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, heres the simple and undeniable fact. The overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats. The media doesnt 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.

(16,858 posts)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
