Here is Cruz's statement on Meet the Press.

Well, let's be clear. Listen, the protesters have no right to engage in violence. They have no right to threaten violence. And these protesters, whether it's Black Lives Matter or Bernie Sanders protesters who are coming in just trying to shout down any speaker, that's not free speech. The First Amendment gives you a right to speak, but it doesn't give you a right to silence others. So the protesters are behaving abusively and wrong. But, at the end of the day in any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. And it is not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump telling his supporters, "Punch that guy in the face."

Removing the weasel words, this is what Ted said.

Another words, Trump brought on himself.

LOL

Ted is too cute by half.

Speaking of "not being beneficial" to discouraging violence, how about two well-known conservatives pretending to be "tough guys".  Not to mention Cruz's buddy Glenn Beck saying he would stab Trump many times.
