[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't one of the people walking out on Cruz the Lebanese diplomat to the US?  I also read that Cruz was aware of an article that came out saying the gathering was affiliated with Hezbollah and was wanting to expose the anti-Semitic attitudes. [/quote]

Hizballah is a radical Shia Islamic organization. Conservative Christians have no affiliation with them. To the contrary, Hizballah and the Lebanese Christians have often fought with each other.

That doesn't mean that Cruz didn't see an article saying such a thing. As we know well, a lot of garbage floats in the rightwing echo chamber.

I don't believe that's where the original statements about Hezbollah originated.

Why did the diplomat walk out then?[/quote]

I don't know why the diplomat walked out. But, I'm sure it had nothing to do with Hizballah. Are you suggesting that the article just came out in the middle of the conference and the diplomat read it while sitting there and suddenly decided to leave? Much more likely, he was walking out an indication of his feelings for what Cruz was saying. Lebanon has been repeatedly bombed by Israel with a huge amount of destruction resulting. The diplomat probably had little patience for hearing about how he should support that country.
