So at 1:22 when he says “...but in a campaign, responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively promotes violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this type of discord.”
Who was he talking about there? Particularly with the last comment who could only be referring to one candidate.

You have to understand the reason Cruz completely threw Trump under the bus is he not campaigning for the conservative vote any longer. He’s looking completely at the “anti-Trump” GOP voters. Yesterday was the low-info insult, today the Chicago stuff and tomorrow it will be something else.
The man is a greasy career politician looking out for #1. It couldn’t be more clear.
That quote shows exactly how Sen. Cruz is twisting reality to try to score points against Mr. Trump. The Trump campaign doesn't promote violence, where and when have Trump supporters instigated violence against anybody? They have responded to attacks, and defended themselves, and at many events law enforcement officers and security personnel have removed protesters. But the protesters are the people starting the problems, not the campaign or its supporters.
The people starting problems and instigating violence are the protesters, who for some reason Sen. Cruz is now siding with.
With respect to the statement "when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press" Sen. Cruz is repeating a strange allegation which may be factually incorrect, and in order for the "members" to be plural Sen. Cruz appears to be including an incident where a Secret Service agent pushed a member of the press to the ground after the member of the press tried to touch the agent. How is that physical violence by the campaign? Perhaps Sen. Cruz has a problem with the Secret Service, but they aren't under Mr. Trump's control, and Sen. Cruz must surely know that aggressively touching a Secret Service agent is likely to result in a physical response from the agent.
Oh my, that’s even worse than I thought based on what I’ve been reading here... Way over the top especially the unproven press incident. Projection on disrespecting the voters ah no Ted that was you.
