That phrase alone sinks Ted Cruz, because he had to know that at least one of the allegations was untrue. The first attempt at tarring the Trump campaign with the "violence against the press" theme failed when it turned out the reporter was trying to grab the throat of a Secret Service agent. Cruz had to know that.
The second allegation in the series, that a Trump campaign official pushed a reporter was shown to be false yesterday, when Breitbart reported that Ms. Fields was also pulled by a Secret Service agent. See the story here
Repeating the talking points of the left, particularly the false ones, is not going to help Sen. Cruz. It may well cost him any chance at the presidency. Dumb move for a very smart guy.
CRUZ: "when you have a campaign that’s facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press"
Remember the old democrat talking point from the time the democrats and leftist media tried to scuttle the Clarance Thomas confirmation to the Supreme Court?
It's not if it is true or not -
"given the seriousness of the allegations, that alone should stop his confirmation.”
