Here’s what he said, it’s him speaking, so don’t lecture me on what he did and didn’t say. Listen again. It’s despicable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmxBp4IFe_I
The only thing despicable going on is the willful deception over what he said.
At no time did he support the Communists rioting and "protesting".
However, it speaks volumes to me when alleged "conservatives" go completely Rabid over Cruz's remarks and practically ignore the rioting itself.
That tells me you are more interested in eliminating Cruz than even protesting about the protests.
Now, that's despicable.
If you eliminate Cruz, you will still have oodles of real Leftists to face, and they won't be concerned with how your boy phrases his stuff. They will loot, burn, and raise unholy hell. Maybe you need to remember who the real enemy is.
But go ahead and turn your verbal claymores around so you can read the writing on the front.
