Ted Cruz: America Is Better Than This

By Marc Giller  |  August 14, 2017, 10:37am  |  @MarcGiller

In the wake of the horrific events in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend, there was the usual slew of hot takes as partisans across the spectrum engaged in the all-too-familiar ritual of trying to wring cheap political points out of a tragedy.  On the left, it was typically some variant of how Donald Trump’s harsh rhetoric set the stage for all this, and how all conservatives need to take their share of the blame for an ascendant white supremacy movement.  The right, meanwhile, retreated to pointing fingers at Antifa for ratcheting up the political violence, and blaming the news media for turning the other way and aggravating an already tense situation.

White Supremacists Will Not Tear America Apart. We’re Better Than This.

 Sen. Ted Cruz  / @SenTedCruz / August 13, 2017

It’s tragic and heartbreaking to see hatred and racism once again mar our great nation with bloodshed.

Heidi’s and my prayers are with the loved ones of those killed and injured in the ongoing violence in Charlottesville.

The First Amendment protects the rights of all Americans to speak their minds peaceably, but violence, brutality, and murder have no place in a civilized society.

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.
