Voters Slam Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio for Blaming Chicago Rally Shutdown on Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | 3/12/16 | KATIE MCHUGH

Posted on 03/12/2016 11:39:16 AM PST by jimbo123

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

Quote of the Day:
It’s over tonight for the other candidates, they left a man on the field of battle. Instead of denouncing this vicious attack by the left, they blamed Trump. These speeches tonight will come back to haunt them in the worst way possible. They just gave Hillary the roadmap to defeat them, simply protest their rallies, and make them take responsibility for it, like they just asked Trump to do tonight.

I was a very big Cruz fan once he came to the Senate. For a long time I hoped he would run for President.

That time has come, and now I find myself wondering if I even like him as a person anymore, let alone a politician.

Rubio. He’s a turd and always has been so nothing to really shock me there.

Don’t blame those poor Cuban/Canadian/Canadien wannabes. They were only following the instructions from their GOPe masters. C’mon give ‘em a break.

No more Harvard Law grads for POTUS, Congress, or anything except of the Justice Dept. Outhouse Regulation Division that takes care of RICO violations of the Porta Pottie Act.

That's been my policy ever since the Clinton Thugocracy came to power.

Any nation that routinely elects lawyers to govern them is a nation of blind masochists.

He has been in on this for a long time...

smart, self groomed, credentialed by Harvard & Princeton, just like the rest of the Establishment elite, cunning enough to hop from the liberal track onto the back of the TEA Party and ride that baby to increasing power and position.

He said all the right things with a background full of all the wrong connections.

A climber gotta climb. Go figure.

Between last night's Chicago incident and this morning's attack, I imagine that the big-time, daily talk show hosts are going bananas. By the time their shows come up on Monday, everything that can be said will have been said. The weekend guys (Joe Pags, Bill Cunningham, etc.) are going to get first crack at all this.

AMEN! Ted used his real name at Harvard...RAFAEL, when he headed up the Latino Law Review.

Ted Cruz helped form Bush’s immigration policy. Remember “vigilante’s” and “Family values don’t stop at the border”...remember how deportation went way down and Visas went WAY UP? REMEMBER AMNESTY?????

THAT should be all any one needs to know to reject this Nixon wannabe.

Elections for dummies....Never vote for a Lawyer!

Doesn't anybody remember that it all began with "Black Lives Matter" protesters at a Bernie Sanders rally when Sanders let the protesters take over his stage and microphone? Trump said that was a lack of leadership and he would never let protesters take over his microphone.

That was taken as a challenge by the protesters to ramp up their agression at Trump rallies.

But it was originally a weakness of Sanders that started it all. Now they find it convenient to blame Trump for it.

Apparently Cruz thinks Trump supporters and his own supporters are stupid enough to fall for his lies...

That picture speaks a 1000 words.

And Cruz supported those thugs who disrupted a private paid for event.

SOROS = HILLARY = HILLARY SUPPORTERS = Trump
