Ann Coulter: Ted Cruz, Fox News ‘Traitors,’ Formed ‘Unified Oligarchy’ Against Trump

Cruz suggested Trump’s campaign “bears responsibility” for violent protesters threatening Trump and his supporters, as social media revealed images of a policeman bleeding from his head and anecdotes of peaceful attendees terrorized by agitators. As reported by Breitbart’s Katie McHugh, this statement angered many Cruz supporters:

“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.”

Coulter said Cruz’s statement to Fox was evidence of a “unified oligarchy,” especially resonant after reports of a secret confab between elites from the Republican establishment and the tech world gathering to create an anti-Trump electoral strategy just days before the Chicago mayhem.

Cruz is a butt boy. "The protesters were bad ....BUT Trump....". There's no but to be said, but Cruz said it. Trump can say kick out Mexicans and Muslims to American voters all day long, it does not justify violence and disruption at his rallies. He can say, "I wish I could punch that guy in the face" to the 43rd disruptor to interrupt him in the middle of a line, but the violence committed by that guy on the way out and at every single rally is his fault.

That is pure stupidity, and I have lost all respect for Ted Cruz and his supporters who parrot this crap. We have a right to take back our country, and in doing so, say what it is we are going to do without having fascists shut down our free speech. Cruz sides with their tactics when he says "But".

Does Teddy Cruz saying this in hopes it will gain him votes? Or does he mean it and has no respect for the constitution? This is troubling.

Anybody who blames victims for not being PC or blames guns or an historic flag for crimes has crossed the line. I find Cruz, Robot Rubio, and J. Kasich's statements more than disturbing and a disregard of freedom of speech.

Yes well Trump just has to say let it out and make everyone into a big liar.

Off the record means off the record. Period. You never let the enemy force you to set a bad precedent. Trump knows that. That's why he's a great negotiator. Cruz doesn't, Rubio doesn't. That's why they're losing.

You do understand that the sucker punch was against somebody already being dragged out of the rally, right? It was done while the person was being detained and dragged out of the rally. I personally preferred the way Cruz handled the Code Pink protesters by reasoning with them. It shut them up, too. I guess there’s no room anymore for a reasoned response to a question, which is what Cruz gave. Lumping him in with Rubio and Kasich is wrong.

You do realize that Trump didn't throw the punch, right? Nor tell his supporters to punch protesters.

I wonder how Cruz would like bringing up Code Pinko protesters to the stage if they had 25 of them interrupting him serially at every single one of his appearances. But since Cruz is not a threat to the left, or to the establishment, they don't hassle him at his gatherings that number into the hundreds.

Pimping for book sales?

No, if Coulter were ‘pimping’ herself, she could have gone to Las Vegas, danced, and slandered convervatism. She’d be rich.

Face it — she believes in what she’s doing.

A beautiful woman never needs to stoop to what Cruz is doing ...

Ted Cruz: Donald Trump sees protesters as disloyal people who must be punished
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3409076/posts
‘It’s also reflected in his treatment of protesters, where anyone who’s a protester is disloyal and must be punished,’ Mr. Cruz told reporters ...’

NO, SENATOR CRUZ. READ MICHELLE MALKIN’S ‘UNHINGED’. That’s EXACTLY what Trump, Hannity, and Rush are talking about.

Cruz is finding himself increasingly alone with wackos and die-hards, Levin being one of the die-hards.

Cruz gaining on Trump? Maybe he might have scraped together some delegates. But not popular support ...

[53%!] Trump breaks 50% in national support for the first time [Cruz 22, Kasich 11, Rubio 10]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3409079/posts

You could yank 10% off of that poll, and Trump would still be the clear front-runner.

The best Cruz can hope for is a floor fight AWAY from the popular vote.
