After Cruz Blamed Trump For Chicago Chaos, Cops & NRA Gave Him Bad News 8 madworldnews


Members of law enforcement aren’t the only ones now withdrawing their support of Ted Cruz. Following his comments on the Chicago incident, prominent conservative and well-known NRA instructor Jan Morgan also withdrew her endorsement of Cruz.

Morgan further explained her decision in a Facebook post, where she said, “His decision to blame Trump for the violence and actions of paid, liberal thugs/protestors in Chicago is unconscionable. Ted Cruz should have used this opportunity to take a stand for free speech. Instead, he sides with the protestors and lies about Trump saying he encourages violence. (Never mind the fact that his own right hand campaign buddy, Glenn Beck, was investigated by Secret Service for joking on air about repeatedly stabbing Trump) (that’s different of course).”

She continues, poignantly expressing her disgust, as she said, “This is the most outrageous and desperate thing I have seen a candidate do in this race. I have made a grave mistake by misreading this man and his character.”

She concluded with a prediction, saying, “Donald Trump will win this nomination in spite of the establishment GOP, in spite of their new boy, Cruz, their old boy, Romney… And, I predict if the GOP establishment tries to jack with the people’s choice, Trump will pull out, run 3rd party, and will still win the general election. Call me enraged tonight.
I can not believe I fell for this act.”

Jan Morgan and law enforcement are not alone in their disappointment over Ted Cruz’s recent actions. As the candidate once thought to have the best moral compass, it’s disheartening to see Cruz sell out, and that’s exactly what he’s done. Instead of standing on the side of what is right, he took advantage of the situation in an attempt to benefit himself. Now, he’s suffering the consequences.

Regardless of anyone’s personal feelings about Trump, what these protesters did is an act of terrorism and an affront to free speech. They used violence to silence Trump supporters. Anyone who approves, dismisses, or excuses such behavior insults our Constitution. Any “leader” willing to play political games with the constitutional rights of Americans, doesn’t deserve the support of conservatives.
