What Senator Cruz says on the Video is FACTUAL and he is about the only Senator willing to stand up for the United States Constitution....Obamacare is breaking those laws. Bravo for this Senator for taking a STAND against Obamacare. Propaganda against Cruz is overshadowing the truth......Ted Cruz is absolutely correct....help get the truth out Freepers. If we don't the lies will continue and we will lose. Take action.

I hope Ted is relying on Texas law enforcement and not the feds.

What are the odds on gilmore saying, “What - can’t you people take a joke?!” and the PA declining to press charges?

Gilmore is one of Holder’s “people” so I imagine the “probe” is already over. They’ve probably decided that it wasn’t a “terrorist” thing.

As a former prosecutor, I’m guessing Ted Cruz has dealt with threats before.

If Holder’s Dept. of (In)Justice is conducting the “investigation”, they won’t find any substance to the threats.

Now, if Crus were African-American, however .. . . . . . . .

I don’t expect the MSM to cover this. But if Gilmore were white and threatening Zippy, it would be wall to wall coverage.
