It seems that the rhetoric against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has gone from hateful to downright graphic and violent. The Capitol Police are investigating online threats made by an individual against the Texas senator, a Cruz spokesperson said Friday.
The threatening posts were made on Twitter by someone who identifies himself as Troy Gilmore Jr. and uses the Twitter handle @ArmyVet54. He has also listed Cruz’s home address in Houston several times and argued he needs to be “taught a street wise lesson.”
“Take down Ted Cruz, at his home,” the person tweeted, listing Cruz’s home address in Houston.
“Lets Find Ted Cruz, Texas address and show up his House, drag him out and B***h slap his A** in front of the country,” another tweet reads.
“Ted Cruz, we want you a** go the f*** back in Canada, else you and ur family will pay. U got a f***ing big mouth,” the same person wrote.
In yet another threatening post, the user advocates hanging Cruz by his “small balls if he tries another ‘ShutdownTactic.’”
“We’re aware of it and have alerted the proper authorities. I can’t comment further on security matters,” Cruz spokesman Sean Rushton told The Hill.
Capitol Police spokesman Shennell Antrobus told the Hill the department is “looking into that matter” and that they take all threats against members of Congress seriously.
POLICE INVESTIGATING GRAPHIC, VIOLENT THREATS MADE AGAINST TED CRUZ: ‘GO THE F*** BACK TO CANADA, ELSE YOU AND [YOUR] FAMILY WILL PAY’
What’s the bet this is Al Sharpton?
Those who are working hard defending the U.S. Constitution are making hard-line enemies among those who want to destroy it.
They are giving him a medal?
If Cruz is hurt...it’s on baby.
What a small mind Golmore must have - all the more noticeable considering that he thought he could make a death threat to a politician & not have to face the law.
This is another reason we have the second Amendment, to defend against, not only the government, but against everyday, run of the mill rats.
Right, and all it takes is one of these violent, radicals to take down our patriot.
Senator Cruz deserves the security that the Marxist is provided.
If we understand history, and where we are in terms of where the MarxoFascists have taken us - we are PAST THE POINT of dealing with things in a civil manner.
The rhetoric of these Brownshirt tactics get their marching orders from Obama’s media Gestapo and they are not going to stop with words alone.
If we ignore what sick bastards like this are saying and doing, then we will deserve what will follow upon ALL OF US whom they name as enemies to their state.
KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. They are telling us loud and clear. We just refuse to listen to them or take them seriously.
A bloodletting is coming, and they are going to get it started.
Texas FReepers, you need to make sure no leftist ahole trespasses on Ted Cruz’ property, or tries to storm or block entrance to his home and/or harass him and his family in any way. We need some Texas Rangers to show a force of protection, or any other group willing to help.
The left is using a Saul Alinsky tactic against Ted Cruz...select a target, freeze it, harass, intimidate, threaten and destroy the target. Let us apply some reverse Saul Alinsky tactic AGAINST the left. I leave that up to the imagination of us willing to stand up for Ted Cruz.
I do hope Ted Cruz is aware of the posting of his address online, and that he has hired armed body guards to protect him and his family. God bless and protect Ted and his family.
If this guy’s an army vet, then I’m the king of England.
He’s a useful idiot that’s been manipulated by the Obomba Administration, the GOP establishment, and the Obombacentric media. As far as those people are concerned, he’s a throwaway. He’s done his job, now he can be discarded.
Of course, if he’s black, nothing will happen to him.
Picture of the suspect.
According to the Left, Cruz is doing tremendous damage to the GOP. Why would they want to harass him?
More examples of Brawk Obama’s “school of civility and unity.”
Yep. He is doing the job he promised and the job we expected and I thank God for his family living with this craziness, just so we can be represented.
I can’t wrap my brain around why people can’t understand this. Why can’t they just let it be? Why must all be lock step?
I realize there are freak folk (in my opinion) who represent what I see as the idiot point of view... but I don’t wish to harm them.
Anyhow, like I said—all bets are off if they hurt the person I voted for or his family. I won’t sit by for that. Nope. Never.
Yet no qualms about the president from Kenya.
Strange.......
actually not really, There is no reasoning with insanity.
I voted for this man, I helped send him and his family to DC. These people have a fight with Texas, not Cruz and his family. Meet us...
