Cruz: Trump Campaign Bears Responsibility For Creating Environment Encouraging Violence
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 3-11-2016 | Aaron Kliegman

Posted on 03/11/2016 9:57:10 PM PST by Brookhaven

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) said Friday night that primary frontrunner Donald Trump’s campaign is responsible for creating an environment that encourages violence after a Trump rally was cancelled because clashes broke out when protestors entered the event.

Speaking at a press conference, Cruz told reporters he “thinks a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment [of violence]. When the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence, to punch people in the face, the predictable consequence of that is that it escalates.”

“Politics makes strange bedfellows,” is the old saw, and this season, that’s true in spades

Actually, modern politicians make for Johns and whores in bed together. cruz has shown himself to the whore time after time.

Listen to it yourself. He blamed Trump and not the organizers. You don’t think this would happen at a Cruz rally if he were the front runner???

Wake up!!!

I DID listen to it. He blamed the organizers for the violence. He blamed the candidate for the tone of his campaign. If that shoe fits, wear it.

Even the rhetoric, the half truths, even articles which quote a few words and make up the rest of a headline that looks like a full sentence quote are execrable. This site WAS the place we questioned the media and looked at facts, we analyzed what people said and discussed it. Not any more, people are in such a rush to kick the one Constitutional Conservative out in favor of a guy who makes slightly veiled references to a news reporter's menses.

If you think the current occupant of the white hut is a national embarrassment, you ain't seen nothing yet!

This Floridian has already voted for Trump. I won’t be for a Cruz SC appointment nor a Cabinet position now.

Cruz should have stood strong for the First Amendment and not placed the blame for the rioters on Trump.

On the contrary. It’s not churlish if you happen to have a love for the truth, as Cruz does...along with his love for the US Constitution. A trait that is obviously NOT shared by Donald Trump, as proven by his previous political stances, his own words, and his donations to the radical leftists that are destroying us from within.

True dat. Just look, for instance and for one example, at how badly he has divided Freepers.

Alas, you are wasting your efforts and your cyber-breath on these people. They’re about as “conservative” as is The Donald they worship and adore. And as such, no logic, no truth and no facts will break through that steel-plated armor around their delusional heads. But I have to admire your tenacity and perseverance.

>> Believe me, after tonight's debacle, you will never see or hear a Trump supporter say another word advocating Ted Cruz for VP, SCOTUS, or dog-catcher, as long as he lives. <<

Believe me, I will hold you to that and be happy to ping you next week when your fellow Trumpbots start pushing their latest "Cruz would make a great guy for [insert position here] in Trump's administration" talking point. In fact, I'm bookmarking your comment so I can find it again.

Last night? He must be late to the game. Your boy Trump formally disqualified himself from any position of trust and responsibility in the governing of this Republic when he announced his candidacy as a "Republican". Having fun voting for your arrogant left-wing reality TV personality, don't blame me when you get what you asked for.

A lot of hate and self-delusion there.

You better get some professional help, and I don’t mean a hooker!

I will never, never, never forget what this sleaze ball Cruz did tonight. And the communist “news” on the “top of the hour” with glee quoted Ted Cruz.

When you look beyond whichever candidate you support to what they are about, their motives and core foundations, then you understand what each one is doing........and why they are saying and doing what they are.
