Ted Cruz Blames Obama For Ambush Murder Of Harris County Texas Deputy

Well....you knew it was coming.

Thanks, Obama

-------------------------------



While campaigning in New Hampshire, Texas Senator Ted Cruz accused Barack Obama of inciting the ambush murder of Harris County Deputy Darren Gofourth. Gofourth was shot 15 times while pumping gas in Houston Texas Friday evening.

Senator Cruz tried to exploit the murder to score political points with Republicans, by assigning blame to President Obama. The Texas Senator lashed out, saying:

Cops across this country are feeling the assault. They’re feeling the assault from the president, from the top on down, as we see — whether it’s in Ferguson or Baltimore, the response from senior officials, the president or the attorney general, is to vilify law enforcement. That’s wrong. It’s fundamentally wrong. It’s endangering all of our safety and security.

I have ever seen. Even above Snotty Scotty Walker. The smugness, the smirkiness, the sheer arrogance are all profoundly infuriating.
