Ted Cruz has mentioned invasion and Chuck Norris has given support to Ted Cruz's taking the Government to task. That's support of the invasion conspiracy by association if not in word, no?
I'd need to see Ted Cruz's exact quotes to be able to answer that, but Ted Cruz is his representative in the Senate.
If that map is accurate there are multiple exercises taking place in multiple states. Asking why the military is having such a large exercise is something that should be done. Conspiracy theorists will be there too, as they are anytime government does something big. This is a problem anyone who questions government or other large organizations will face: getting lumped in with the less sane sounding element, and then being discredited because you are on their side of the issue, even if you don't share their paranoia.
Ted Cruz is his senator and he said he is glad he is asking questions. That's not close to invasion by association. That is supporting your senator acting in your interest.
EDIT:
Ted Cruz has mentioned invasion
I had to go find it myself. This is the video that seems to pop up in every article I can find that says he bought into the conspiracy theory.
He understands the concerns, his office has heard about it, and he thinks it is because government has created reasons to cause distrust. They have reached out to the Pentagon, were assured it was a training exercise, and
have no reason to doubt those assurances.
Yep, he's just another crazy nut claiming this is an invasion. Chuck Norris liking him asking questions about military exercises happening close to his own property is also a crazy nut.
Or, the true funny story here is how the online media has twisted the beliefs of a few paranoid people into a narrative into a tale about a US senator (who happens to be running for president) and a large celebrity (who isn't shy about endorsing Republican candidates) are crazy nut jobs who believe the US military intends to invade a part of the US.
