Ted Cruz stunned into silence

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Have you ever felt like you HAD to do something? Perhaps you felt you must volunteer for a worthy cause. Or donate to a charity. Or — vote. What we’re up against is not small in nature. It is a huge monster; it’s hate itself. That is what we must defeat — hate itself.

And all of us — you and me — are trying to do just that. We’re trying because we heard the whispers. Perhaps it was the whispering wind, its breezes murmuring that this is a cause greater than any one person. Maybe you heard the whispers in sand-coated seashells or the beautiful waves of the sea.

Perhaps you don’t know how and where you heard it — you just know that you did. It was the whispering of calls to action — to activism. Others are hearing it too. The man who just confronted non-Senator Ted Cruz heard it. It happened at a restaurant. The man asked Ted a simple question. Why.

“Why did you come here to the convention?” He was speaking about the NRA convention. The man was visibly emotional. And I understand the raw emotion and pain behind that question. I think a lot of us would like to know:

Why, Ted Cruz? Not that this is a question you will hear an honest answer whispered back to you. The man was not yet finished: “19 children died!”

They did. And Rafael Cruz had no answers. And then the man spoke his truth: “That’s on your hands! Ted Cruz, that’s on your hands!”

The man said what so many of us are thinking. He was eventually escorted out of the restaurant. I respect this man. He simply asked a question – a question that millions of us would like Rafael and other members of the GOP to answer. We are still waiting for Rafael’s reply. I think that will be a long wait.
