Donald J. trump:

From the mouth of Donald Trump:

January 23 - “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”

November 22, “Maybe he should have been roughed up . . . “

February 1 - “If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, just knock the hell out of them. I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees.”

February 23 - “I’d like to punch him in the face, I tell ya.”

“I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.”

Now, Sen. Ted Cruz:

This is exactly what Cruz said.

“It is my hope that going forward we will have a substantive, issue-based discussion, where we can have differences about how we turn this country around, that we do so in a way that appeals to our better angels instead of our worst instincts,” Cruz continued. “That seeks to pull us together, and unite us, instead of tear us apart. You know, we’ve seen for seven years a president who often at times of crisis, has sought to divide us, sought to divide us on ethnic lines, on religious lines, on class lines. America’s better than this. We don’t have to tear each other apart.”

Asked if Trump should have gone ahead with the rally, Cruz paused for a moment, then said the decision should have been based on public safety.

“But I think a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence, to punch people in the face,” said Cruz. “The predictable consequence of that is that it escalates, and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We saw, earlier today, in St. Louis, over 30 arrested. That’s not how our politics should occur. You know, the city of Chicago in 1968 saw some ugly days, when politics descended into hatred and incivility and even violence. It is my hope that in 2016 we can appeal to our better angels, to avoid going down that road once again.” - Ted Cruz

That's ridiculous. Using that logic Trump supports Islamic jihadis because he said Americans should not draw Mohammed right after a mass murder attempt in Texas last year.

Trump supporters get subjective with the truth. Just because Cruz holds Trump accountable for what Trump says, does not mean he supports BLM and moveon.org.
