Ted Cruz slams Dems after Antifa hearing: 'They want to encourage these radical leftists'
Democrats are "facilitating" riots and violence in major U.S. cities and encouraging "radical leftists" who are threatening Americans, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Tuesday evening on "Hannity," discussing a contentious Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing earlier in the day.
"What's happening, unfortunately, is not free speech," Cruz said, "and those who are peaceably protesting are seeing their protests hijacked by violent anarchists, by Marxists who are engaged in acts of terror.
"At the end of the day, none of this is complicated," he added. "Don't assault your fellow citizens. Don't firebomb a police car. Don't loot and destroy small businesses. Don't murder police officers."
The hearing later took a turn for the worse when a combative Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, addressed Cruz after he completed a 10-minute speech in which she told him Democrats denounce violence and complained Cruz wasn’t listening. Hirono walked out after the exchange. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON OUR TOP STORY
