Supporters of Sens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) took to social media to slam the freshman senators for blaming leftists shutting down a Trump Chicago rally on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
“I think a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment, 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 and today is unlikely to be the last such instance. We earlier today in St. Louis over thirty arrested. That’s not how our politics should occur,” Cruz said Friday. “You know, the City of Chicago in 1968 saw some ugly days when politics descended into hatred and incivility and even violence and it is my hope that in 2016 that we can appeal to our better angels and avoid going down that road once again.”
Cruz supporters, incensed by the Texas senator’s blame game, stormed social media to express their anger. Top comments on a Friday Facebook post promoting a Cruz “victory fund” drew furious responses (comments quoted here are unedited):
Jerry Shalow: Cruz you lost my vote for using this protest for your political game. Rubio also. Trump has my vote. How about the violations of the 1st amendment TED!!!!!!! Condone the violence what you just did.
Pappy Beagles: I’m a Texan, I voted for you for the senate, and was supporting you for president, up until you blamed Trump for the savage behavior of Hillary and Bernie supporters in Chicago. I just sent a $100.00 contribution to a billionaire, and i’m retired on a fixed income, so guess this is goodbye to you, and I am now firmly on the Trump wagon.
Gayle Natale: Mr. Cruz, I just listened to your response regarding the protestors who caused

AS it should be.
Yep, retarded GOPee Talk.
Breitbart is seeing that they’re on the wrong side of this.
Turn Coat Teddy Undefender of the First Amendment.
Bump!
No more Harvard law school grads as Potus!
Bill Ayers was also at this protest last night, TERRORIST Bill Ayers, people were seen SPITTING in the faces of cops, saying “F THE POLICE.”
Real Americans understand what’s going on and will shun anti-Constitution scholar Ted Cruz. Let’s be honest, Little Marco and Kasich never had a chance.
In self-defense Cruz you idiot, when they are disrupting a private event.
How I the world can Cruz who is supposedly so brilliant read that so wrong??? It’s unbelievable! The exact wrong position to take. He’s effectively killing his campaign.
I hope Bill Ayers makes it to Cleveland.I’d really like to meet a famous person like him.
Lawyers are trained to argue.
That’s what they do.
Unify? Lead? Govern?
They don’t have those courses at law school.
I wonder if George Soros and MoveOn.org and the paid protesters might be held culpable in any way? This only shows their ignorance, to me.
It is a wonderful thing to read his facebook page after last night.
Cruz and Rubio don’t seem to care much about the 1st Amendment.
Makes you wonder just what the Sea Island meeting that the GOPe had to discuss Trump that was also attended by the left was about. And what Bush had to say the day of the debate when he met with the 3 stooges.
According to Rubio and Cruz thought process Reagan was the cause of the Berkley protests when he ran for office
Infes Ted
Being a veteran, I would love to see a video of Bill Ayers being stomped and walked on just as he stomped and walked on OUR flag....
I’m glad Cruz is being unmasked for the fraud that he is. This election has been instructive in showing us who Really means what they say. I also see that the detestable Levin has been as silent as crickets on social media as well. Another charlatan and coward who can sling arrows but can’t take them.
