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.”

Not unbelievable at all. The man has no loyalty to Americans or our founding.
Ted and Heidi and the GOPe “Bill and Hill”
I will never vote for Ted. He has sealed the door.
Good grief, siding with BLM? This is crazy!
TED Cruz Bush — this is not true.
You’re a bad man. I think you should go to the corn field.
Oops . . Are the GOPe “Bill and Hill”
We should be thankful to Mr.Cruz for revealing his true nature.
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
He could have gone with that.
Instead the headlines are now quoting Cruz...the Uniparty has a wedge. I hope it backfires on them all.
I thought Cruz Rubio Kasich at least one would stand for principle. I was wrong. They are all Elites
I've seen at least a dozen Cruz supporters on the forum declare that they're withdrawing their support because of this.
If our little community is any indicator of what's happening all over the country, Ted's got a yuge problem.
You’re an idiot.
I'm sure he doesn't see where he said anything wrong.
In my opinion, we're beginning to see the real Ted Cruz emerge. The whole picture is probably worse than what any of us could have expected.
There are some situations where you DO expect solidarity with political opponents, especially of your own party. This would be one, but that solidarity was not to be found, and speaks volumes of the character of those Republican candidates who have faulted Trump instead of the rioters, MoveOn, People for Bernie and others who have claimed responsibility, and victory. Shame on Cruz/Rubio and Kasich. Disgraceful “men.”
>>>BLM/Moveon.org called his bluff and he folded<<<
How exactly did he fold, by not allowing the Protestors to attack Him and his Supporters inside the Venue as they had planned to?
Imagine the Secret Service Agents being forced to draw their Weapons and possibly Shoot as the crowd of Criminals attempted to attack Trump on Stage.
Would that have made you feel better? Those Protestors are friggin insane just in case you haven’t noticed.
Your TDS is affecting your common sense.
If you needed a textbook example of useful idiot...
Yep. He’ll be doing his typical stuttering backpedal.
That's what's really disturbing about it. It was CLEARLY a coordinated attack on a Trump rally by a cadre of leftists. Instead of calling it what it was Cruz completely took the side of the media and the GOPe and without hardly blinking told a whopper of a lie that Trump was responsible for it. Without even breaking a sweat as he sat there and basically covered for the radical left.
