'Allows things to happen': Ted Cruz blames God for Texas flood deaths [View all]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) suggested God had allowed more than 80 people to die after historic flooding hit Texas.

During a Monday interview on Real America's Voice, host David Brody asked Cruz why "God doesn't make sense" in light of the flooding deaths.

"Why does God allow bad things to happen to young children?" Cruz opined. "I don't know that I have any additional insight other than saying God is a good and loving God, and He will help us through this."

"And all I know to do is to lean on God, to lean on prayer, to lean on family, to lean on friends, and just grieve," he continued. "We have a good and benevolent God, but God allows things to happen sometimes that defy human explanation, and that's where we need love and where we need grace."
