Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” while discussing the recent protests and violence at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s rallies, Sen. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Trump was “encouraging people to violence” and pointed to an instance where he said to “punch that guy in the face” as his proof.

I have lost so much respect for Ted Cruz taking radical left side.
Cruz sides with Terrorist like Bill Ayers over his own party.
Despicable and desperate.
After this I will NEVER vote for Cruz. He has officially jumped the shark.
How is it possible to dispute that telling his followers to punch people in the face does not incite violence?
So glad to see Cruz talking about the issues!
(/s for those who need it)
In one week’s time he imploded his campaign for president.
Cruz is a jerk for joining in with left against free speech.
Cruz sides with leftist and the violent Chicago thugs.
Trump did justify the sucker-punch. Did he not?
Trump is advocating self defense (if they have a tomato, ...).
And folks want to hear a leader who is willing to advocate self defense.
Which we need, against terrorists, border jumpers, looters, etc.
There are so many weak and spineless.. they don’t know how to fight. They should have lived through WWII or something.. to get some grit in their heads. They have had it too easy.. to comfortable.. thousands died so they could live in freedom and ease... Now they are willing to throw it all away because they get faint at the sight of a fight.. at the sight of blood.
Where did these weaklings come from .. yea, I know.. and how does one turn it around..
Cruz has turned into the worst of the candidates.. he’s going for the jugular and he isn’t stopping.. all for his power grab.. my like for him as turned to anger and I see who he is and what he is.. it’s not pretty either.
‘that guy’ was there to make trouble and he found it. He was the instigator not Trump.
Individual responsibility is supposed to be a conservative value, and Trump’s statement isn’t equivalent to yelling ‘FIRE!’ in a crowded movie theatre.
Cruz should suspend his campaign.
One can often gain insight into a person’s true beliefs by observing their instinctive reaction to an abrupt situation. It seems to me that Trump’s instinctive reaction to being disturbed is “beat the hell out of them”. Now, I have no doubt that Trump will quell this reaction for the next few weeks, but I strongly believe that Cruz is absolutely right on this one.
Let me break into your home and start screaming obscenities.
What would be your response?
Trump was calling for self defence. When those protestors come disrupting and causing violence and hitting people, he like to punch them in the face
You don't actually believe what you wrote, unless you've gone full leftard. The BLM and the left in general have been extremely violent long before Trump ever came around. To say otherwise is insanely dishonest and disgusting.
How can Trump be president material when encouraging people to punch each other? I know the Trump fanboys will spin it but....
