Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz wants the Department of Justice to investigate Saturday's attack that killed one woman in Charlottesville, Va. as an incident of domestic terrorism.
In a statement released Saturday night, Cruz called the incident "tragic and heartbreaking" and said the Justice Department must be involved immediately.
"The Nazis, the KKK, and white supremacists are repulsive and evil, and all of us have a moral obligation to speak out against the lies, bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred that they propagate," Cruz said in a statement.
"Having watched the horrifying video of the car deliberately crashing into a crowd of protesters, I urge the Department of Justice to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act domestic terrorism."

Even murder is not obvious; I want to know what he has to say. Did he intend to ram those people, or did he panic when Antifa terrorists surrounded his car and started throwing rocks at it? This may just be manslaughter. I'm waiting for more information.
Doesn't that apply the same to justify the injuries of those attacked by this driver?
Let's get consistent, Teddy.
Talk about jumping the gun. Howabout let law enforcement and the Prosecutors office do their thing before jumping on that band wagon. Sheesh! Cruz is acting like a leftist now. Frankly I expect better from him.
Exactly
Nobody should be surprisred about this. It comes from a man who truly attempted to foster the election of Hillary Clinton to the office of the Presidency.
This is some Uniparty Elite Hegelian “conflict” scenario, agitprop. Another staged event to keep the hoi polloi divided against one another.
Wake up. Cruz knowingly tried to get elected when he knew damn well his election would cause a Constitutional crisis, if not meltdown.
What kind of man says “vote your conscience” at the GOP convention and then has the Democratic candidate retweet it?
Well said.
Charlottesville's police chief predicted exactly what would happen if the organizers insisted on rallying at the statue.

"Having the demonstration at McIntire Park is safer because the park is large enough to accommodate the size of the anticipated crowd. It also avoids a situation by which overflow crowds spill into the streets as would likely occur at Emancipation Park," said Thomas.
What’s your point, Ted? It’s a homicide. Good vs evil
I BLAME all sides in this.
American taxpayer was the bankroll for globalization, they are not happy
“But on the other hand, any similar act committed by a Moslem, we are implored not to jump to conclusions about the nature of the attack, the motivations of the perpetrator, etc.”
You are exactly right! My thoughts as well.
But , no the sleazy DC lawyer had to jump on the left wing media bandwagon and ledt wing mob . Opportunist and Sleazy lawyer .
the Repubs are tripping over themselves to appease BLM , Antifa , and Soros

They sure are. More than the RATS. At the first opportunity (and every one after that), their inner scumbag politician emerges and they try to score points.
But... yeah, okay. Give it to the Department of Justice. Sessions doesn’t seem to be doing anything else useful, that’s for sure.
If the guy in the car was a known antifa guy, wouldn’t you put it under the category of domestic terrorism?
It’s a valid point to investigate. As a group, I put antifa in the terrorist camp.
Looks like Cruz and Rubio have jumped the shark in favor of watering down the term so it loses any relevant meaning. So quick to go after “our own” because some Leftists call him “one of our own”.....
Sessions can’t find his ass.
Irrational ?
The skeaze ball shot off his opportunist trap before a police report was completed and all the facts are known to get a headline .
This sleazy Goldman Sachs puppet/ opportunist lawyer should shut up but he wanted a headline .
He added more fuel to the fire .
