what % of people would assume, like I did, that he fled Castro. How many people realize that he actually fought for Castro?

“Y’all know my heart,” Ted Cruz told the Austin Republican Women last month. “My dad fled Cuba. He was imprisoned and tortured as a teenager, and came to Austin penniless, seeking freedom. The reason I’m running is simple. He fled oppression once. And you have my word that I’ll fight every day to protect freedom here, so that none of us have to flee oppression a second time.”

By the way, Rick Santorum's ancestors were communists in Italy, and Marco Rubio's parents fled Cuba during Battista's opresion.
