Megyn agrees with Cruz that Trump is responsible
The pendulum has reached the end of it’s arc concerning the public threshold for corruption and loss of liberty! There is no defiance of gravity.
Isn’t Obamaland great?
The dirtbags are finally winning. :D
FWIW:
9:25 p.m.
A spokesman for the Chicago Police Department says the agency never recommended that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump cancel his campaign rally in the city.
CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi tells The Associated Press that the department never told the Trump campaign there was a security threat at the University of Illinois at Chicago venue. He said the department had sufficient manpower on the scene to handle any situation.
Guglielmi says the university’s police department also did not recommend that Trump call off the event. He says the decision was made “independently” by the campaign.
Trump cancelled the rally in Chicago due to what organizers said were safety concerns after protesters packed into the arena where it was to take place.
Trump afterward told MSNBC in a telephone interview that he canceled the event because he didn’t “want to see people hurt or worse.” He said he thinks he “did the right thing.”
Guglielmi says Trump never arrived at the Chicago venue.
“Occupy” becomes violent. Who’d ‘a’ “thunk?”
I am a Cruz supporter but I am sick of the obscene troublemakers disrupting rallies. God bless the police for handling the Chicago Rally and St Louis Rally without anyone getting hurt. The time has ceased when it comes to handling the thugs with kid gloves.
Democrats are SO VIOLENT. The party should have been banned after they killed Lincoln.
Cruz did NOT blame Donald Trump.
Trump certainly has the right to have his rally unencumbered. Equally, the protesters have every right to show up and protest just about as loudly and obnoxiously as they like — as long as it’s peaceful and they don’t try to disrupt.
Now, I will say that I think Trump selected a place for the event that was probably unwise. Another location might have reduced this problem. Having it on the college campus made it way too easy for the protesters to do what they do.
A lot of violence seems to follow Trump. He has personally threatened demonstrators and asked his supporters to punch them out. His campaign manager attacked a reporter simply for asking a question. His supporters have violently attacked minority protesters. But somehow, that has nothing to do with him.
So you can say that something about his campaign is fostering such an environment.
Cruz says the responsibility for the violence rests with the protesters. How is that blaming Trump?
