Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” while discussing the recent protests and violence at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s rallies, Sen. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Trump was “encouraging people to violence” and pointed to an instance where he said to “punch that guy in the face” as his proof.

It seems self-evident.
Code Pink set out to disrupt the Cruz event too, but left defeated and with no excuse to retaliate.
Dude, give it up. It is not the same and you know it. Cruz never had coordinated mobs swarm on him. When these mobs swarm on Cruz, he will fold like a Walmart suit.
Oh I see your are taking Move On, BLM and George Soros position.... A Cruz supporter.... LOL!
It’s called SELF DEFENSE genius........
If Anti-Trump supporters ATTACK WITH VIOLENCE on Trump supporters at a Rally, then they have a right to defend yourself.
I get it you are weak and that’s why you stand with the radical Leftist.
Cruz has become a loathesome little weasel. Well he probably always was but now he’s unmasked. The sooner he gets back to his senate seat the happier I will be.
It does doesn’t it? I wish or I hope or people should, or I’d like to... and I’ll pay your legal fees? Certainly seems like approval, even exhorting people.
Cruz has decloaked and proved he is with the Establishment.
No real conservative would defend LEFTIST ATTACKERS at a Republican Rally.
Its despicable and Cruz is showing his true colors.
Yes and people have noticed. I can’t see Cruz winning anything on Tues.
It’s hard to tell now, but I think it’s going to backfire?
A lot of Cruz supporters have switched to Trump after the Chicago fiasco.
You can see it in the Free Republic Caucus vote too.
Give it up yourself, Dude
My point is there is a reason why Cruz doesn’t get mobbed even though his views are more repugnant to the pinkos.
Are you really this obtuse?
Cruz simply hasn't been targeted as Trump has.
A handful of protesters upset over Cruz's gay-marriage ban and wanting to talk to him about it is not the same as hundreds of BLM and paid rent-a-mob leftists openly disrupting Trump's rallies.
IT IS NOT THE SAME, SO QUIT BEING DISINGENUOUS!
Sheesh
How about: I’d like to see Joe get his ass kicked. I’ll pay legal expenses for people who kick his ass.
Agreed!
Cruz chose to have a private $120+ plate fundraiser among GOPe up in a nice, safe northern suburb.
Had he had the courage to have a free open rally in the city, he would have had protesters.
"One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half."
Sir Winston Churchill........
Obtuse?
Code Pink did not try to ask Cruz questions; they tried to shout him down, because they’re Code Pink. Cruz called their bluff and let them have the microphone. Then, he destroyed them with his intellect. As I recall, the feat was universally hailed on this forum.
Street talk
Hundreds of BLM and other leftist agitators didn't storm the stage as they did with Trump's rally in Chicago before he cancelled. Instead Ted Cruz invited one of them up, and yes, he did nail them to the wall.
Still not the same that Trump has been facing.
If this had happened to Cruz, debating them isn't going to work. They are going to overwhelm him and his SS protection will cancel and get him out of there.
So, your comparison is totally specious.
They did not, because Cruz invited them on stage.
I have never been so mad at a politician as I am at Cruz. H is WORSE then Obama. Worse the Hillary. At least they are transparent in their hatred. Cruz pretends to be a good conservative but WOW blames Trumps for the actions of leftist provocateurs. Hillary and Bernie are proud of Cruz for parroting their talking points.
Because he's no threat. He's ineffective as a senator. He's capitulated to the threats of the GOPe and the left.
