Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” while discussing the recent protests and violence at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s rallies, Sen. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Trump was “encouraging people to violence” and pointed to an instance where he said to “punch that guy in the face” as his proof.

Protestors incited the violence in the first place by showing up and starting trouble. That’s how it’s disputable.
Because everyone who is functionally literate knows you are responsible for your own actions.
Ted “Occupy” Cruz. How low can this political prostitute go?
Really despicable that supposed “Conservatives” blame the target rather then the Leftist aggressors. Really remarkably stupid to think siding with the rioters is going to work for you polticlally with GOP voters.
I would like a link for when Trump told someone to punch anyone in the face. This is another Teddie lie.
I have seen every Trump rally.
find me a link, please.
I heard Trump lament that trump wishes that Trump could punch someone in the face. Not the same thing.
Your position is weak because some of us arent rolling over and taking it anymore. Go ahead and turn the other cheek. See what that gets you.
Some of these little creeps need what we called back in the day...an education.
I would have slapped them across the back of the head.
I don’t like Trump, and I hope he doesn’t get the nomination. But...he’s taking a bad rap for this one. The BLM people who shut down his rally also were the ones who shut down Sanders’, and forced him off stage. They have dogged the Dems, too. What hate speech were Sanders el al engaged in that “caused” BLM to demonstrate?
Because it is a lie. Trump said, “I would like to punch him in the face” at one particular obnoxious profane protester.
l.
We suppose to trust Ted Cruz the Principled to be the Strongest Constitutional Conservative?
But when an easy slam dunk issue like the Chicago riots presented Ted Cruz plays politics instead like a standard issue GOPE poltican.
If he is willing to cave to the false media meme rather then defend unreservedly defend Constitutional Principals of Free Speech and Free Assembly, what else is he willing to cave on when the pressure is on?
I can smell the putrid stink of warmed over Bush coming from Cruz, Rubio and Kasich.
If you broke into my home, I'd drop you like a rat. But this wasn't in his home, it was at a public speech. I'm always happy to see leftists get what they deserve but it's a two-way street.
You are not "breaking" anything, except the eggshells your and others have walked on and advocated for decades when facing off with leftist thugs.
but yes, when you say you would like to punch a protestor in the face
This "protester" disrupted a rally and infringed on a candidate and his supporters' 1st Amendment rights.
If I break into your home and start screaming profanities, you're going to kick the crap out of me too, right?
and talk about how in the good old days protestors were carried out on stretchers you are encouraging violence.
Read up on what Governor Reagan did and how he handled the ingrates at Berkeley.
This is even more evident when you look at the fact that Trump offered to cover the legal fees of anyone who ended up roughing up a protestor at one of his rallies.
He did not offer to cover the fees. He said he would look into it and make sure that the guy had good legal representation so the leftist goons don't sue him into oblivion.
I saw that Cruz did very in Guam yesterday, winning that primary. At this point I think his best option is to cash in his chips and run for President of Guam in the next election cycle.
I couldn’t have said it better. Is there anything you Trumpettes wouldn’t defend from Dear Leader’s mouth?
He was not advocating self defense. His words were clear. He is basically a thug - that is how he conducts his business. We do not need another thug in the Whitehouse.
Read the whole article. Ted says it’s wrong for anyone to try and stop free speech as the protesters were doing. However, he says that the rhetoric talk such as “punch him in the face” does spur on a more antagonistic tone which may be more prone to violence.
Even with all of that, he not saying, yet, he won’t support Trump if he wins he nomination.
No because like the rest of the Cruz fan girls, you so busy lying again, you did not notice that Trump never said any such thing.
So riot = OK, because person said stuff?
So you subscribe to idiot leftists behaving like animals because they have no agency?
So when they use whatever comes out of Cruz’s mouth to do the same to him.....at what point are you going to make sure your mouth is firmly sewed shut?
Bernie’s folks? Who were the ones who stormed a Sanders’ rally and forced him off stage? Are there different BKM organizations?
Did you read the article of the link that you posted?
its not clear that you did.
Trump, who is smart, should absolutely pay for his criminal defense. If I were his counsel, I would demand it.
