If Ted Cruz is going to trust typos in public info sites, how will he (mis)handle intel as Pres?

[ck4829]

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is the latest presidential candidate trying to downplay the role anti-abortion rhetoric may have played in motivating the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado Springs Friday afternoon. When a reporter asked him at an Iowa campaign stop Sunday evening about suspect Robert Lewis Dear saying he was motivated by “no more baby parts,” Cruz countered that he’s also been reported to be a “transgendered (sic) leftist activist.”

Cruz explained, “We know that he was a man registered to vote as a woman.” This discrepancy on Dear’s voter registration was first reported by The Gateway Pundit, a self-described “right-of-center news website,” under the claim that he “identifies as (a) woman.” Conservatives have since run with the claim that Dear is transgender.

Here's the thing, the Gateway Pundit got that from a public info site, you Google names, you come up with stuff. So I tried this on friends and family, I've seen incorrect information too. Genders swapped, names misspelled, people still living on the other coast (That's got to be a long commute btw), and more.

The fact that Cruz put that much faith in what one of these pages had on them is disturbing, we saw what happened before Iraq, how bad the intelligence was, how much what they had was mishandled. What will Cruz bring us?

1. He knows this. He just doesn't care.

The intent is to smear - both Liberals and the trans community. He knows his idiot fanbase will eat this up without question because he's using two groups they already hate.
