Ted Cruz Goes Completely Insane And Claims That Democrats Commit Most Violent Crimes

During an interview with radio host Huge Hewitt, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz went bonkers and claimed that most violent crimes in the US are committed by Democrats.

After host Hugh Hewitt had claimed that he has never met a violent “pro-life” activist, Cruz claimed that most violent criminals are Democrats.

Cruz said:

This whole episode has really displayed the ugly underbelly of media. Every time you have some sort of violent crime or mass killing you can almost see the media salivating. Hoping, hoping desperately that the murderer happens to be a Republican so they can use it to try to paint their political enemies.

Listen, here’s the simple and undeniable fact. The overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats. The media doesn’t report that. Democrats have for years been viewed as soft on crime because they go in, and they appoint to the bench judges who release violent criminals. They go in, and they do what Barack Obama tried to do which is appoint a lawyer who voluntarily represented for free a cop killer to a senior Justice Department position.

Where's he getting his data from?

How does he know the political affiliations of all violent criminals?

I doubt very much that they take time on election days or even know which days those are.

I'm sorry for the profanity but this guy is so full of shit. His comment is clearly a veiled rascist rant and no one is calling him out for this. If there were any semblance of journalism left in this country, this twat would be annihilated for his bullshit. But, sadly, he can spew all the hate and bigotry he wants, while a fraction of the country sits back and nodes their fucktarded heads in agreement

I have been saying for several months now it will be Trump/Cruz 2016. When it happens just shoot me.

His friends just call him "Hugh".

How can someone be that out of touch with reality and be allowed outside?

Should we then assume all MEN are criminals?
