Cruzs response to bomb threats illustrates how Republicans are complete frauds about civility

On the heels of reports that bombs had been sent to the Clintons, President Obama, CNN, and others on Wednesday morning, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took to Twitter to denounce incivility in politics.

Violence is never OK. Reports of bombs being sent to the homes of Obama, Clinton, and Soros are deeply, deeply disturbing, Cruz wrote. America is better than this. Political disagreements are fine, even healthy, but we should always be civil and respect each others humanity.

During a campaign rally less than 24 hours earlier, however, Cruz joked about the extrajudicial imprisonment of both Beto ORourke the Democratic candidate running against him for a Texas U.S. Senate seat and Hillary Clinton.

After one of his supporters yelled lock him up! in reference to ORourke, Cruz quipped that Well, you know, theres a double-occupancy cell with Hillary Clinton, adding, yall are gonna get me in trouble with that.

The disconnect between what Cruz said on Tuesday and what he tweeted on Wednesday illustrates how Republicans dont have a leg to stand on when it comes to denouncing incivility in politics.

On Monday, Cruz rallied with President Trump, who has spent years demonizing Hillary Clinton by encouraging his supporters to chant for her extrajudicial imprisonment, and who less than a week ago directly and publicly encouraged violence against journalists.

Many of the prominent liberals reportedly targeted by bombs in recent days including Clintons, Obamas, liberal philanthropist George Soros have been directly been targeted for abuse by Trump as recently as this week.

Someone makes a joke about something, while condemning it when being serious? Shit man, that should be a capital offence.

If Texans don't understand that Cruz is likely the biggest piece of shit in their state by this point they have no hope.

Cruz has no value because he is both evil and ugly.

I'd give this a serious reply, but this topic will probably be purged by the time you get off suspension

Idk Proudclad do you think it's good for democracy when one side keeps "joking" about wanting to put their opponents in jail cells? What did Beto even do wrong to begin with?

I don't even like Ted Cruz (actually, he's the politician I hate most right next to Alexandria Cortez). But this is a pretty blatant reach to stir the pot and get clicks.

Why are you a Trump supporter when you get butthurt at people stretching the truth? Unreal levels of cognitive dissonance, that.

Yep. I am crying. Sorry if I take an attack on the government as a sad promise of things to come instead of trolling about it on a message board.

Shame on you and your ilk. Shame on you.

If liberals were locked up with no due process or habeus corpus no Republican politician or voter would care. They only care about winning and nothing about following the rules.
