Cruz’s statement was correct. He did NOT blame Trump for last night but did say a candidate is responsible for the general environment of his campaign.
Let’s play a game. Hillary Clinton says that protestors at her rally should be “punched in the face.” She regularly uses inflammatory language concerning enemies and has press people saying that they have been physically assaulted by her campaign. She makes statements like : “If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees.”
Next thing you know, incidents of violence do occur by people whom she has been denigrating and by some she hasn’t. Her rally gets shut down due to safety concerns.
Would it be correct to say her campaign encourages violence while still laying the actual blame at the foot of the protestors who shut down her rally? Yes. It would.
This is what Ted did. Ted was right. TrustTED.
Say what you will. Ted showed he's sympathetic to BLM, radical islam and illegals.
Did Cruz condemn the culture Obama has fostered, in which radical leftist anti-American radicals feel entitled to suppress law abiding citizens’ first amendment rights?
Typical BS double talk, just like Obama. Lip service to blaming the perp, but it's really the victim's fault. The "but" negates the first part. The left has been trying to shut down speech for decades, long before Trump entered politics. If Cruz was a frontrunner they would be doing this to him.
DetesTed!
TrustTed to side with Moveon.org, BLM, communists and deprive hard working Americans their right to free speech.
Pathetic establishment Bushy pawn. He sold out FAST!!!
Turn Coat Teddy is finished.
watch and learn. TrustTed is going to go meet with Mr. hands next week over this.
How does one trust a man who won't even use the name he was born with ?
How does one trust a man who sides with Black Lives Matter ?
TrustTed => BusTed
Ted Cruz showed de facto solidarity with Far Left, BLM/MoveOn (and other) lawbreakers at a moment when the entire field of GOP candidates should have united in forcefully repudiating the criminality of some extremists bent on subverting American democratic process. Kasich acted similarly. Simply espicable.
Cruz hoped to smear Donald Trump by trying to conflate the minor issues they've had as somehow responsible for the pre-planned, organized criminality, violence, and disturbing the peace fomented by left-wing extremists and their ilk.
Politics truly makes for strange bedfellows. Cruz stood against law & order and allied with the thugs.
And that's not just my opinion; that's irrefutably the opinion of many (former) Ted Cruz supporters, as evidenced on FB, FR and many other real and virtual community and news sites all over the country...
