Ted Cruz: Trump is like a Mobster with a Pattern of Inciting Violence


Ted Cruz continued his harsh attacks against Donald Trump this week, and these attacks may the the harshest yet:

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz significantly escalated his attacks against Donald Trump on Wednesday, portraying the billionaire as a spoiled thug running an incompetent campaign.

“Donald needs to stop threatening the voters. He needs to stop threatening the delegates. He is not a mobster,” Cruz told Glenn Beck during a radio interview. The interview came after Trump supporters allegedly made death threats made against the Colorado GOP chairman following Cruz’s victory there and Trump ally Roger Stone’s insistence that he will release the names and hotel room info of anti-Trump delegates at the Republican convention.

“Roger Stone is threatening in Cleveland to put out the hotel room of any delegate that dare crosses Donald Trump,” Cruz said. “That is the tactic of union thugs. That is violence. It is oppressive. The idea that Donald is threatening delegates we’re seeing this pattern over and over again.”

“Donald Trump now has a consistent pattern of inciting violence,” Cruz said.

“Donald needs to understand he’s not Michael Corleone,” Cruz said, a reference to The Godfatherfilms. “I understand Donald has had some very shady business deals with people who are currently in prison…but the presidency should not be la cosa nostra.”

From there, Cruz went on to repeatedly psychoanalyze Trump with a mixture of ridicule and scorn.

“Donald loves attacking women. Because I guess it makes him feel strong to attack women,” Cruz said, bringing up Trump’s threat to “spill the beans” on his wife Heidi and a picture Trump tweeted that disparaged her appearance.

And commenting on Trump’s upbringing, he said, “I think Donald has been surrounded by sycophants his entire business career. He was born into great wealth and privilege. His father was a real estate baron. At every when he told a joke everyone in the room laughed, whether it was funny or not you had to laugh.”

“Look at the humiliation he inflicts on people like Chris Christie.”

See the video below to hear Cruz make the accusations himself. If you think the attacks are vicious now, just imagine how intense they will become in the weeks leading to the now-likely brokered convention. This is likely just the beginning of one of the most epic battles in political history.
