i've spent time with rafael cruz on the road with ted cruz.e is very, very, very close to his son in every way that you can think both ideologically and as a strong father supporting his son. the father when ted was in high school in houston was instrumental in making sure that ted went to after-school classes that taught basically bircher philosophy. philosophy by a guy named clausen and a number of other people. and so cruz, rafael cruz has always held these views. he is very influential with respect to the son. now, look, you ask the son the question do you buy this stuff? and the son easily as politicians often say about a son of relative, he doesn't speak directly for me on these issues. what's most important about rafael cruz is he speaks directly in a way that resonates to the constituencies that ted cruz wants to hear. rafael cruz has said these kinds of things in tea party groups here. i've heard him in iowa and elsewhere. and let me tell you, you go away and talk to some of these pastors, religious pastors and populist tea party folk

those are the words of the great rafael cruz, ted cruz's father. in new tape you just put online for "mother jones." take a listen to this. >> we need to send barack obama back to chicago. >> he also says the president is on outright marxist who seeks to destroy all con cemecept of god at the helm of an organization called purifying fire ministries or should that be called pants and mouth on fire ministries? >> the thing is we're not attributing the sins of the father to the son. ted cruz used his father who's a businessman turned pastor as a surrogate in talking to tea party groups and republican groups. when he was campaigning he took him on the campaign trail with him. when he was courting republicans in iowa this past summer. he's part of the cruz political operation. therefore, i think it's fair to ask ted cruz what you make of this if he had a campaign manager, any other surrogate, making these statements, for instance, saying the president wants to destroy all concept of god? you know, we should send him back to kenya. you get a lot of quest

rafael cruz, the father of ted cruz. >> i mean, that's basically a right wing seal of approval from the head of the republican party, rush limbaugh. but it's not just rafael and ted cruz. all of the extremism has made its way to the halls of congress. because members openly make birther comments like this. watch this. >> i don't know whether barack obama was born in the united states or not. i don't know that. but i do know this. that in niz heart he's not american. he's just not an american. >> all ki tell you is that the general consensus is that he has produced a birth certificate. question is, is it legitimate? >> i mean, if someone asked for my birth certificate, i'd go and get it out and say here it is. >> so all of these outrageous statements, governor, by members of congress. i mean, again the extreme going mainstream in the republican party. >> sure. these aren't citizens who go to a rally and say something. these are elected officials who bear the republican party across their chest. it's alarming in one sense, but also heartening in another sense. because the more they ratche

bruce welcome to the program i tom thanks for having me on thanks for joining us tell us about rafael cruz a sermon. well this is the narrative that's being promoted. quite heavily in recent years it within the put politicized religious right it's an expression of dominionism which is basically the idea that. select believers and especially heterosexual christian men but none necessarily exclusively it beckoning include women to should aggressively move into and take over take control of all relevant sectors of society including government and business education and media there's a laundry list and. this is an idea that was conceived back in the one nine hundred eighty s. but then it got simplified more recently into something called the seven mountains mandate huge mountain being a sector of society so what rafael cruz is telling it is followers people in the movement. which is no heat in waiting compas five to ten percent of america by some stretch people who might get this it received this sort of message in church or through some medium. so the encouragement is that believers should do

. >>> and in "pretenders" tonight, daddy dearest, rafael cruz. bearing false witness while trying to boost jr.'s political career. sr. called president obama and outright marxist, who seeks to destroy all concept of god? we now know where ted daddy's issues started. >> we need to send barack obama back to chicago. i'd like to send him back to kenya. >> oops. senator ted cruz often praises his cruz often praises his father as a symbol of the american dream from coming from cuba to the united states. maybe we should send both cruz krarkts back to cuba by way of canada. there's a trip for you. rafael cruz thinks if he thinks bashing the president of the united states is living the american dream, he can keep on pretending. er ] 1.21 gigawatts. today, that's easy. ge is revolutionizing power. supercharging turbines with advanced hardware and innovative software. using data predictively to help power entire cities. so the turbines of today... will power us all... into the future. ♪ help the gulf when we made recover and learn the gulf, bp from what ha

. >> this story came about because i spent a couple of days looking at videos of rafael cruz, who is the 74 or 5-year-old father of senator ted cruz. rafael cruz is an evangelical pastoring lives in texas, an immigrant from cuba, used to be a businessman before he turned toward preaching. i found a lot of excessive or extreme rhetoric in videos of him speaking at republican and tea party groups. people may say, wait a second, you can't blame the son for the rhetoric or sins of the father and that's usually the case, i wouldn't want to be held accountable for what my parents had to say but there's one big exception here. ted cruz uses his father extensively as a campaign surrogate. he campaigns with him during his campaign in 2012, his senate campaign in texas, he sent rafael cruz to republican groups, to tea party groups, to speak on his behalf. so it's like your campaign manager or running mate or somebody made these comments. so i found a lot of, you know, to me surprising in how extreme they were remarks that rafael cruz was making in which he says things leek, the united states is

guest: this story came about because i spent a couple of days looking at videos of rafael cruz, who is 74-year-old, 75-year-old father of senator ted cruz. evangelicalis an pastor who lives in texas. he used to live in cuba. he is to be a businessman before he turned to preaching. i found a lot of excessive or extreme rhetoric and videos of him speaking at republican and tea party groups. people may say wait a second, you cannot blame the sum for the -- son for the rhetoric or sense of the father. that is usually the case. i do not want to be held accountable for what my parents had disappeared but there's is one big deception here -- ted cruz uses his father extensively -- there is one big exception here -- ted cruz uses his father extensively. he sent rafael cruz to republican groups, tea party groups to speak on his behalf. your tempe manager are running mate or somebody isbe's comments -- so it like your campaign manager or running mate or somebody made these comments. is remarks that rafael cruz making in which he says things like the u.s. is a christian nation, hate is not used j

>> well, i think the problem with the figure of rafael cruz is not so much for ted cruz specificallyhim a hero, because it serves to underscore this perception that they're motivated primarily by personal antipathy to president obama and there is a fringe that believes in birtherism and conservative thinkers like ross have been saying they have to create distance from that fringe if they want to start talking to the middle of the electorate more. >> on the other hand, if you're a politician, you can say why are you attacking my poor aged father. i can see, you know, parents get a pass sometimes when it comes -- >> right, i think the issue for ted cruz is as you suggested at the beginning, that his dad has been part of his stump speech, part of his inspirational story and his dad is a public figure in his own right. he is a sought-after speaker on sort of tea party and a certain strain of evangelical christian speaking circuits. so it isn't as simple as saying well, it's just my dad, he said something i don't agree with it and so on. i think the issue for cruz going into 2016, where w

rafael cruz is a cuban immigrant and pastor and a hero to a number of tea party groups, so those commentsher, are getting strong reaction today. i want to bring in two people to break this down. democratic strategist chris kofinas joins me from washington and the hot list anchor, amy holmes, joins me from new york. welcome to both of you. chris, let me begin with, shouldn't we call this what it is? you flat out say this is racist. >> it's pretty hard to see it any other way. listen, politics is a hardcore business and you will get punched when you're running for office and i think we all kind of accept that in this business. i think you run for office, you kind of accept that reality. but there are certain lines that are consistently being crossed by this fringe, you know, with the tea party or the fringes in the tea party, where it's not simply they attack the president in terms of what they dislike about his policy. they attack him personally, his belief in god, the notion that he's not american. how else would you describe it? it is beyond the pale that people think this is acceptable.

guest may start a hole eye war on this one. >> thank you for having me. >> what do you think about rafael cruzed to give wealth back to those who earned it. >> i thought i was miss informed. i thought you said annoying. when you have the senior cruz, whose mame, rafael, means god has healed instead to add to the woundedness of america rather than healing america i think is problematic. and i think they're miss informed. >> you know it is interesting, and you bring up an interesting point that a lot of these folk who are defunding their assaults upon obama care are using a biblical basis or at least a religious one. what is it about the kind of right that wants to take away advantages of the poor by citing the bible? >> i think it's a form of ignorance, they're trying to make this a three kratic society, rather than a democratic society. when you look at matthew 25, 24, when it says i tell you the truth mothers and sisters, as you do it to the least of these you have done it for me. i think they interpret that least to be the less. i think of god being an inclusive god, not an exclusive god, bu

this is rafael cruz. a blog found this, colorado pauls, it is called. ather. >> barack obama wrote, if the winds shift, i will side with the muslims. >> he is muslim. >> mccain couldn't say that because it is not politically correct. it is time to stop being politically correct. >> if you speck me to defend that statement, i am not saying anything. >> i'm not saying defending the substance of the statement but more, this is not just one time he said something. it is multiple times. >> until i hear ted cruz make those comments, here's the thing. it is 2013. the election is three years away. if somebody goes into a voting booth and say i don't know where this cruz guy stands. but his father who is 74 years old who may or main be coherent at this point. >> this isn't about 2016. this is about some of the ugliness that tends to seep through our ugliness. and someone whose father has parented that. i love that he is saying it is too politically correct. it is fantasy on fan as they. that's what fuels politics. if that is not condemned no mat hear says it, the

his name is rafael cruz. i think they make exceptions for their point of view politically. think they're willing to accept anybody's papers. i think he is a natural born american. >> i wish we were going to see some integrity -- you know, i -- we as democrats are open to the broadest spectrum of people participating. i'm not going to become a birther about ted cruz, but if you had a bit of political consistency on the other side, there would be paranoia about this guy born in canada. there's not going to be that because they don't have that kind of intellectual or political consistency or integrity. >> i'm all for his background. >> it's a great american story. >> cuban-irish. i think it'd be fun, a group of people like that getting together. mr. mayor, you think they're going to jump on this guy out of the reason when they suspect -- want to suspect the president was born in kenya for some bizarre notion of history and conspiracy that once they find out that he is in the worst case scenario, they'll jump him. do you think they're that consistent? >> i think the republican

clearly this kamikaze kind of attitude that the tea party people and senator rafael eduardo cruz and. the princess from alaska have is is counterproductive politically it's hurting them in terms of getting reelected that's the only thing that care about that's the only constraint that concerns them as far as policy is concerned there are those there's nobody remotely like. dwight eisenhower or even richard nixon or her as you say ronald reagan i think those people would all be well to the left of center of today's republican party go back and you read the nine hundred fifty six republican party platform and they bragged and eisenhower ran ads about this i've run them on the show they bragged about the fact that they had almost doubled the level of unionization in the united states they bragged about the fact that they had expanded social security by adding people with disabilities and added millions of people to social security eligibility these were these are popular programs these were these worked for republicans for much of america's history of what has happened within your party
