Cruz Blames Trump For Chicago: Urging Supporters To Punch People Gets A Predictable Result [VIDEO]

Breitbart readers are furious with Cruz’s reaction:



Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz appeared in a western suburb of Chicago only moments after it was confirmed that GOP frontrunner Donald Trump had canceled his downtown Chicago rally due to a threat of mob violence.

Cruz said the “anger and rage” came from the top of the campaign. Without saying Donald Trump’s name, Cruz continued saying Trump’s campaign has “created an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discord.”

Cruz spent a few minutes speaking off the cuff to the press before he took the podium to speak at the annual Northwest Suburban Lincoln Day Dinner held in the western suburbs about 25 miles outside Chicago.

“I think a campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment, when the candidate urges supporters to engage in physical violence–to punch people in the face. The predictable consequence of that is that it escalates and today is unlikely to be the last such instance,” Cruz said in a sorrowful tone.
