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.
That is just a ridiculous position to try and defend.
Cruz is acting like a Defense Lawyer trying to use “She was asking for it” rape defense
Cruz is making a “Yes but”, defense.
Cruz is saying
Yes what was done was wrong BUT it is justified because the victim...
Anyone NOT welded at the hip to a candidate knows that is exactly what this is and will hold Cruz accountable
There was such an opportunity here for Cruz and he totally blew it.
Can you imagine what the result would of been if Cruz had come out and supported Trump and soundly castigated the media and the rioters? If he had made a full throated defense of the Constitutional principals of Free Speech and Free Assembly?
But instead he weaseled just like the standard issue GOPE politicians.
It’s also wrong to rape someone.
But if you are going to wear that sexy outfit it “does spur on a more antagonistic tone which may be more prone to violence”.
Right?
