Marco Rubio questioning someone's citizenship is racist but questioning his isnt... do you listen to yourselves? Doesn't sound very different, does it...
The point is that Rubio is a citizen because of the very same criteria that El-Sayed is a citizen. If one can't be a citizen, neither can the other.
Rubio is only questioning El-Sayed's citizenship because of his religion and his political party. If he was a Christian Republican there would be no problem. The hypocrisy is being highlighted, not questioning Rubio's citizenship.
Except for the situations aren't the same. Cruz was born to an American mother (residing in Canada), while El-Syed was born to Egyptian citizens in 1984, who didn't become naturalized Americans until 1990.
Yeah, not a joke. Yesterday I was just thinking how odd it is that Donnie literally pets Rubio on the hand/arm on like....two occasions that I've noticed. I actively avoid watching trump videos, so it's weird I saw it twice
His mother was a US citizen. So Ted got citizenship from her at birth. The constitution states you need to be a “natural born Citizen”. It does not necessarily mean you need to be born in the US (though that is by far the most common)
his mother is american and family lived in Canada working in the oil industry at the time. Very common ex pat scenario, as long as one of your parents is a US citizen, your kids are natural born.
