I really don't see why Cruz is to blame for Trump's demeanor at his rallies. At all the protests that we've attended through the years, I wouldn't have wanted the speaker to instruct the crowd to beat the crap out of us.

If you are looking for Cruz, to clarify his statements on the organized leftists protests, he did so on Sunday:

Meet the Press - March 13, 2016

SEN. TED CRUZ:
Well, let's be clear. Listen, the protesters have no right to engage in violence. They have no right to threaten violence. And these protesters, whether it's Black Lives Matter or Bernie Sanders protestors who are coming in just trying to shout down any speaker, that's not free speech. The First Amendment gives you a right to speak, but it doesn't give you a right to silence others.

So the protesters are behaving abusively and wrong. But, at the end of the day in any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. And it is not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump telling his supporters, "Punch that guy in the face."

Please post a link or video that has Mr. Trump stating “Punch that guy in the face”.

All I’ve been able to reference is when he said he’d (Trump) like to punch that guy in the face.

It sounds to me like Cruz may be exaggerating or outright lying.
