Republican Sen. Ted Cruz did not hold back in recent criticism of the Democratic party, accusing them of supporting political violence and using it to their advantage.
“You know, there ought to be at least three propositions on which all of us can agree,” Cruz began.
“Number one, violent crime is always unacceptable, and should be punished severely. Number two, hate is wrong. And number three, the machinery of the federal government should not be used as a tool to target and persecute your political opponents. All three of those propositions should be ideas that bring us together, regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum. Unfortunately, we see over and over again, efforts to politicize acts of violence.”
Cruz then went on to condemn white supremacy while reminding that it has historically been elected Democrats who led these organizations.
“I do think my colleagues on the Democratic side of the aisle try very hard to erase the history of the Klan, that it was formed by elected Democrats, that its leadership was almost entirely elected Democrats, that the authors of the Jim Crow laws were without exception elected Democrats,” Cruz said.
“And I also think today’s congressional Democrats try to use the charge of ‘white supremacy,’ which is undoubtedly evil, bigoted, and wrong, and weaponized by their own party, they try to use that as a proxy for attacking a political party they disagree with.”
Cruz said that in doing so, Democrats engage in “diminishing anti-Jewish violence, anti-Asian violence, violence directed at white people, violence directed at police.”
“My view is simple: violence is always wrong. Whatever your ideology, left-wing, right-wing, no wings: If you’re seeking to hurt people, it is wrong,” Cruz said.
“Is violence from white supremacist extremist organizations a problem? Absolutely. As is violence from other hate groups. The Brooklyn subway shooter was a known black supremacist who called for racial violence. The Waukesha attacker, who murdered six people driving an SUV into a Christmas parade, was a viciously left-wing black nationalist bigot.”
“2016, another black nationalist gunned down five police officers in Dallas. I was there with President Obama at the funeral for those police officers. He did so on explicitly racial grounds. In 2019, two anti-Semitic domestic terrorists gunned down four people in a kosher grocery store,” he continued.
“San Francisco in the past year has seen a 567% increase in anti-Asian violence. Anti-Jewish hate crimes in New York City are up 148% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.”
“And then, of course, we have the violence of the Antifa riots and the Black Lives Matter riots that racked this country,” Cruz concluded.
“As stores were looted, police cars were firebombed, people were assaulted, people were murdered, my colleagues on the Democratic side of the aisle sought to excuse, sought to apologize for, even went so far as raised money to bail out of jail the violent rioters committing these acts of violence.”
Mr Cruz is definitively stirring the boiling pot, allowing the scum to be revealed.
The left, the socialis1t wanna-be tyrants, sitting in all the levels of government, state, schools, federal postings, elected or not, are all in “flagrante delicto”, meaning, NOT ONE OF THEM is doing the job they were elected,or asked to perform to any level of their possibilities. The1y all should be fired, and asked to reimburse the public for all the monies they STOLE from the public!
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS USED BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE FOREVER. THEY PROMISE THEM A BETTER LIFE ,,,,THE PEOPLE BELIEVE THE B.S. AND WHEN THEIR VOTE PUTS THESE SICKOS INTO OFF ICE NOTHING EBVER CHANGES. THE BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AND TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES AND GO LIVE THE BEST LIFE THEY CAN. THE DEMOCRATS HVE USED PEOPLE TO GET VOTES AND WHEN THEY DO , AND THEY GET INTO OFFICE. LOOK AT HOW THEY TREAT PEOPLE. WHERE IN GOD’S NAME ,HAS ALL THE MONEY TO IMPROVE THESE COMMUNITIES GONE….WHY ARE THERE STILL GHETTOS. I HAVE LIVED LONG ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT THE DEMOCRATS DO TO PEOPLE THEY THINK INFERIOR TO THEMSELVES AND IT IS DISPICABLE. IT IS LIKE TRUMP SAID…..”WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?”
Very truthful . Why do the American people take all their bs . Get them , Pelosi , and Impeach Sleepy Joe Biden , he is Farce for a president . Wake Up America !!!
More of this talk about the Democrat’s hatred of governing their rules and focus is so true and needs more exposure.
Yes Sir, Ted is right on. I have been trying to get this across to people for last 10 years. Study democrats history of voting since the 1800’s to 1960’s they voted down every civil rights bill/legislation the Republicans put on the tables. Ted could not of said this any better he is right on target. Don’t for get about George Swartz Soros the man funding ANTIFA and BLM and all his other evil organizations along with funding left wing liberal judges and DA’s.
There are 99 other Senators on the Hill – every damn one of them should agree and work to eliminate violent crime, hate, and using the federal government to persecute members of the other party. Every Citizen should believe these three points and get rid of any politician who doesn’t act accordingly.
Citizens, if you don’t agree, there are many other countries who encourage violent crime, hate, and political persecution – get the hell out of our country and move to another…
Impeach 46
Let’s Go Brandon
Defund the FBI and the CIA
Hooray forTed Cruz, he laid every thing out there thread bare and the Dems. should tremor at the real truth being thrown right back at them but then again , they have no morals and they have lost heir souls long ago!!! They are the most corrupt bunch of no-nothings, will.lie, steal and ruin anyone’s reputation if you stand in their way!!! We need more Ted Cruz’s to stand up for the people , America and our Constitution!!!! THANKS TED !!!!!!!
I AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL PEOPLE . THEY LIKE TO HATE AN ARE RACIST PEOPLE. THEY ALL NEED TO GOO.
I AGREE WITH EVERY COMMENT HERE.
The democrats have been trying to blame republicans for white supremacy crimes when it is blatantly leftist liberals are the cause. The Democrats have tried to excuse BLM riots on police brutality, but again they will take one incident and blow it all out of proportion. Floyd was a criminal in commission of a crime, he swallowed drugs to hide his drug dealing activities, and died as a result. The democrat propaganda media made him a celebrity after his death. I’m not saying the policeman was in the right so let’s not go there, but Floyd was a known criminal, a drug user and all rhetoric trying to glorify him as an innocent victims is wrong.
THEY DEMOCRATS SIT BACK AND WATCH BLM AND ANTIFA DESTROY CITIES, THE DEMOCRATS THAT “RUN” BIG CITIES……CHICAGO, PHILLY, NEW YORK CITY ETC…..THEY DO NOTHING TO STOP IT AND THEN THEY “BLAME” WHITE SUPREMACISTS……WHAT WAS DONE TO GEORGE FLOYD WAS DEADLY WRONG. BUT TO DESTROY CITIES, KILL BLACK ON BLACK AND THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS..IS SICK AND THE DEMOCRATS LOVE IT. THEY SIT AROUND THEIR COCKTAILS AND LAUGH AND SAY, SEE WE ARE RIGHT, ;ET THEM BURN. WAKE UP PEOPLE. THE DEMCRATS HAVE USED YOU OVER AND OVER AND OVER FOR THEIR POLITICAL GAIN….HOW HAS THAT WORKED FOR YOU?
We need more heroes like Ted Cruz. He has consistently shone no fear in speaking the Truth in either public or private settings. It’s a shame he wasn’t chosen to fill the next open seat on the United States Supreme Court, but Biden wasn’t looking for one or two of the best qualified, which Ted Cruz is, he was only looking for a specific type: female & minority.
No wonder the Supreme Court is losing its prestige. New justices are now only picked on how they look.
As a fellow Texan Senator Cruz is absolutely right about all of it. The “do nothing” democrats always try to separate us on every issue & run down our country anyway they can. As Americans we can not complicate the issues plaguing all our country. We must use common sense & common sense only to solve each & everyone. That’s why republicans taking back the House & the Senate are so imperative & important in Novembers midterms voting. We need serious people in our governments leadership positions at all levels, FBI, CIA, etc., only Republicans, not democrats, they’ve shown all of us time & time again their disdain for The Constitution of the USA. Our children, their children & future generations depend on it. “In God We Trust”.
Looks like the only solution is to ban Democrats from owning guns?
Thank You for all these “HONEST COMMENTS” I agree w/each ! Now “AMERICA & ALL AMERICANS” YOU MUST VOTE EACH & EVERYONE OF THESE “RINOs & DEMs OUT OF OFFICE” TED CRUZ, THANK YOU “YOU ARE A CLASS ACT” GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY, THEY MUST BE SO PROUD!!
LETS US ALL GET RID OF THE GLOBALIST; GATES, SOROS, SCHWAB, OBAMA, PELOSI, SCHIFF
SCHUMER & ANY & ALL CORPORATIONS WHO HAVE GONE WOKE & AGAINST AMERICA.
AMERICA & AMERICANS LOOK WHAT AFRICA DID & THE OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES TO TAKE DOWN THE WHO
STANDUP AMERICA, JESUS IS TOTAL CONTROL OF THIS BS W/CLIMATE, TRUST IN THE LORD W/ALL YOUR HEART
GOD BLESS AMERICA
