I want to see the quote where he insulted them BEFORE they heckled him

Not a good way to begin your speech by accusing some in the audience of being consumed with hate.

That is not an insult. That was an observation

Actually, his honesty and integrity in telling the truth was quite refreshing!

Uh, why would he say that? Obviously because they started heckling him BEFORE that. His statement was a clear reaction to their heckling, which started when he said that Christians should stand by Israel. The last round of heckling was the crowd reacting to Cruz' criticism of them - at which point he left, realizing that he'd never be able to speak because so many in the audience were uncivilized and unmannered.

Dear ladyjane,

“’Cruz said: “I’m saddened to see that some here, not everyone, are so consumed with hate,’ at the beginning of the video

“Not a good way to begin your speech by accusing some in the audience of being consumed with hate.”

That was his response after they started heckling him. Before that, he said that Christians in the Middle East have no better friend than Israel, and then they started to heckle him.
