And Playing The Role Of A Presidential Candidate Eating His Own Words Is Senator Ted CruzWell, just when you thought that Ted Cruzs family tree didnt fork, you find out about branches growing which every way.
On Ted Cruzs Canadian birth certificate, his mother is listed as Eleanor Darragh Wilson, using the last name of her first husband, Alan Wilson. The Fort Worth native and long-time resident of London, Wilson is now an unwitting player in the drama that surrounds Cruzs family.
Wilson, who has never previously spoken about his past with the news media, told McClatchy in a telephone interview from London that he did not realize he was connected to the U.S. Texas senator, however indirect. He didnt realize that his first wife, Eleanor, whose maiden name is Darragh, had such a well-known son, whose citizenship is at issue in the presidential campaign, or that Wilson is on the birth certificate.
I gotta say it. I just gotta: Hey, Ted, whos your daddy?
More family secrets spill forth. It turns out Teds mom wasnt real clear about who she was married to when she had babies.

"Order" a DNA test? Under what authority?

Alan Wilson divorced Cruz's mother 7 years before Ted was born, and had so little contact with her he never saw her baby she had 2 or 3 years later, let alone knew she got married to the lunatic Cruz Senior. So this story is really "ooh, Cruz's mother had sex with more than one man before she married Rafael Cruz". Yeah, Cruz is a judgmental arsehole, but that doesn't mean the correct thing to do is join him in it.
