Ted Cruz on Baltimore riots: 'President Obama has turned us against each other'

Sen. Ted Cruz called the unrest in Baltimore heartbreaking and called on President Barack Obama and African-American community leaders to lead efforts to unify people and stress common values.

“To see a great American city torn apart by violence is fundamentally wrong,” Cruz, who is running for president, said in an interview with Fox News Latino on Wednesday. “Our prayers need to be with the families of those who’ve been injured, those who’ve been murdered.”

Cruz said he understands the frustrations among African Americans, who, the Texas Republican said, are “understandably concerned about whether law enforcement policies are being applied fairly.”

“When it comes to Mr. Freddy Gray,” he said, referring to the young black man who died while in police custody, “there needs to be a fair and impartial investigation into what happened.” “But the answer is not violence and mayhem,” he said. “The people who have been paying the biggest price have been the minority communities.”

The same happened during the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri last year, after the death of a black man at the hands of a white police officer, Cruz said.

“In Ferguson, it was African-American small business owners having their businesses burned to the ground.”(continued)

Why not? I am sure he is doing exactly what he was taught in community organizer school.

It's not Obama’s job to unify. His job is to create hatred and division for the purpose of destroying America.

While they’re calling for federal oversight in Ferguson and Baltimore, In Detroit they’re complaining about federal interference after a fed shot and killed a guy last night.

Hillary. She pretty much has the Bhoner/McConnel/Walker/Rubio GOP platform down cold. She might as well run as one.

Lie. Cheat, change positions like underwear, screw the base, support illegals. Sit silently while cities burn...

I think she’s a true leader in the modern GOP mold. Which is why hopefully, Cruz will bolt the party at some point. He and we would be better without them.

100,000 new cops on the streets was so Dem90’s. Now it’s “Give thugs their space to vent” in Dem2015. That and 100,000 fewer dogs because of the 100,000 new cops.

Obama and Holder are using a propaganda bandwagon tool to whip up crowds. Their media keeps pushing stories without the facts, giving 24/7 coverage to these thugs in protests, and the web-heads are only to happy to jump in even if they don't know why.

The why is Obama's private police force he's talked about since 2008, he's patient.

Bandwagon: Propagandists use this technique to persuade the audience to follow the crowd. This device creates the impression of widespread support. It reinforces the human desire to be on the winning side. It also plays on feelings of loneliness and isolation. Propagandists use this technique to convince people not already on the bandwagon to join in a mass movement while simultaneously reassuring that those on or partially on should stay aboard. .

Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history.

David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.

What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.

“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life. Dem. senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the main cause of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.

We saw hell explode after the democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city.

Baltimore needs a new mayor with courage and integrity, Toya Graham, the mother that took his son from the mob.

Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.

According to the FBI in 2011, 193 blacks were killed by whites, 448 White killed by Blacks while 2,447 blacks were killed by blacks. That is 2.3 times more whites killed by blacks than the other way around despite the fact that there’s six times as many whites in this country.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke: Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore

Not holding back one bit. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says O is “quietly enjoying” what’s going on in Baltimore because he’s a ‘promoter of division’ and has ‘benefitted politically’ from ‘dividing’ people.

Sheriff Clarke points out all the times President Obama has pitted one group of Americans against another. He also questions why Obama didn’t come out and speak about the Baltimore riots earlier. He was interviewed here on the Mark Levin Show

Clarke: Change In Baltimore Should Start With “Failed Liberal Democrat Policies”

Breitbart.com ^ | April 30,2015 | Ian Hanchett

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) blasted “failed liberal government policies” for miring people in cities like Baltimore in “generational poverty” and argued that change in Baltimore “needs to start in the politics, the failed liberal Democrat policies” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.
