Ted Cruz’s Bizarre Plan For Muslim ‘Patrols’ Just Got Even More Confusing

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Tuesday elaborated on his proposal to empower law enforcement to “patrol” Muslim communities in the U.S. in the wake of the Brussels terror attacks.

“That does not mean targeting Muslims. It means targeting radical Islamic terrorism,” he said in an interview on CNN.

Cruz pointed to a controversial program run by New York City’s police department that spied on New York City mosques and Muslim communities under former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, calling it a “successful” example of Cruz’s intentions for the country if elected president. The GOP presidential hopeful blamed Bloomberg’s successor, Bill de Blasio, for shuttering the program. According to The Associated Press, however, the department “never generated a lead or triggered a terrorism investigation” in the six years that it eavesdropped on conversations. A federal judge dismissed a suit against the city in 2014, ruling that the program did not discriminate against Muslims.

“It’s very simple. It’s doing what law enforcement does in any circumstance,” Cruz added in the interview. “If you have a neighborhood where there is a high level of gang activity, the way you prevent it is you increase the law enforcement presence there and you target the gang members to get them off the street.

But Cruz demurred when questioned several times by CNN host Anderson Cooper as to whether he could name a specific community where he would send such patrols.

3. We need to patrol the Cubanadian neighborhoods

The Cubanadians are going all whacko again with their fear-based anti-American plans to institute XtianFacism,
and to torture people from the Middle East, just as the Romans tortured Middle Easterners 2016 years ago this Very Freaking Week. Talk about anti-christianity, the Republicans really got that thing down.
