Did you even read what Sen Cruz ACTUALLY said?

“I will say this: Protesters have no right to engage in violence,” Mr. Cruz told reporters in Illinois, also saying the protesters have no right to threaten violence or shout down other speakers.

“The First Amendment gives every one of us a right to speak, but we don’t have a right to silence others,” he said. “And to the extent these protesters are organized leftist groups, whether it’s Black Lives Matter or Bernie Sanders or George Soros, or some other moveon.org leftist group, they’re simply trying to terrorize political speech.”

“That is not their right. It is wrong, and we need to stand against it,” Mr. Cruz said.

Sen Cruz also called Trump out for not being more Presidential. “But I think also in any campaign, the responsibility starts at the top and it is not beneficial when you have a candidate, like Donald Trump, who’s telling his protesters, ‘Punch that guy in the face.’ You know, I mean, I don’t think you should be encouraging people to violence

Yes I did read it. he KNEW like you do now the context was self defense where a violent thug was trying to hurt people. So Your implication is Trump is inciting to violence whe the fact is its supporting the right of self defense, Both you aand Cruz need to read the Constitution. In self defense you do not bend over for the attacker.
