Sen. Ted Cruz Blasts White Nationalists in Charlottesville as ‘Idiots’

 Sen. Ted Cruz laid into the white nationalists who descended on Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend, blasting them Wednesday as "idiots."

"The Nazis and Klansmen and white supremacists who gathered there — they're racists, they're bigots, they're idiots," Cruz said before a town hall in Katy, Texas. "And they're spreading lies."

Cruz, R-Texas, was one of the first elected officials on Saturday to implore the Justice Department to investigate the horrific car-ramming that killed one of the counter-protesters, Heather Heyer, calling the killing a "grotesque act of domestic terrorism." ...

Well they aren't exactly geniuses.

Inbreeding for purity will do that.

[dfwgator]

Oh, I think some of them knew exactly what they were doing.   

Mind you, I'm not saying all of them.   

[Right_in_Virginia]

No one's arguing with you Senator, so this is easy.  Tell us what you think of Antifa and BLM.

@libertybele

You're right.  I've never heard Ted Cruz talk about the left.  I'd really like to hear what he thinks about them.

When the Truth comes out and it's "safe" to talk about the left, then they'll say they knew it all along.  Gutless wonders all of them.

I see TOS is back to Lyin' Cruznadian C*ck Tool POS Ted, lol.

@dfwgator

Yes, exactly what I was saying.  Cruz has long been known for his gutlessness and his fear of taking stands.  For once, he needs to tell us what he thinks about the left.

??? What about the alt-left Ted ??? Aren't they idiots as well??

I can think of a few other things to call them, too.

[TomSea]

Senator Cruz is really going out on a limb here.

Its really funny watching people declare how bravely Trump stands up to those wanting to tear down all the confederate symbolism when the reality is that he doesn't support keeping them. What they're choosing to believe is the lie that the left is telling them and Trump is happy to oblige and let them believe.

After the Charleston church shooting....

Donald Trump tees off on the Confederate flag

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-tees-off-on-the-confederate-flag/

"I think they should put it in the museum and let it go," Trump said of the flag during an appearance at his new golf course in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. "Respect whatever it is you have to respect, because it was a point in time, and put it in a museum. But I would take it down. Yes."

You can buy a Trump/confederate flag outside a Trump rally but don't try flying it inside.

At a Donald Trump Rally, a Confederate Flag Goes Up, and Quickly Comes Down

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/12/us/politics/confederate-flag-trump-rally.html

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — About an hour before Donald J. Trump was set to address a large crowd here on Thursday, Brandon Partin, a Trump supporter, draped a Confederate flag over the front rail just to the right of the stage.

But the flag didn’t remain up for long. As Sharon Day, a co-chairman of the Republican National Committee, delivered her introductory remarks, a campaign staff member and the local police moved to remove the flag.

Three police officers stood on the floor tugging gently at the flag, indicating that it had to come down. Mr. Partin, 27, grew irritated that he had to remove it. He had just purchased the flag outside the event, and “Trump 2016” was printed on it.

Then there is the cognitive dissonance of those who realized that Trump took the PC stance but bravely did it despite what people might think.....or something.

How the Rebel Flag Rose Again—and Is Helping Trump

“I’m voting for him despite that [his statement about the flag],” says Boone. “The reason I’ll vote for Trump is probably the reason I feel most of the country is going to vote for him: They’re sick of the political correctness. We’re so worried about the minority getting their feelings hurt, with the flag, with transgender bathrooms and all that. Sometimes, the minority has to understand that their feelings get hurt too, and majority rules most of the time.”     

BTW, the Cruz campaign took the correct federalist stance and declared it to be an issue for the people of South Carolina to decide.

And Cruz did all that without even mentioning Trump.  How refreshing.

There's a misconception that anyone fighting fascism, NAZI ism, racism are assumed to be good people whose motives should never be questioned. Too many people fall into that trap. But groups like ANTIFA would and have crushed any dissent as quickly and violently as the groups they fight

If Hitler had never come to power we might very well look at him as a clownish side note in history while seeing Ernst Thälmann as the man who killed millions so he could give Europe to Stalin.
