Sen. Ted Cruz said Wednesday that President Obama has aggravated racial tensions around the country rather than unifying the nation.
"President Obama, when he was elected, he could have been a unifying figure. He could have chosen to be a leader on race relations," Cruz said at a U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce event in Washington. "And he hasnt done that. Hes made decisions that I think have inflamed racial tensions. That have divided us rather than bringing us together."
Cruz cited a comment made by Vice President Joe Biden, who told a crowd in Virginia that Mitt Romney's proposed policies would put people "back in chains."
The Texas Republican was asked about race relations in the U.S. after days of protests, which turned violent Monday night, in Baltimore. People took to the streets after the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died of a severe spinal injury April 19 while in police custody.
