Cruz was right. Cruz wasn’t talking about 1st Amendment rights per se’. He was talking about leadership and accountability. Leaders are responsible for the tone they set and the message they convey. Trump tells his people to rough up those that disagree with him and he’ll cover legal fees. Of course, he’s backing away from that now...but he did say it. We must set the example for a respect for the rule of law, because we know that the Left will not do that.
By the way, Sen. Cruz was clear that the protesters were very much wrong for their conduct too....those like you who whine about Criz critique of Trumpaloompa seem to gloss over that.
Sorry Greg, but you struck out there.
Trump made two or three comments in nine months.
Countless times he urged his followers to be nice to the people being ushered out. Do you address that? No. You pick the two or three times...
Why did he say what he said two of those times?
1. A protester was swinging at Trump supporters, so he said to deck the guy. Who wouldn’t?
2. A rumor had been told to Trump that someone was going to try to toss tomatoes at him. He urged the crowd to be on the lookout, and clobber anyone trying it.
On another occasion Trump did address how violent protesters would have been treated in times past. IMO, that’s how they should be treated now too. I don’t support what went on last Friday night.
This is what you consider to be wishing ill on all his protesters?
Get with the program and quit being such a media nancy boy on this issue.
