Ted Cruz asks Justice Department to investigate Charlottesville crash as domestic terrorism
Washington Examiner ^ | August 12, 2017 | Kyle Feldscher

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz wants the Department of Justice to investigate Saturday's attack that killed one woman in Charlottesville, Va. as an incident of domestic terrorism.

In a statement released Saturday night, Cruz called the incident "tragic and heartbreaking" and said the Justice Department must be involved immediately.

"The Nazis, the KKK, and white supremacists are repulsive and evil, and all of us have a moral obligation to speak out against the lies, bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred that they propagate," Cruz said in a statement.

"Having watched the horrifying video of the car deliberately crashing into a crowd of protesters, I urge the Department of Justice to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act domestic terrorism."

I really despise Ted Cruz. All those Commie Antifa attacks on Trump supporters and he says nothing. Now that Antifa gets run down while blocking the street he’s all over it.

He may not be a terrorist, but he is a murderer,

Big problem: You don't know if he was a murderer since his windshield was already damaged before his initial ram, and he is quite clearly attacked after the ram. There's a high probability it was panic after having his car attacked.

Second problem: we're not sure if it's "murder" to run over BLM and ANTIFA people. It might be a misdemeanor.

There is still that Glenn Beck need to patronize and show that he is a good-hearted pol. Whether handing out teddy bears to illegals or attacking Trump for riling folks up ole Ted likes sucking up to the trendy set.

Here’s hoping Sessions will uncover the subversive relationship between white supremacists and Soros, antifa, and blm.

“He may not be a terrorist, but he is a murderer, and there is no value standing by him, no matter what his motivations were.”

Fine, but why play right into the hands of the Rats?

Charlottesville was staged and paid-for agit prop. Trump wins too much for the Deep State Elites so they had to stage some “racist” conflict, and innocent people got hurt. Apparently they were bull horning people into the danger area where the car planned to plough through.

Ted “vote your conscience!” Cruz betrays his own Bushbot deep state creds by chiming in.

They always give themselves away.

Ted Cruz wrote Bush’s pro Amnesty papers in the early 2000’s.

He’s a deep state RINO with a good deep state cover act.

Fooled Sarah Palin back in the day until Cruz’s people lashed out at her when she supported Trump.

That will never happen. It is too simple.

Plus, it might not advance the agendas of those who intend to exploit this event.

However, he might say some interesting things, from "Allahu Akbar!" to "My accelerator just got stuck." I'd like to hear what he says.

How can we take a car crash incident, for which we still don’t know all the facts, and immediately call it terrorism??

But on the other hand, any similar act committed by a Moslem, we are implored not to jump to conclusions about the nature of the attack, the motivations of the perpetrator, etc.

"Fine, but why play right into the hands of the Rats?"

The fine posters are falling into the rat trap, defending this idiot. Cruz is smart, and knows the way out is to get in front, and call him a terrorist and move on. Feel free to throw in ANTIFA in the terrorist pool as well. But to refuse to call this guy a terrorist is the trap because then you can painted as defending him. Dems are already ahead on this issue, and you can see that's the tactic they are using.

It’s much easier to simply label these things acts of terrorism than to address what they really are, acts of civil war.

Can we have the trial first before branding him a terrorist? We don’t know all the of circumstances yet.

Except the ones bought and paid for—the several propagandists and bundlers—there is no one else around here pimping Lyn’ Ted.

“This guy is a mess”

It takes a special kind of psychopathology to run in an American presidential race while being canadian.

Antifa = Marxist
KKK = Democrat Socialist
Alt Right? No such thing

The leftist media does a few things very well and one is defining the enemy. The enemy of the Marxist Socialist is the tax paying, American who voted for Trump.

2 dead Troopers tonight while antifada Socialist Marxists fought Democrat Duke and his small group of KKK fascists.

Cruz could have defined the left tonight by calling out the media and trying to define the “alt right as KKK”. There is no such thing as Alt Right except God Fearing Christians that believe in this Republic!

Yet, tax paying Americans being defined by the media with no representation by our Crongressmen and Senators is par for the course.

I learned how to make a bullet today.

God Speed and God Bless Trump and the hereos who died in the sky today watching that liberal mess.

This is the final straw for me with Cruz. I wanted to support him, but he has now fully proven himself to be a slippery pandering coward. This is the same Cruz, who promotes himself as the champion of limited government and the Constitution. Yet, he ignores the violence perpetrated by the leftist mobs and so shamefully fails to stand up for freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. What did the Left think was going to happen when it looks highly likely that they setup and deliberately instigated Saturday’s violence?! The Left and scumbags like Cruz have blood on their hands.
