Cruz, his ethics, have no place in U.S. Senate

Re: Sept. 9 article, “PolitiFact: How Cruz’s ad distorts what O’Rourke said about protests.”

PolitiFact recently rated as “False” a claim by Ted Cruz that Beto O’Rourke is grateful that people are burning or desecrating the American flag.

Actually, O’Rourke gave a very thoughtful answer to a question asking about his position on flag desecration. As PolitiFact points out: “O’Rourke didn’t even address flag burning in his answer, instead focusing on his support of protests for civil rights and other causes.”

Let’s forget about political philosophy for a moment and focus on personal integrity. Time and again, PolitiFact has rated Cruz’s statements as “False.” To say that Cruz is ethically challenged would be something of an understatement. His penchant for hyperbole and downright untruthfulness is appalling, and his presence in the United States Senate is a stain on our political system.

He is unworthy of the position of United States senator and should be voted out of office this November.
