After denouncing evolution and gay rights as Marxist lies, Rafael Cruz told a Texas Christian men’s group in June that Satan controls the US government. While quoting Second Great Awakening evangelist Charles Grandison Finney, he said that the US has fallen into a state of moral decline.
“‘If the world loses its interest in religion,’ does that sound like today?” Cruz said, “‘If Satan rules in the hall of legislation,’ man this sounds like he’s talking about right now.’”
