Ted Cruz: Yes, Harvard Law did have Marxists

Catherine Frazier, a spokeswoman for the senator, told a conservative website that the Texas Republican’s 2010 speech was substantively correct.

“It’s curious that the New Yorker would dredge up a three-year-old speech and call it ‘news,’” Frazier told The Blaze.

“Regardless, Senator Cruz’s substantive point was absolutely correct: in the mid-1990s, the Harvard Law School faculty included numerous self-described proponents of ‘critical legal studies’ — a school of thought explicitly derived from Marxism – and they far outnumbered Republicans.”

The New Yorker article came as media reports have discussed what The New York Times called Cruz’s “brash” entrance to the Senate.

All they can do is chip away at his resolve and hope that he doesn’t run for a 2nd term.

You need to read up on Newt’s political history. You see, even though he won re-election they got him to RESIGN!

When the RINO’s and the communist democrats get together there is nothing they cannot do.

You’re just saying how immature you are. I am a Romney supporter (of note) who is 100% behind Ted Cruz, despite the disrespect Cruz showed for Romney after the election. You have the mentality of a child. Unfortunately, you are not alone.

Marxist theory hasn’t actually *done* anything to anyone. It can not. It is an idea.

Perhaps the theory hasn’t, but Marxists practicing the theory certainly have. Its a bad idea.

When you attack the GOP nominee, as you did, you are doing the work of the Democrats.

Last April I predicted that Romney would LOSE if more people, especially the Romney supporters did not get involved.

Did you get involved? NO! Did Romney lose, YES!

The Republican Party thanks you for NOT A THING today. /smug

If that’s the case then racism hasn’t actually “done” anything to anyone. It’s just an idea.
