Opportunist Ted Cruz: “Donald Trump is Responsible” For Organized Chicago Violence (video)…

Conservative Treehouse ^ | Mar 11 2016 | Conservative Treehouse

[Paradox]

While I have said that I will support Trump if he gets the nomination, I have been favoring Ted since the beginning, but THIS is highly disappointing. I don’t like this at all.

[Rusty0604]

I voted for Cruz and support his positions, but siding with the protesters is just too much. He wants to win, but this was a bad move on his part.

[truth_seeker]

This guy had a chance to stand with Trump and ask for the other two candidates to do likewise, with a position of solidarity against those who would disrupt our freedom to assemble, discuss our ideas peacefully.

Instead he caves to the mobs. Plain and simple he is a political opportunist.

In 1968 and again in 1972 America answered with votes for Nixon who ran on Law & Order against those who would disrupt our political system.

The rioters are trying to initiate anarchy.

Cruz is a big letdown. I know he thinks he is the smartest guy in any room, but he is young, brash, too sure of himself, and frankly his judgment has shown itself wanting several times.

[GLDNGUN]

DisgusTED

[Rashputin]

The GOPe and Soros crowd are working hand in hand to attack Trump.

Tonight Cruz gave both groups the green light so they know he's not going stand in their way or reject any tactic they use. Why anyone expected anything else from Cruz who has been nurtured by the Bush camp is beyond me.

Cruz figures our First Amendment rights end when the PC crowd decides they don't like the "tone" of your comments but Cruzbots claim he'd be a fine USSC Justice of not President.

[TBP]

He did not say that. What he did in fact say was that the responsibility rests with the protesters.

[jurtal]

Misleading headline. Cruz didn't say Trump was responsible for the violence. He said Trump was responsible for creating a negative atmosphere. Exact quote:

"Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the 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 kind of nasty discord."

[magna carta]

Well hell, I guess Soros wants to have rallies too.
I think Trump ought to fly his jet over to Amsterdam and pick up Geert Wilders bring him back for a rally in the Big Apple.

[Agnes Heep]

Nonsense. He's absolutely right. Trump is a nasty piece of work who encourages this sort of thing; his appeal is to the mob mentality, as we can well see by the numbers of conservatives who have abandoned their principles to become members of that mob.

I thought I'd seen everything when homosexual marriage became the norm, but if you had told me even two years ago that my fellow conservatives would have lost their minds and become card-carrying leftists in the space of a few short months, I would have laughed myself to death.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

yep but if it gets him the nomination Cruz go with them(the enemy)he just made that perfectly clear

[The Toll]

You are the one who is siding with BLM tonight my FRiend. Who is it that’s lost their mind? I think you have just lost your nerve now that the fight us upon you.

[over3Owithabrain]

Says the guy defending Communist protests

[over3Owithabrain]

So moron, why are Leftists protesting Trump is he’s a leftist, you dummy

[Lib-Lickers 2]

but they would have had that same orchestrated protest against Cruz if he had been in first place and had his rally there.. don’t you get it?,, what would Cruz have said then it was his fault for creating the negative atmosphere with his hateful immigration and Muslim policies?,, yeah right

[Luircin]

She must have come to get to know what a weasel he is.

Don’t insult weasels.

At least weasels are cute.

"Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the 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 kind of nasty discord."

Yep, that's Cruz's exact quote.

And it's horrendous.

This was an organized left-wing disruption of a Peacable Assembly, and Ted Cruz expressed solidarity with members of an organized conspiracy to infringe upon it; a staged, mass attack from Far-Left disruptors of Law & Order.

There's no excuse. Cruz will be lucky if they don't target him next. Or maybe the far Left doesn't consider Cruz a threat...

[Mr Apple]

I was switching channels around and saw on msnbc that Cruz was on air with the queer lesbian Rachel Maddow program and that in and of itself surprised me. Why would a conservative get anywhere near an aids carrying lesbian. Cruz mumbled along but then he started his lying crap about Trump. Now, upon seeing Cruz backstabbing Trump, in my eyes this Cruz bast*rd is welcome to s**** ***.

And in regards to lesbian Maddow's program itself, they were continuously looping segments of the protesters and one segment showed a protester on the stage and at the podium. Then the camera focused in closely on the podium where two security men where trying to restrain a shahultee, but he was resisting. The camera kept rolling until this guy was finally pulled off the stage. All the while, lesbian Maddows was disparaging Mr Trump.

[chalkfarmer]

At least once a day, I understand why I hate Ted Cruz.

[rwoodward]

FUTed!!

[A CA Guy]

You are off your rocker on that because the left is showing you who they fear most to destroy Hillary and Democrats.

Ted, Jeb, Rubio, Mitt and others can’t.

The left always do their protests and setup stuff against winners, not losers.
