Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Sunday called on law enforcement personnel to hold multiple people responsible for the Antifa attack against conservative journalist Andy Ngo.
Ngo was attacked on Saturday while covering Antifa protests in Portland, Oregon. Video footage shows Antifa protestors hitting and kicking Ngo. One even threw a "milkshake" mixed with quick-dry cement at the journalist.
Cruz wanted the mainstream media to report on what happened and not ignore what took place, which typically happens when a conservative is attacked.
Sickening criminal assault. To mainstream “journalists”: don’t cover this up, don’t ignore it. https://t.co/0WKE3eQGMb— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 30, 2019
But he also wanted local law enforcement to find out who committed the crimes and prosecute them.
To law enforcement: find & prosecute these violent felons. https://t.co/03yIRM8Iey— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 30, 2019
Cruz also said Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler should have charges brought against him for telling police to stand down during these protests, instead of protecting citizens from "domestic terrorists."
To federal law enforcement: investigate & bring legal action against a Mayor who has, for political reasons, ordered his police officers to let citizens be attacked by domestic terrorists. https://t.co/5xyCDARICl https://t.co/c0Tf3SsKEf— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 30, 2019
Ngo reported multiple instances of Antifa attacks. It wasn't until the third attack, which was caught on camera, that police responded.
"Where have you been?" Ngo asked police, which was seen during his live periscope.
CNN's Brian Stelter actually condemned the attacks that took place, saying they're "unacceptable."
Thank you. Senator Cruz.
Meanwhile at the super secret underground lair of the DOH-J———Crickets. I would really like to see this happen but——
Good.
At least someone is saying this outside FR and few websites.
Meanwhile, smart people on the right will simply avoid public gatherings of this kind. It may not be Braveheart, but there's no sense in purposefully cavorting with the animals in the jungle, knowing that they *will* try to maim or murder you.
H-E-Double toothpicks...... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Portland mayor was cheering the beating of the conservative.
IIRC in Virginia, thanks to the KKK, there used to be a law against wearing masks in public.
Someone wearing a mask in public is up to no good.
Nope. In Portland they’ll just say they were just acting out.
Andy Ngo’s articles have been published in the Wall Street Journal. They’ll probably have coverage of the attack in Monday’s edition.
Just find the parking lot where these animals park and put Trump stickers on their bumpers.
HOORAY Ted Cruz!!!
They do this to keep people away that do not agree with their views. We stay home then it looks like everyone supports their views. We show up to counter them or protest we may get attacked. Terrible choice.
I wish I could believe that.
The one thing all politicians stand for is re-election.

Very good.
A Google search of “andy ngo beaten by antifa” has very few mainstream media hits. The only one I saw was from MSN on page 2 of the search, and there’s nothing on the other alphabets, NY Slimes, or WaPo. It’s high time this kind of thing gets covered.
Your right, AG Barr can’t be bothered with stuff like this because he is studying the Sessions playbook about how to become invisible and do nothing.
Agree, crickets chirping on these obvious terror actions.
Paging USAG Barr...
I second that.
