Voters Slam Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio for Blaming Chicago Rally Shutdown on Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | March 13, 2016 | Katie McHugh

Supporters of Sens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) took to social media to slam the freshman senators for blaming leftists shutting down a Trump Chicago rally on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

“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. The predictable consequence of that is that it escalates and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We earlier today in St. Louis over thirty arrested. That’s not how our politics should occur,” Cruz said Friday. “You know, the City of Chicago in 1968 saw some ugly days when politics descended into hatred and incivility and even violence and it is my hope that in 2016 that we can appeal to our better angels and avoid going down that road once again.”

Cruz supporters, incensed by the Texas senator’s blame game, stormed social media to express their anger. Top comments on a Friday Facebook post promoting a Cruz “victory fund” drew furious responses.

Sadly, it illustrates a truth.

Ted supported the Brownshirts, and left a man on the battlefield.

Sanders, Clinton and the MSM are to blame. Imagine if Trump supporters were violently disrupting Sanders or Clinton rallies?

What if they were right wing, white, Christains?

Would they blame Sanders or Clinton?

 

The International Left resorts to its old tricks...

The lying MSM propaganda machine is in high gear too.

Yep beat them bloody in Wyoming and DC. Oh wait. NOT!

Anyone want to say Trump didn't shut down the rally?

Maybe it was the SS, then, that pulled the plug.

I don't blame either one, it became a safety issue.

As for the protesters, Cruz said they were responsible for their own actions.

There are a host of websites who won't be visited by me if they can't get that straight. I don't need them to tell me more lies.

When and where did Cruz express solidarity with the thugs in the streets. You claim he supported them. QUOTE IT, show it, and not with photoshopped crap.

It is a long way from calling out TRump for coarse and violent rhetoric to SUPPORTING the Communists.

So, bullsh*t.

I think very few REAL Cruz supporters switched to Trump over this. Most of us agreed with him over the tone of Trump’s campaign.

Over 300,000 left Ted’s FB account, and many Twitter people, who were die-hard defenders, left too.

It will be interesting to see what happens Tuesday.

Cowards. Doesn’t surprise anyone. Just pat yourself on the back while the rest of us actually fight for the country.

Posting that crap in front of the fan, again? I don’t see how you think that is proof of anything other than Trump supporters are gullible to believe Cruz supports that because someone posted a crappy cut YouTube.
