Ted Cruz Blasted By Supporters For Praising Nelson Mandela

Texas Senator Ted Cruz posted his praise of Nelson Mandela, but his Facebook friends took him to task for it.

Cruz issued a solemn statement to mark Mandela’s passing on Thursday, but his diehard fans responded with vitriol, posting slurs describing the South African leader as a “terrorist, communist, scumbag and murderer,” in comments on Cruz’s Facebook page.

The outspoken Tea Partier had issued a statement about the former President’s death at age 95, saying the anti-apartheid leader would “live in history as an inspiration for defenders of liberty.”
