Supporters of Sens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) took to social media to slam the freshman senators for blaming leftists shutting down a Trump Chicago rally on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
“I think a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment, when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence — to punch people in the face. The predictable consequence of that is that it escalates and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We earlier today in St. Louis over thirty arrested. That’s not how our politics should occur,” Cruz said Friday. “You know, the City of Chicago in 1968 saw some ugly days when politics descended into hatred and incivility and even violence and it is my hope that in 2016 that we can appeal to our better angels and avoid going down that road once again.”
Cruz supporters, incensed by the Texas senator’s blame game, stormed social media to express their anger. Top comments on a Friday Facebook post promoting a Cruz “victory fund” drew furious responses (comments quoted here are unedited):
Jerry Shalow: Cruz you lost my vote for using this protest for your political game. Rubio also. Trump has my vote. How about the violations of the 1st amendment TED!!!!!!! Condone the violence what you just did.
Pappy Beagles: I’m a Texan, I voted for you for the senate, and was supporting you for president, up until you blamed Trump for the savage behavior of Hillary and Bernie supporters in Chicago. I just sent a $100.00 contribution to a billionaire, and i’m retired on a fixed income, so guess this is goodbye to you, and I am now firmly on the Trump wagon.
Gayle Natale: Mr. Cruz, I just listened to your response regarding the protestors who caused

Some represented Bernie, our communist friend,” Trump told his supporters during his morning campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday, recalling the protesters the night before in Chicago. “Bernie should tell his people… he should really get up and say to his people, ‘Stop, stop.’”
Great Stuff...Unlike Teddy
It’s as tho Ted CRuz and the rest of the GOPE thought we were going to hear “it’s Trumps fault!” and then believe it. The days of us going along with whatever the Establishment tells us are over. We are awake now. We think for ourselves now!
Trump’s been bringing up Ayers presence in Chicago at the rallys today.
Republicans are joining ranks with those thugs. Supposed Journalists and former anti-establishment Conservatives are talking like Obama the community agitator.
The political whores are letting their slips show.
As they should!
Just wait until Tuesday...
Shut down CAIR, Soroz, cpusa, sharpton, Obama, and ... Harvard?
Oh boy!
Now the Cruz supporters that are left can pat themselves on the back for being THE smartest, most conservative voters, without all the riff-raff and wannabes!
Yep, retarded GOPee Talk.
If you happen to please give him my warmest regards.
Repeatedly and as hard as you can.
Thanks. Good hunting.

Politicans are no different than the entitlement class. Both make their gains off the backs of the productive.
Trump supporters...by a large margin would have come to the side of Cruz or Rubio if this had been reversed. Shows what kind of support Trump has vs Cruz and Rubio.

Agreed! Rush Limbaugh also needs to understand this! I don’t think he does! Hid Friday Show was an abject disgrace!
Neither Cruz nor Rubio care about the concerns of average, hard-working, law-abiding Americans who are completely getting gang-raped by their own government.
There were COMMUNIST flags at this rally..COMMUNIST freakin flags in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and Palestinian flags, and Mexican flags flying in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, reminds me of what went on in Ferguson and Baltimore, same liberal Communist BS..we are losing our country, losing it every single day..and I wonder, what will happen when these vermin come to CRUZ and RUBIO rallies, what will their response be..because any black lives matter person can show up at a Cruz event, get kicked out, and say that he was called the N word, would be that simple
Another question, how the heck is Bill Ayers still able to walk the streets of America, he is a TERRORIST, he should be in prison, or if I were President, he would be dead, Id love to personally give him the needle
Ted Cruz lost 300k twitter follows, from 1.2 million to 900k. IS this true? I myself un-followed him and then read that others have done the same, but the number was kinda surprising
This will not go well for Cruz, Kasich and Rubio.
Folk please stop and see this. Cruz and Rubio are now bought and paid for by the Bush Romney GOPe.
This is obvious. Think about Rubio’s money problems and where will their political futures be if they don’t throw in with the establishment.
I just unsubscribed to him. He lost a lot of followers.
