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.

It’s like Merkel in Germany. They see what they want to see so they can say what they want to say. Sick!
Politicians including Cruz have never done anything positive for American only sold America out to China(TPP), Mexico , illegals, Iran (Coker bill), and billionaire globalist donors.
Uh, I believe you mean Corker AMENDMENT...
How do the Washington DC caucus results jibe with your charge Cruz is a Washington insider?
Iran is building nukes NOW and your Cruz helped that and is doing what now to stop it? NOTHING
No. All the polls show Hillary BEATING tRump in the genreal. Only Cruz can win.
People got HURT in that protest!!! These people NEED to be prosecuted and convicted. It’s not an innocent game. If they keep it up they need to go away for longer and longer.

I thought about that song just the other day, in light of this political season.
Remember when Obama called for a civilian patrol?
Will Trump be different?
I would hope so, but....
He has already called for strengthening libel laws against the press.
I am no fan of the MSM, but free speech is in the 1st of the bill of rights for a reason.
“[Coulter] is just another left wing pretender.”
Spoken like a true Cruz-bot.
I’ve got no problem with prosecuting them, but wasting his breath by saying he’d ruin the rest of their lives in so doing may bite him in the end.
“And don’t forget that Trump is the one who blamed Pamela Gellar for the Garland, Texas shooting for being provocative toward Islam.”
I happen to love Pamela Gellar, but she was in fact trying to be provocative toward Islam, not that there is anything wrong with that.
It did cause some people to get killed.
Can you imagine the kind of sword that would have given Trump’s enemies if he had said otherwise?
Never really bought into Coulter being a Conservative. A Republican? I guess so. A conservative? Not really.
Remember, she has supported Romney and Christie in the past.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. Winston Churchill
The problem is where the charges against Cruz is concerned I hear much conjecture and interpretation, not facts.
Iran is building nukes NOW because of your Cruz
Hey stop posting to me. I don’t care what you cruz bots say. I ignore posts from Cruz bots. It will be a happy day for me when I never have to hear from Cruz or his bots again. You can all go jump in the lake for all I care.
Go Trump Save America Trump!
Trump has only left other people holding the bag. In RECORD proportions in Atlantic City. You are buying a load of “Con Artist BS.
You are the 3rd or 4th person to answer this post. Can you defend your boy’s “Catch and release program for illegal aligns? So far its all been Cruz is a liar and an cheat with zero proof. Thats all I get out of this group. Not a shred of backup. Show me how deporting and bringing them all right back is a good plan. Show me anything Trump says thats a good plan. Don’t go to his web site. Show me him saying it. He talks a lot but says nothing. He is a shyster in the first degree.
