"The responsibility for that lies with protesters, who took violence into their own hands. But in any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of a campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord," Cruz said

The wrong tone is for Trump to say I’ll pay your legal fees if you punch someone out at a rally.
It’s not true. Americans need only to stand up. Stop bowing to these communist clowns. Now it’s not the time for cowardice. The seal is broken. Fight now! The media is exposed.
There were too many thugs inside the building. It would have been a huge riot had the rally started. The intent was to get violent while Trump was on stage.
It's the wrong tone.
Donald Trump is being targeted because he is the republican front runner. There were Bernie Sanders signs on those streets, there were pro-open border signs on those streets, there were Mexican flags on those streets, there were moveon tee shirts on those streets and there were republicans are racists slogans on those streets, there was violence in those streets.
If Ted Cruz were the front runner, the same groups would have been there doing the same thing. If Ben Carson were the front runner, the same groups would have been there doing the same thing.
I suppose Ted Cruz now believes that Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are to blame for the 2011 Arizona shooting?
Ted Cruz lost my support tonight.
Thanks...........
Soros pulling his puppets’ strings again.
And look who is ‘standing with him’ by blaming Trump.
Pitiful.
The willful blindness is outrageous.
Moveon, black lives matter, communists, anarchists are bullies. They routinely storm and take over events as candidates and speakers run for cover. Trump stands up to leftist bullies.
Protesters at Trump rallies have also in the past went swinging into the crowd. Trump has definitely ok’d people defending themselves.
Imagine somebody jumping into a crowd of your supporters swinging and screaming. Would you be ok with your supporters defending themselves and putting the situation down? I would.
Once again many are allowing the media and PC candidates set the narrative.
These protesters damage property, engage in disorderly conduct, and threaten the safety and security of the event. This isn’t new with Trump. I saw it with Bush too. When this occurs, you should be allowed to take care of the problem.
Oh, please.
Which means the mob on the Left or the mob on the Trump will seek your head if you do not genuflect to their messiah.
I never though I'd see the day.
You don’t have an argument
Much like dear leader.
You should think about posting over at Right Scoop and sparing us your self-righteous trash.
Welcome.
Lol. No it’s the truth. My wife loves Cruz after Rubio went down doesn’t like Trump but tonight she is torn after watching all these protesters with Cruz blaming Trump. Maybe my wife will eventually get on the Trump wagon. But events like these do influence people differently.
Did I once every give the impression that I am a drug addicted crazy. I am currently a model student of the Helms School of Government at Liberty University, I have never, not will ever smoke or do drugs. As to my date of joinging FreeRepublic, I thought this was a sure where if one posted resoned arguments, it did not matter when you joined. Some of us may not have the benefit of being involved since it’s founding like you most illustrious sir, but are willing to listen to opposing views.
I try to look on the bright side ... and see the bone scorching brilliant white streak of lightning in every cloud! ;^)
I’m sure his rallies are great. I’ve wanted to go to one for a long time. When he was in my town I was in the hospital with my daughter and newly born grandson.
The absolute hatred of anyone who disagrees with trump here on this site proves to me that he’s pushing the wrong buttons and stoking the rage.
No.
Cruz looks presidential
Trump looks like a union boss.
Oh I think he can and did. This is the best thing to ever happen to trump. It would have been a nice speech but now trump gets the next 48 hours of coverage and America gets to debate the first amendment. Trump wins again!
