"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
And you using that but pushing the much latter incident where Trump had been saying not to hurt protestors and which may have been a set up to push the false claim meme Trump incites violence.
Since you are talking about the latter event but using the earlier statement both you and Cruz dishonestly mixed the two. The Statement was made in the context of self defense, and for that its dishonest to use it to assign blame for the latter event.
No, that was in reference to the 78 year old boy who did punch the protester in the face.
Now I did say that Trump has recently changed his tone. I was trying to give Trump credit for backing away from his original comments. I even stated as much in my posts. That is not being dishonest nor even mixing the two incidents.
Trump’s original statement was NOT made in regards to self defense as there was no self defense involved.
