Since this news story made the sidebar here on FR, I decided to provide some context to the remarks that have garnered so much interest.
I just view my DVR tape of the Jimmy Kimmel Show last night. Just prior to Senator Cruz coming on was a segment on cool April Fools jokes that could be played on friends.
One of the jokes was to duct tape a Freddie Kruger action figure to someone's rear view camera. The guy demonstrating also said that a picture could be used as well. He held up a picture of Donald Trump.
Cruz was just continuing the joke by referencing that previous segment.
Meanwhile, irresponsible "journalists" are ignorantly or deliberately reporting this joke out of context as being a serious comment. Typical.
I understand the legal definition, and battery like this applies. It is minor violence, but it is violence none the less.
QUOTES FROM CRUZ SUPPORTERS ON FR REGARDING A JOKE TRUMP MADE WHERE HE SAID:
Trump:”I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot people and I wouldn’t lose voters.”
“Juvenile....”
“Great idea Donald. You go with that and let us know how it works out, k?”
“His supporters would probably admire how “above the law” he is and scold the pedestrians who got in the way of his bullets.” That one is from the zotted GodGunsGuts
“Yes he did. This is the psychopath that delusional Trump voters are following. And the funny thing is he’s pretty much mocking them.”
“Comments like this do not encourage those he needs on board to get to 270 Electoral College Votes. It’s arrogant, conceited, and suggests he might resort to violence to get his way. I’d never vote for anyone else if he is the nominee but...can he win saying stupid things like that?”
“Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.”
“If Trump really said that such a statement will count very much against him in my book. He is a megalomaniac.”
“he did say it and it truly says something about the man. Of course no TRUMP supporters will do anything less than praise the joke...”
“It’s a joke but why would he say it? What does it tell you about what Trump thinks about his followers and whether they would object to his lawlessness in office?”
and lies for a campaign manager caught on video committing a violent crime.
OK, I’ll bite...what video show trump’s campaign manager committing a violent crime...can you post it please...?
It was good to show he has a personality. He’s so darned serious all the time. He has such an agonized look and tone.
If that is your definition of “violence” then that type of violence occurs every day, every hour, every minute all over the world by probably everybody...
get a grip.....
I imagine some Trump supporters have already reported this as a threat. Their names have been added to the list of possibly mental unstable people who need to be monitored.
We always see the “context” when Rafael screws up. When it is Trump, the context is always left out.
We are on to you and your ilk.
Cruz needs to tone down the hate.
If a Cruz supporter, or one of his allies on the left, did succeed in killing Trump, I wonder how you would spin that one?
I’m sure you would find some clever way to say he deserved it.
When she wasn’t supposed to? He was in a room full of reporters, surrounded by reporters asking questions. The Secret Service certainly didn’t seem to think her being there was a problem. What I saw was a man grabbing someone and pulling them away for daring to ask Dear Leader a question he didn’t like.
Whether you see it my way or your way though, the truth is there were lies told by the Trump campaign. They said it didn’t happen. They said the video showed it didn’t happen. One of his changing stories on the incident was that it never happened. IT happened, and Lyin’ Lewandowski got caught on tape.
I said pictures of tats, Leftist.
Like your hero you spin and obfuscate.
We all saw Amanda’s braggy bottom beyatch tat pic. Where are the others in this “staff wide” lol prank.
I’m not going to bother posting it, it was posted like 20 times in the last couple days. Lewandowski’s actions fulfill the legal requirement of battery, a violent crime.
We only have one anti establishment candidate left.
It is Trump against the establishment.
My eyes and ears don’t lie to me.
My older brother is about the same age as Cruz. I’m a little less than two years younger than he is. I see how Cruz behaves and acts, and that is the very same reason why I would beat the crap out of my brother on a regular basis. He had that same combination of irritating qualities that Cruz has. Most people grow out of it, or at least avoid getting sucked into a pissing match that they can’t win.
She was at a press conference that was OVER, and Trump was exiting the venue. NO ONE was asking him questions on the way out EXCEPT HER! She was in the wrong place at the wrong time!
***More comments from Cruz people when Trump tells a joke they dont like***
“There is always an excuse for Trump. His words never mean anything. Do they?”
“”Jokes” are often used as away to tell the truth and get away with it.”
“Well it’s a joke that is also probably true and he’s essentially laughing at his supporters and their gullibility as to how much he’s gotten away with.”
“In other words, Trump is happy that his supporter are emotional & intellectual cripples.”
“it’s stupid and arrogant and shows his narcissism and lack of class.”
There are 300+ posts in the multiple posts regarding this, and plenty more comments like this from Cruz supporters.
What were his exact words to that affect, do you even know?
Cruz is a prick. My God anyone who gets near the guy hates him. Well, almost everyone...
