at Harvard, says, "I can right offhand count four 'out' Republicans (including myself), and I don't know how many closeted Republicans when Ted, who was my student and the editor on the Harvard Law Review who helped me with my Supreme Court foreword, was a student here."

But Senator Cruz was good enough to clear everything up on The Blaze via spokesperson Catherine Frazier. The explanation: Harvard was full of Commies and why are you asking?

"It's curious that the New Yorker would dredge up a three-year-old speech and call it 'news,'" Frazier said in a statement to TheBlaze late Friday. "Regardless, Senator Cruz's substantive point was absolutely correct: in the mid-1990s, the Harvard Law School faculty included numerous self-described proponents of 'critical legal studies' -- a school of thought explicitly derived from Marxism - and they far outnumbered Republicans."

6. after 9/11, Iran began to help, yes, help the United States and other countries by joining in to

track down Osama Bin Laden. Iran was against the terrorists too and therefore an ally of America.

Keep in mind that at the last presidential election in Iran, the people (mostly educated people) had an Arab Spring against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Another election should be coming up soon. To me, Cruz is a liar and a fraud.

7. And a compadrae of Bush another liar and fraud from Texas. It is so embarrassing to be from Texas.

8. I have no idea what Cruz is trying to accomplish with that sign

I bet most Republican senators voted the same as Hagel in 2001

Cruz is a fracking fraud.
