Are you really that clueless? I guess I give Cruz voters too much credit, because more often than not, I think they're lying, but they actually turn out to be low information.

Here's the entire quote that someone LIED TO YOU ABOUT when they truncated it.

Earlier today over thirty people were arrested at one rally. And then tonight as violence broke out the rally was canceled altogether. Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands. But in any campaign responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that’s facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord.

He blamed Trump for the violence and he did it repeatedly after that. Period.

That is not blaming Trump for the violence of the protesters. These are two distinct, though related, matters: 1) the violence of the protesters, for which they are responsible, and 2) Trump’s unwise comments (punching in the face, paying legal bills, etc.), for which he is responsible.

Trump’s rhetoric is sophomoric but he’s not to blame specifically for the violence at his rallies. Any candidate could be targeted by moveon.org

What Trump is responsible for is his response to the protests and violence.

Trump has never renounced the supporter that sucker punched the protester in NC even after the supporter said next time he should kill the protester.

Instead Trump is thinking about paying for that supporters legal defense.

Where are the stories about that? That’s the news worthy story.
