BERLIN, N.H. -- The Republican primary's scramble to the right has led to pointed criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement, and of the Obama administration's approach to police reform. After Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) criticized the president for "vilifying" law enforcement, other candidates found reasons to blame Democrats for an atmosphere where protesters could chant threats to police.
"In the last six years under President Obama, we've seen a rise in anti-police rhetoric," wrote Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) in an op-ed this week. "Instead of hope and change, we've seen racial tensions worsen and a tendency to use law enforcement as a scapegoat. This kind of attitude has created a culture in which we all too often see demonstrations and chants where people describe police as 'pigs' and call for them to be 'fried like bacon.'"

No surprises there.
They were dead to me anyway. This is a time calling for leadership.
“They were dead to me anyway. This is a time calling for leadership.”
That is the way I see it.
Of course they won’t.
They fear being labeled as racists.
Bwave Wepubwikins.
3%?
How about this cowards...
“Anyone who tries to divide black Americans from other Americans does not deserve our support”
C'mon Republicans, cave damnit cave!
What ? The big fat bully form Jersey is scared of offending someone. It’s telling who he is afraid to go after.
LOL totally agree.
Christie the Hutt was a mafia-endorsed lib POS!
Kasich has always been RINO.
Need to weed out Paul, Fiorina, Rubio, and Bush while we’re at it also.
Two Chickenshit RINOS posing as “concerned conservative politicians”.
Christie was never a conservative and when I look at the crime rates in NJ, he is not a successful leader either.
Kasich, who one had some balls and guts, is now a self-promoting hack eunuch politician. In the future, his political self-destruction will go down as an example of how shallow and hollow some people are.
Gutless wonders. Christie has had no problem criticizing the TEA party, now has he.
Beta males.....low energy....low testosterone.
Cowards. Innocent people are getting murdered and assaulted over this, with impunity. We are sitting on a powderkeg of racial animus and politicians don’t have the luxury of avoidance.
Unless they want blood in the streets even far worse than it is.
Well, maybe that is what it takes to be president. The current one seems to be encouraging it
Christie cried like a girl when he faced his first gubernatorial crisis. Plus he slobbered all over Obama on national TV.
Kasich. Meh....
These two are gutless. We need leaders.
Has anyone done a survey of blacks to determine what percent support “Black Lives Matter”? I’d wager that a very large percentage of blacks don’t.
