On Aug. 4, 2019, the day after a gunman who had posted a hateful diatribe against Hispanics fatally shot 23 people at an El Paso Walmart, a leader of a tea party group in Texas said on Facebook: “You’re not going to demographically replace a once proud, strong people without getting blow-back.”
His wife, the founder of the group, in the Fort Worth suburbs of Tarrant County, added in a comment: “I don’t condone the actions, but I certainly understand where they came from.”
Ten days later, amid a brewing backlash over the comments by Fred and Julie McCarty, the Northeast Tarrant Tea Party posted an undated testimonial from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) wishing the group a happy 10th anniversary as it rebranded itself as True Texas Project.
“Thank you for the incredible work you do,” Cruz said, in the only on-camera endorsement from an elected official posted on the group’s Facebook and YouTube pages to mark the occasion. “Julie, Fred, thank you for your passion.”

Which is saying you condone the actions.“I don’t condone the actions, but I certainly understand where they came from.”

What's with this "replace a once proud, strong people" nonsense? That is the type of language usually used when speaking about a militarily defeated group, e.g., native American peoples. I somehow do not see the good people of Tarrant county, possessions on their backs, walking on a modern Trail of Tears up to a FEMA camp in Northern Minnesota. They will continue to enjoy the fruits of an economy where the low paying service jobs are primarily filled by Hispanic individuals.Kendra wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 7:38 pm https://www.washingtonpost.com/investig ... story.htmlOn Aug. 4, 2019, the day after a gunman who had posted a hateful diatribe against Hispanics fatally shot 23 people at an El Paso Walmart, a leader of a tea party group in Texas said on Facebook: “You’re not going to demographically replace a once proud, strong people without getting blow-back.”
Claiming that Hispanic peoples are "replacing" individuals of Northwest European descent in Texas is a bit rich. That state was formed by the descendants of uninvited Anglo squatters who actually did "replace" the majority Hispanic population who lived in Texas in the late 18th Century, and subsequently fought a war of independence against Mexico in the 1830s.
Re: Rafael Edward "Felito" "Ted" Cruz - Flyin', Lyin' TX Tea Turd
I had 3 friends/coworkers who were born in Cuba. Their families fled to the US in late 1958-early 1959. They referred to themselves as Cuban-Americans and identified as White and Spanish. They did not identify as Hispanic, which was used for "mixed race peasants." Cruz would probably say that his name is Spanish, not Hispanic.keith wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 10:14 pmNaw... its Cuban-Canadian.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 8:39 pm

Our foreign exchange student from Colombia did not want to be affiliated in any way with Hispanics, particularly Mexican is. He also said he planned to marry a virgin. We had several discussions about that in which I challenged his double standards. He did marry - the mother of his two year old son.

Fun fact, Texas is the only state to secede twice to fight for the right to keep people enslaved....

The one on the Alamo and Texan succession was particularly Ironic.

Former Ethics Chief Slams Cruz’s Warning To ‘Woke’ CEOs As ‘Most Openly Corrupt’ Ever

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ted-cruz ... 5313f54bc2
Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) threat to “woke” CEOs was slammed Sunday as likely the “most openly corrupt” message ever from the Senate, declared Walter Shaub, former head of the Government Office of Ethics.
In a Wall Street Journal column last week, Cruz warned that CEOs opposing Republican threats to voting rights will be excluded from his party’s pay-to-play legislative operation — because they’re no longer conservative enough for the GOP.
For example, Republicans will stop accepting donations in exchange for “looking the other way” when corporate bigwigs dodge taxes, Cruz wrote in a stunningly honest admission of his party’s current modus operandi.
“This time,” he wrote, “we won’t look the other way on Coca-Cola’s $12 billion in back taxes owed. This time, when Major League Baseball lobbies to preserve its multibillion-dollar antitrust exception, we’ll say no thank you. This time, when Boeing asks for billions in corporate welfare, we’ll simply let the Export-Import Bank expire.”
