Delusional, he blamed Trump.
Just listened to the Megyn Kelly interview of Rubio. While he seemed very balanced and laid the blame on organized protesters, she kept trying to have him lay the blame on Trump. What a bitch she is!
I was always told anytime you see “but” in a sentence, forget what came before the “but.” Read Cruz’s statement. You tell me.
I just added the quote - which is factual.
You seem to assume that those 58% WANT jobs, and would take them without being forced to do so.
I’m sick of his face.
Cruz has lost 250,000 Twitter followers since last nigh, over 20% of his followers. He had about 1.2M and is down to 923,500 and dropping. That is stunning.
lol
This is what he said:
“I also want to mention something about the events this evening in Chicago. This is a sad day. Political discourse should occur in this country without a threat of violence without anger and rage and hatred directed at each other. We need to learn to have disagreements without being disagreeable, to have disagreements while being respecting human beings on the other side.
“Earlier today over thirty people were arrested at one rally. And then tonight as violence broke out the rally was canceled altogether. Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands. But in any campaign responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that’s facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord.”
You tell me.

Who gets the blame?
Why don't we try it and find out? When/where is the next one? < /sarc tag needed? >

Someone on FOX last night said the protest was being organized on social media a week before the scheduled event.
I believe the comment was made sometime during Greta's live coverage of the mob scene so it might have been John Roberts who said it but I'm not certain.
Trump:
“What is she doing drawing Muhammad? And it looks like she’s actually taunting people – and it’s disgusting that it happened and everything else. But why are they doing drawing Muhammad? Isn’t there something else they can draw.”
BS, anarchists can not be reasoned with. They have been around forever.
Now IMO Cruz will lose even reelection.
Spin as hard as you want. That is Cruz siding with the rioters. He had a chance to come out and unequivocally condemn the violence and instead he weaseled.
What part of the statement are you interpreting as Cruz siding with the protesters?
Ping!!
