Cruz: Trump campaign ‘encourages violence’
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says Donald Trump has created a toxic environment at rallies with a campaign that “affirmatively encourages violence.”
Speaking to reporters in Chicago on Friday night, Cruz made it clear that he believed that “protesters who took violence into their own hands” were responsible for shutting down Trump’s rally that night, according to the New York Times.
“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.”
