Supporters of Sens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) took to social media to slam the freshman senators for blaming leftists shutting down a Trump Chicago rally on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
"I think a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment, when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence — to punch people in the face. The predictable consequence of that is that it escalates and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We earlier today in St. Louis over thirty arrested. That’s not how our politics should occur,” Cruz said Friday. “You know, the City of Chicago in 1968 saw some ugly days when politics descended into hatred and incivility and even violence and it is my hope that in 2016 that we can appeal to our better angels and avoid going down that road once again

For shame.
They really stepped in it by blaming Trump for the leftists’ violence.
Disgusting. If he were elected president, we would see an erosion of freedom of speech.
Crubiosich blew any chance they had of stopping Trump when they sided with the Alinsky mob.
Beck et al. are totally to blame:
When you call a public figure ‘Hitler’ you incite violence against that person.
A dumbed-down population is sure to confuse matters of cause and effect.
Ted’s on Hannity now lying about Trump and the Iran deal and lord knows what else. I changed the channel.
Yeah. It all happened in a vacuum.
I thought only Demonorats blamed the victims and exonerated the perps?
Likely true.
In an election season marked by one dumb move after another, this one was probably the dumbest.
Et tu, Ted?
WAKE THE FROCK UP ! These are Republican primary rallies. Democrats have no business even being there. What do you think the general election rallies will be like now ? After this behavior Republican leadership does not even deserve a political party.
and tonight o Hannity he said Trump will make a deal with Harry Reid on the SCOTUS selections.......WOW what a lie.
They’re awake. But they’re drunk with power and taxpayer money. And they like it that way.
“this one was probably the dumbest.”
This was a bridge to far for me... I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to like Cruz again.. which really sux..
Most of the stuff so far has been politics.. but siding with that crowd.. for points... ugh..
Rubio / Kasich no surprise.. Cruz? this hurts...
Here we are, bottom of the ninth....game tied....bases loaded.
Ted Cruz is up to bat.
Here’s the pitch! It’s an underhand lob right down the middle! A four year old could knock it out of the park!
And Cruz!......falls down?
Now he’s saying the umpire pushed him?
Now he’s blaming the popcorn guy.
Damn shame.
Boy the voters in Wyoming sure did slam Cruz. Probably kept him from winning 70 or 80% of the vote.
With social media you trump supporters and liberals joining together to slam Cruz. I know I’ve stirred the pot by prodding Bernie supporters against Hillary. It’s fun.
I looked at the posting history of 10 “I used to support Cruz” folks last night and found that 8 of ten were just plain lying and then other two never posted support for any candidate.
