Exclusive: Cops Fear for Ted Cruz's Safety As They Offer To Step Up Protection For Senator
Daily Mail UK ^ | 14:35 EST, 21 July 2016 | By Geoff Earle, Deputy U.s. Political Editor For Dailymail.com In Cleveland, Ohio

Posted on 07/21/2016 2:36:31 PM PDT by drewh

The U.S. Capitol Police have offered to provide additional security protection for Texas Senator Ted Cruz following angry confrontations on the floor of the GOP convention in Cleveland, a law enforcement source tells DailyMail.com. The offer of extra protection came hours after Cruz left the Quicken Loans Arena Wednesday night being subjected to taunts and boos after he refused to endorse Donald Trump and instead urged Americans to vote their 'conscience.' His wife, Heidi Cruz, had to be hustled out of the arena by a Cruz supporter fearful for her security. Cruz addressed Texas delegates Thursday morning and got furious blowback from Trump supporters and even some of his own backers, as they yelled out at him and demanded answers for why he wouldn't endorse Trump outright. When he appeared, Cruz was flanked by two security agents who stood guard and kept a close eye on delegates decked out in white cowboy hats and red, white, and blue outfits.

It wasn't immediately known whether Cruz had accepted the offer. The Capitol Police routinely provide extra security for some senators and representatives including some who receive specific threats. Cruz, however, already employs his own security protection detail. The force also contracts with local undercover police and civilian professionals to protect lawmakers deemed to be under threat. Cruz previously had protection provided by the U.S. Secret Service, but had to give it up when he was no longer a presidential candidate after he dropped out of the race following his loss in Indiana. One Republican lawmaker, asked by DailyMail.com about whether Cruz needed to get more security, responded, 'He's intentionally placed himself in this position and sometimes martyrs choose to do this and I think we ought to work together as a team.'

“Report from here in Cleveland re: mood about Cruz.

He has become a non-entity, a virtual non-person, in 24 hours.

He could not sponsor “April is Peach Month” legislation and get it passed in DC!”

Sounds like an appropriate market correction on a grossly inflated stock.

When Ted attacks the Clintoons, NOI, BLM, Black Panthers, Isis and the rats in Congress on a regular basis, he might need some protection.

We don’t violently attack people like those mentioned above.

Don’t worry, teddy...you’re safe from us. We are enjoying watching you implode too much. The only thing you have to fear is you, your stupidity and those who paid you to stop Trump. The later could be a threat to your safety.

“Rush made his greatest fame and fortune while Clinton was in office. He would have little to spout off about if we had a successful president who loved America. Rush is salivating to get another Clinton in office.”

Follow the money and cui bono, who benefits?

Oh please more fake Cruz drama... This sounds like something Glenn Beck came up with. Cruz destroyed himself last night. If there was fruit last night, then the audience would have thrown it at Cruz.

For the record in 4 years Cruz will still not be qualified. He was born in Canada.

I don’t think his safety is at issue, but I’m sure he will be getting a serious case of shunning.

Ted Cruz needs protection from himself.

So does his BFF, Glenn Beck.
