Ted Cruz is CanadianInteresting, Ted Cruz is a real hispanic and Beta just pretending to be one.His given name is Robert Patrick. He used the Beto name as a supposed endearment for names in Spanish ending in -erto. According to a Spanish linguist, he’s never heard the name used by Hispanics in more than 60 years. My Mexican hife, however, says it’s common in her home country.
The media is even being fooled by the fake Hispanic name:
David Martosko tweeted out a quote from the Associated Press claiming that “Mr. O’Rourke also spoke at length in his native Spanish.”
His largely Hispanic audiences seem to believe him with loud shouts of “Ole!” at his meetings.
Details @ IS THIS WHY BETO O'ROURKE Uses "Beto" and Not Robert...The Press Even Falls For It!

Ted Cruz roasted him on Twitter over the "native" thing and asked, "what, he was speaking in Gaelic?"
I thought that was pretty good actually
You mean Rafael is complaining about someone going by another name?
Beto was born in the USA
