Heidi’s disagreement with the NAU plan was that it should not be government enforced but left to the private sector. She didn’t disavow dropping the borders and sovereignty. And why was she a member of the CFR anyway? Oh, I know, so she can keep her eye on them, right?

The Trump camp has started to bring up Heidi Cruz's involvement with the CFR's paper on the North American Union hoping that people don't look up what her role actually was in that. Cruz was not there to promote the NAU, on the contrary, she was brought in as a critic and defender of US sovereignty and the free market. Considering the NAU plans seem to have died, one could argue looking back years later, that she helped kill the plan.

Doh!

This article is FALSE. The author deliberately misquotes Heidi Cruz' statement.

Here is what he claims Heidi said:

“We must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us — truly the measure of our success. As such, investment fundsand financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants.”

His comments on it:

So basically, her role here is to say that free markets and free trade are the answer to greater regional prosperity. I find it hard to believe that any conservative or republican would disagree with this or condemn her for believing it...

Here is what Heidi ACTUALLY said:

I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America. Economic prosperity and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are no doubt inextricably linked. While governments play an invaluable role in both regards, we must emphasize the imperative that economic investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital, and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses. This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for the poorest among us – truly the measure of our success. As such, investment funds and financing mechanisms should be deemed attractive instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed in conjunction with market participants.

See what he did there? He purposely omitted Heidi's SUPPORT for the NAU, and even lies further by making it out like his cut-off sentence is actually the start of a new sentence.

Heidi Cruz DID NOT "DISSENT" -- she fully supports the subversion of U.S. sovereignty by an NAU, but she also wants the private sector (eg. her Goldman Sachs partners) to get in on the booty. She is a globalist snake, and this lying article should be exposed once and for all.

An aide to Donald Trump on Friday fulfilled the businessman's threat to "spill the beans" on Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi.

Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson rattled off a list of attacks three days after Trump first made the threat.

"Spilling the beans is quite simple when it comes to Heidi Cruz," Pierson said in an interview with MSNBC's Steve Kornacki.

"She is a Bush operative; she worked for the architect of NAFTA, which has killed millions of jobs in this country; she was a member on the Council on Foreign Relations who — in Sen. Cruz's own words, called a nest of snakes that seeks to undermine national sovereignty; and she's been working for Goldman Sachs, the same global bank that Ted Cruz left off of his financial disclosure," Pierson said.

"Her entire career has been spent working against everything Ted Cruz says that he stands for," she added.
