Do you want to know who scares me more than Ted Cruz?

Ted Cruz’s father.  God talks to him.

Ted Cruz’s rapid rise in the world of politics is no surprise to his father Rafael. The freshman senator’s dad, a traveling preacher, says in a new interview that he had once told his son “God has destined you for greatness.”

“I would just say, ‘You know Ted, you have been gifted above any man that I know and God has destined you for greatness,’” he said in an exclusive interview with CBN Chief Political Correspondent David Brody.

Yeah, this is the same Ted Cruz’s father who said that Obama is just like Hitler, which is kinda sassy for a man who fought with Castro and then bribed officials to get out of the country.

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
