Did Cruz mention LaRaza, moveon.org, BLM, and other radical groups specifically? It wasn’t in the quote that Weigel gave; did he leave stuff out?
No he didn't mention Laraz or the others...but it was all over twitter that these groups were going to do this.
Whatever Cruz was trying to say was totally obliterated by his shameless act of blaming Donald Trump for their actions.
Thanks for the link.
I didn’t hear what you heard. I heard him say that the protesters are responsible for the violence, and Trump and his campaign are responsible for the culture of their campaign. A Breitbart reporter is NOT BLM or moveon.org. If there was violence towards a reporter as alleged, that can’t be blamed on Bill Ayers. And that’s just plain true.
I don’t know whether that attack occurred or not, but if Trump made comments about wanting to punch somebody, that’s not a good tone to set, for civil discourse. That’s what Cruz basically said, and I don’t see how anybody could argue with that. Cruz isn’t saying Trump is responsible for violence; he clearly said the opposite. But Trump IS responsible for the tone he sets, and if it’s a tone that won’t even tolerate a conservative reporter without his supporters and/or campaign leaders resorting to physical force.... well, that’s a problem for those who expect civil discourse.
