Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Monday called for armed protesters who occupied a federal building in Oregon to "stand down peaceably."
"Every one of us has a constitutional right to protest, to speak our minds," Cruz told reporters in Iowa. "But we don‘t have a constitutional right to use force and violence and to threaten force and violence against others. So it is our hope that the protesters there will stand down peaceably, that there will not be a violent confrontation."

A violent confrontation is not going to achieve anything in this instance.
Just lost my vote.
I’m not sure I’m following you on this one Ted...
Have fun with Jebbie or the Don when his true colors come out after the election...
Uh....Ted...time to go back and read up on the Founding Fathers' reasons for the 2nd Amendment.
Cruz get’s it right.
Some background from a very credible good guy who lives in that neck of the woods.

when is violence ever okay in your mind? Only when they take your stuff?
Smar move...
According to a Militia friend, what they did in Oregon wasn’t “Sanctioned”, and won’t be supported by the other militia groups like the Nevada Ranch standoff was.
Is there a candidate who endorses the use of force and violence for you to support?
I support Cruz. I hope there guys get prison for what they’re doing. Same cut of cloth as black lives matter.
Much easier finding a leftist candidate that supports violence against the American people.
There does. But this isn't it.
Cruz is right.
He might add that much of the Left so wants a violent outcome as evidenced by their responses.
Other GOP candidates need to do this too. That way they can take some of the high ground away from 0bama.
Just lost my vote.
Kindly point me to the clause in the Constitution where force and violence against others is sanctioned since Cruz is wrong...
Maybe you are confusing the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence...?
I don’t know where to start.
The article is slanted BS. It is not a federal building, it’s more like federal shack.
There are no hostages and there is no threat of violence.
The reason they are armed (legally armed) is that the BLM has already earned the criticism whereby it is they who threaten violence if you don’t tow the line. (via tactical snipers, etc)
It’s just a civil disobedience protest to shine some light on this bovine feces...
As to why ted has injected himself in this, I must assume he was presented with a BS laden question and he answered it.
Not the first time it’s been done.. but I personally see no reason for them to stand down at this time, or perhaps any time until this mess gets the proper attention from the so called fair and balanced....
