This is quite stunning even for a politician as low as Ted Cruz. Senator Cruz has a prime opportunity to highlight the intolerance of the left. Instead he choses to attack Donald Trump:
At a media availability in Chicago, Ted Cruz basically blamed Donald Trump for the violence and protests that occurred earlier in the day at a Donald Trump rally at the University of Illinois-Chicago.

The Ted shine has worn off.
He said the tone of the campaign rests at the top - the candidate. He said Trump’s speech is responsible for the Chicago unrest.
Then he went on to do a full campaign speech.
He was my second choice. NO MORE. I will never vote for him. He is an opportunist pure and simple.
Parsing is a liberal trick. The Environment was opposing the ruling class. The Statements of self defense Trump has said were made in the context of where good Americans were defending themselves from violent leftist thugs who started it.
Cruz knows this, you know this. So stop parroting the Establishment lie. This was organized by the people we have to stop to save the country.
Rev. Cruz only wishes he had 15 people go to his rallies.
The anarchists chose the Trump rally because there are actually lots of people at a Trump rally. It makes the headlines.
If they disrupted a Cruz rally, would anyone know?
Since the field narrowed, I’ve tried my best to avoid going to far on cruz. I’ve always disliked his skunkish ways but agreed with him on most issues. But last night’s display...wow. He really does not get me. To give any quarter or comfort to a horde of invaders who would love to twist a knife in any of us is dispicable. No wonder his daughter tried to get away from him. Kids see the truth more than we think.
>>> Cruz didn’t say Trump was responsible for the violence. He said Trump was responsible for creating a negative atmosphere
I call it a yeah-buttal, as in “YEAH, those protesters should not have done it, BUT Trump had it coming.”
Despicable.
These thugs will never appear at a Cruz or Rubes rally because they do not pose a threat to changing anything. That is abundantly clear.
I agree. One thing that I hope The Donald does is ratchet up the exposure of all of these groups and the real damage they are causing to the middle class, and stop with the sophomoric attacks, there are plenty of legitimate things to call these slimy weasels out on that will resonate...

How do you change these people, you don’t, you have to defeat them.
Actually, you are agreeing with Ted Cruz. You would know that if you had listened to his statement.
But Alinskyites do what you have done. Were you an Alinskyite before becoming a Trumpite?
I guess that puts Ted Cruz squarely in the Bill Ayers camp !!!
...First they came for Trump ! ...
Cruz has already been exposed as a sleaze. I admit he had me on his side once but no longer. Even Rubio came out in defense of Trump. Rubio is a better man than Cruz will ever be......
Cruz didn’t say Trump was responsible for the violence. He said Trump was responsible for creating a negative atmosphere.”
Kind of like: “I’m not saying that she’s responsible for having just been raped, I’m saying that her short dress created an atmosphere that drove others to rape her.”
Even stupider is the Cruzers trying to defend it. Its like blaming the rape victim for the way she dressed and not the rapist.
Ted Cruz is a lying Piece of sh*t.
#NeverCruz
One of the black thugs is actually running for a political seat on a “nonviolence” slogan.
You can’t make this up.
Cruzers trying to defend it is like blaming the rape victim for the way she dressed and not the rapist
And they did. The handwriting is on the wall, see many more of these including in Cleveland.
Cruz is a leftist establishment punk @$$ and deserves to be voted out of the Senate for this. Anyone that supports him at this point supports the left obviously. Anything to win.
Nope. That’s a waffle and Ted is ABSOLUTELY blaming Trump. There is no campaign of “condoning violence” and I was at a rally where Trump patiently waited for protesters to be removed.
Ted is disgusting. He just sided with Soros and BLM.
