The U.S. Capitol Police have offered to provide additional security protection for Texas Senator Ted Cruz following angry confrontations on the floor of the GOP convention in Cleveland, a law enforcement source tells DailyMail.com. The offer of extra protection came hours after Cruz left the Quicken Loans Arena Wednesday night being subjected to taunts and boos after he refused to endorse Donald Trump and instead urged Americans to vote their 'conscience.' His wife, Heidi Cruz, had to be hustled out of the arena by a Cruz supporter fearful for her security. Cruz addressed Texas delegates Thursday morning and got furious blowback from Trump supporters and even some of his own backers, as they yelled out at him and demanded answers for why he wouldn't endorse Trump outright. When he appeared, Cruz was flanked by two security agents who stood guard and kept a close eye on delegates decked out in white cowboy hats and red, white, and blue outfits.
It wasn't immediately known whether Cruz had accepted the offer. The Capitol Police routinely provide extra security for some senators and representatives including some who receive specific threats. Cruz, however, already employs his own security protection detail. The force also contracts with local undercover police and civilian professionals to protect lawmakers deemed to be under threat. Cruz previously had protection provided by the U.S. Secret Service, but had to give it up when he was no longer a presidential candidate after he dropped out of the race following his loss in Indiana. One Republican lawmaker, asked by DailyMail.com about whether Cruz needed to get more security, responded, 'He's intentionally placed himself in this position and sometimes martyrs choose to do this and I think we ought to work together as a team.'

Trump supporters can be mad without KILLING or HURTING people!
We aren’t the ones murdering innocent cops. We aren’t the ones rioting. WE aren’t the ones blocking roads.
We are the sensible human beings who air our grievances and fight in the public arena of public opinion.
Cruzers who paint us as a threat are no better than the DNC.
They should put him on suicide watch...he has no external enemies, just the demons in his head.
[ You want him hurt? What are we, BLM :)
He’s not worth 10 minutes in jail. ]
But wouldn’t it feel “oh so good” to kick him while he is down, I mean we could tap into our cannibalistic instincts and unleash our savagery at him instead of focusing our anger at Shrillary...
Like a cheap high.
That’s ridiculous.
They’re trying to paint Trump supporters, or Trump himself, as a potentially violent or vindictive bunch, and not to be trusted.
I don’t know if that’s Alinsky or not, but the tactic of accusing someone (in this case by implication) of what you’re guilty of is something the left is good at.
Are they kidding? Trump gets legit threats all day that never get this attention. Cruz may be a low-life but he’s certainly in no danger from some delegate in a cowboy hat.
Preplanned propaganda attacking Trump supporters.
Total BS.
“Ted” (not his real name) Cruz, the globalist in conservative camouflage, the sealed records Constitutionalist and NAU poster boy, is now working 100% in the enemy camp.
There is NO doubt now that he is a mole.
NO ONE will hurt Ted, instead we all PITY HIM.
If his goal was to damage Trump, it backfired - he really means nothing to us anymore, including this Texan that twice voted for him.
She doubtless needs police protection more than he does.
“Cruzers who paint us as a threat are no better than the DNC.”
Such Cruzlims are the pale pastel auxiliary of BLM.
“BS. Violence is always from the left.”
I agree - this is a HIT PIECE on us.
By the way, how many cops have FReepers killed?
That was the worst speech in history. Self-serving egocentric piece of crap. And that was the good parts!
Lol! Can’t find his elbow from his arse.
That is still disturbing, on par with the booger gif.
Dishonorable, lying Ted and you love a man who lies and whose word is worthless? And you want to criticize those who want unity which Cruz single-handedly destroyed—sad for you.
In all honesty: it never has.
If he would just go home, he wouldn’t need protection.
I believe Cruz people were attempting another Michelle Fields type story, this time using Ted’s wife.
