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.

He has done what he said he would do. Fight it. He is one of 100. As president he will be able to do very much right away. Still nothing about your boys catch and release program... Very common among you Trumpbots.
Hey we understand that defending a severely flawed candidate is tough work. But its time to give it up. Lyin Ted and the SS Cruz are taking on water like the Bismark. He is going to be back in his senate seat in a few weeks reading Green Eggs and Ham. The guy is a disgrace.
This is his wife. Money talks.
He's got good taste.
Chicago has a long history of violence. No new news here.
You people are funny. Cruz is this and Cruz is that. Just because people say it in a debate. Tell me what he said and prove it. Show me a quote of a lie he said?. You can’t. But I will be waiting. Bush and his crew hate Cruz. If they ever do support him it will be in desperation.
By the way How about you trying to explain your boy’s “Catch and release program for the illegals? Ill tell you why because you can’t. It’s the dumbest obama plan ever. But sounds good to you bubbas.
Totally agree on the good taste...
Trump should promise to build a wall around Chicago.
Trump should promise to build a wall around Chicago.
Politicians are corrupt liars. Cruz has been a W Bush advisor for 20 years and Bush tried to give amnesty to illegals.
You trust politicians LOL. no wonder this country is in trouble.
Trump has never been a politician nor is he owned by globalist donors like Cruz is
So why is it that EVERYONE is ignoring the very first 3 sentences that Cruz uttered on this matter? Oh, right - it doesnt fit the meme.///
My impression was that, while Cruz did preface his remarks by deploring the “demonstrators,’ his main point was that it was Trumps fault.
What is Trump supposed to do when these thugs keep disrupting his rallies? I saw the punk flipping everyone before the old guy played the knock out game in reverse on him.
Trumps no nonsense approach to these thugs, as well as other aspects of his candidacy are seen as strength. And this cycle it is strength that people want more than policy proposals.
could She jump up and down?
I really do believe some here have gone off the deep end.
Cruz has been in elected office for 38 months. Hardly a career politician. Trump is a career “Con Artist”. Selling you and many the biggest con job of his career.
And I still notice that you cannot defend his “Catch and release program.
Only the Shadow knows what lurks in the minds of Trumpeteers...
This is what a Trump presidency will look like. If you disagree one iota with him, there will be thousands coming to punch you in the face.
Mob rule is abhorrent, whether it be Obama or Trump. Pete Townshend was prophetic in "Won't Be Fooled Again": meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
But I'm afraid you are the one who is not listening to what your own candidate is saying - or not saying. Not just the platitudes, applause lines and generalizations, but the substance - or total lack of substance. Its all there in front of you. Or not, and from that you should be drawing conclusions different from the ones you apparently have.
Cruz has never held a a real job or created a business like Trump has. Cruz has been a Washington insider from day 1 and has a plan to become rich by lying as all politicians do. who is an honest politician? oh yeah you evil Cruz bots believe Cruz is a saint.LOL. give me a break. you are just into cult worship. give it up and go worship your false prophet . I don't want to hear any more from you Cruz bots nor Cruz may you both go jump in the lake for all I care.
Go Trump , Save America!
More than stunning how people have described a man such as Cruz....just evidences the ability to discern candidates just isn’t there any longer....perhaps it never was....rather the masses simply jump on whatever bandwagon the media feeds them. Very sad time in America IMO. We finally get a candidate we asked who’s being thrown in the dumpster here on FR , for a counterfeit.
The enemy of truth is not a lie.....it’s the almost true.
A rational person would look at the results of the Washington DC caucus - the one where all the bureaucrats come out to vote - come to a completely different conclusion.
