Ted Cruz Threatens to Kill the Ayatollah
WOW!
In front of a crowd of religious voters on Friday morning, Senator Ted Cruz had some pretty extreme things to say about the Iran nuclear deal, namely, he threatened to kill Iran’s leader if he didn’t give up plans for a nuclear program.
“If the ayatollah doesn’t understand that, we may have to help introduce him to the 72 virgins,” Cruz said at the annual Values Voters summit, adding that he would rip the Iran nuclear deal “to shreds” on his first day in office.
The controversial pact reached in July was conceived by the P5+1—the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, Russian and Germany—and the European Union to prevent Iran from securing nuclear weapons while allowing the country to have an exclusively peaceful nuclear program going forward.
Earlier in the speech, Cruz referred to President Obama as “the world’s most powerful communist” and that he should be incarcerated. He also suggested the Democratic debates be held at the Leavenworth prison, which has recently been scouted as a potential transfer point for those detained at Guantanamo.

I'd love to be there to see him off. 
Communist?
People voted for him. Wrap your head around that.
I bet he will do it himself!
