WATCH: Ted Cruz storms offstage after getting booed by Christian group he insulted

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was booed offstage Wednesday night by a crowd of Middle Eastern Christians after he told the crowd they had “no greater ally than Israel.”

The Tea Party conservative was the keynote speaker at a sold-out gala for the recently founded In Defense of Christians, a Washington-based nonprofit that highlights persecution of Christians in the Middle East.

The Daily Caller reported that Cruz was not reading from notes or a teleprompter when he upset the crowd.

“Tonight, we are all united in defense of Christians,” Cruz said. “Tonight, we are all united in defense of Jews. Tonight, we are all united in defense of people of good faith, who are standing together against those who would persecute and murder those who dare disagree with their religious teachings.”

Cruz Tip: If you see Cruz's lips moving, he's lying.

Clip starts with someone else already trying to quell a heckler.

Cruz smarmily tries to insult the heckler by saying that some here, not all, but some...

Heckler says most of us or says both of us.

Cruz continues ... Are so consumed with hate...

Here a larger segment of audience groans at Cruz attack on heckler who seems to have a point and is not alone. I think they're re ally unhappy at the hyperbole of hate. They disagree. It's not hatred.

Cruz next words are indiscernible.

It's hard to say what led to this problem for Cruz without seeing what precipitated having the other guy come on stage next to cruise.
