Now that Ted Cruz is the first official presidential candidate for 2016, I am waiting to hear from all those who protested President Obama’s election because they were convinced he wasn’t born in the U.S.
We now have a candidate who clearly was born in another country, Canada, but there doesn’t seem to be any protest from the far right about his candidacy.
Cruz’s mother is a natural born citizen while his father was born in Cuba. President Obama’s mother was a natural born citizen and his father was from Kenya. And the difference is Obama was actually born in Hawaii.
So, birthers, now you have a legitimate protest, so let’s hear it.
