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.

Hmmmmm. Let’s see. ‘68 riots? Oh, I was kinda busy defending the country about that time to protect peoples rights to assemble.
Me too.
No, no! Of course Cruz never said it! You’re right, you’re right... [warily steps toward the exit]
No, for the umpteenth time, he laid the blame completely at the feet of the rioters. Check the video.
Go look at the video instead of taking The Don’s word for it.
Crux CLEARLY says that the blame rests with the protesters. He says that directly before he talks about Trump.
But you don’t want to know or hear that, do you?
Contrary to what the Trumpist-media complex is claiming, here is what the video shows Ted Cruz ACTUALLY saying:
1. The blame for the violence in Chicago lies squarely with the protesters.
2. There seems to be a culture of violence around the Trump campaign, as demonstrated by incident after incident.
He’s right. Once or twice, you might be an innocent victim. When something keeps showing up, it’s you.
For the umpteenth time, despite what you Trumpkins keep insisting, TED CRUZ DID NOT BLAME TRUMP FOR THE VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO. Period. Full stop.
And for that, Loser Cruz, I am voting for Trump in the FL primary.
Thanks.
....and I heard what he said.
Now, now, calm down. We don’t want another Cruz nut going violent...
Heh — thanks for that!
Saw your new term coinage, and couldn’t help myself!

Thank you so much for clarifying that. The concept of patriotic courage is not in order here.
We should not ban muslims. We should not offend the leftist Brown Shirts who might raid a political rally. We should respect their view point and allow them to trash such rallies with vulgarities.
Or we should avoid such public rallies altogether. Hide from the leftist Brown Shirts.
It's all about PATRIOTIC COURAGE.
The police should have used rubber bullets, batons, and tasers on those leftist brown shirts.
I also have to question a commander in chief who lacks patriotic courage.
Policial correctness has NEUTERED PATRIOTISM.
I feel a vanity piece coming up.
FRegards ....

I spent 25 years in the military. I’ve been shot at many times. I don’t need some Internet weenie telling me about patriotism or courage.
Trump should not encourage violence. Period. That is not how things are done in America.
The protesters should ALL have been arrested. He has every right to pursue charges against them and anyone who sponsored them. But he does NOT have the right to tell his audience to beat up anyone who protests.
He also might want to learn that someone who treats all of his opponents with loathing and hatred, calling them liars and making false accusations, cannot then call for sympathy when others treat him badly. Although I’m sure his sycophants feel otherwise.
Actually, yes he does. They just don't have the right to do it.
I totally agree with your posting; however, expecting decency from the wicked is an exercise in futility.
Yes but it's OK. You encouraged his violence with your inflammatory free speech.
