Sen. Ted Cruz is no stranger to protecting religious liberty, though he’s been on a streak recently, hitting the Department of Defense for religious discrimination and introducing broad legislation protecting religious freedom.

On Monday, the Texas Republican sent a letter to Defense Secretary Mark Esper admonishing the department for apparent religious discrimination. The occasion was the department’s decision to remove retired Lt. Col. Jay Lorenzen as a presenter for the Marine Corps’s annual training, ostensibly because he is religious. There have been numerous cases similar to this in recent years.
