Ted Cruz said Thursday that those who contributed to the rise of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will have to "bear that responsibility going forward."
Cruz appeared Thursday evening on the Houston-based "Michael Berry Show" and was asked whether he thought he was treated fairly in the GOP primary, with the host mentioning Fox News.
"Well listen, there's time for recriminations and you know, everyone who was responsible for the rise of Donald Trump, they will bear that responsibility going forward," Cruz responded.
"But there were more than a few players that played a disproportionate role in that rise," he added. "I'm going to focus, instead of looking backwards, I'm going to focus on looking forwards."
Cruz returned to Capitol Hill on Tuesday for the first time since dropping out of the GOP race but declined to endorse Trump, who is working to shore up support from establishment Republicans.
"I think we left it all on the field," Cruz said Thursday. "My one regret is that we came up short."
Cruz said he'll address the Texas GOP convention Saturday afternoon.
"The biggest message I'm going to say is simply 'thank you,'" Cruz said.
He'll rally Republicans with a message that "although the results may not have been as we wanted, that together we started a movement and this movement will continue."
Cruz said he wasn't sure if he'd address the national GOP convention in Cleveland in July, but he indicated he planned to attend out of an obligation to the some 600 delegates he won during the primary.
"I don't know if I'll have a role at the convention or not, but I'll certainly be there cheering on the delegates," he said.
Gladly, Ted. Gladly.
Will this guy EVER go away?
Actually, the responsibility belongs to those who have bolstered the Republican wing of the Uni-Party.
Ted “I hate the voters” Cruz.
FUTC
Here's the Canadian-born son of a Cuban National and Mother who became a Canadian citizen in the late 60s giving the thumbs up with the eeeeevil Donald J. Trump early in the 2016 presidential race.
Good grief, will this GLOBALIST fraud ever shut up?
Somebody get the hook, please, and yank him OFF THE STAGE.
Guaranteed future prediction:
If Trump loses. Cruz will claim, he would have won.
If Trump wins. Cruz will claim, that anyone could have beaten Hillary and we missed our chance to elected a true conservative.
I got your responsibility hangin, cruz
Some people believe this guy belongs on the S.C. I’m not seeing it.
This guy has some serious issues. Judge Judy would be an easy pick over this guy.
GO-AWAY-TEAD!
Talk about sore losermen.....
I hear Canada is nice this time of year.
Ted Cruz stands for everything this site stands for. Good try TC. You naysayers ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Oh, here we go again. Teddy...go get some anger management or better yet, go home to your wife, and get......just shut up and suck it up like a man!
Just saying.
OK so is Cruz threatening the millions who voted? How will they "bear that responsibility"? Will he send out his acolytes to bring vengeance? Or will he rather roll up his sleeves and help defeat HC?
