Cruz: Trump Is ‘Encouraging People to Violence’ by Telling Supporters ‘Punch That Guy in the Face’
Breitbart ^ | 03/13/16 | Pam Key

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.

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!

Exactly.

Hmmm...Where have I heard your same “arguments” against Cruz? Only hundreds of times; I guess it’s easier than thinking.
Keep reassuring yourself, and I’ll continue to support the only conservative still in the race.

Your only "conservative" just showed us that his conservatism is only as deep as his ambition. When the true test came to condemn and denounce leftist groups and their tactics he chose to side with leftists over free speech.

Trump espouses conservative values AND will fight for them and win. Cruz rolls over first chance he gets and is otherwise ineffective in bringing about real change.

The level of hate and fear that Trump is stirring up is toxic and it scares me to death - we are witnessing the rise of an American fascism.

Boo!   Did that stop your heart?

What should scare you to death is the raging radical protesters bent on the total destruction of our nation and Western Civilization feeling empowered to disrupt a Trump Rally because they know that scared little fools will kowtow to them.

I have had enough of spineless individuals cowering in fear of offending the Communist agitators, while the media of all stripes, and even so called Conservative politicians, protect these professional criminal activists from the consequences of their aberrant acts.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Why aren't you?

Satisfied with the status quo? Did you already stake your claim on the catbird seat in the coming NWO?

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

If violence and incitement really worried Cruz then why not repudiate and denounce his boy nutty Glenn Beck who wants to repeatedly stab Trump?

"Trump hasn’t indicated that he wants to beat people up."

I think "knock the crap outta them", and "beat the hell out of them" count. He's already on record as saying that.

"If I'm not mistaken, and I may be...."

You are. He said that about a peaceful, though noisy, protester.

"instinctive reaction" such as fight or flight?

I had more in mind political responses. Trump seems more inclined to want government solutions than individual freedoms.

"You been a mindless Cruz fan girl for months"

Actually, I've been a thoughtful Cruz Texan for years, since I first heard him running for Senate. He certainly supports us a whole lot more than the wusses you elect in Minnesota (a state I left half a century ago). If you want to meet some real men, com'on down (but don't stay).

If someone punched you, would you throw your arms around him/her and give it a big smooch on the cheek?

Actually, I went back and looked up the reference.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L0K8Xdrv58

It seems he made the statement in the context that if they attempt to throw something (Tomatoes I believe). I h ave no problem with that statement in that context.

There may be another reference, but I haven’t been able to find it as of yet.

That comment was made when he was advised by SS they they had information of people at the tally with tomatoes to throw at him.

Besides you don’t have a right to protest inside a politcal rally.

What a track record you have here at FR. Been a member since 10-2001 and you have a whopping 4 page history of comments.

And why is this a problem? Does my opinion mean less because I don't post as often as others?
