Sen. Ted Cruz on George Floyd Protests: ‘Rioting Should Not Be Tolerated’

‘We need strong leadership from the president, the attorney general, governors, mayors, police chiefs’

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: “Every American has a right to speak and to peaceably express your freedom to speech. What you don’t have a right to do is engage in violent rioting. What you don’t have a right to do is loot. You don’t have a right to do is light police cars on fire and attack your fellow citizens. And we need law enforcement to be unequivocal that if you do that, you will be arrested, you will be prosecuted and you will spend a very long time in jail. And we also need systematic law enforcement targeting Antifa and other terrorist groups that are organizing, that are providing assistance. This is a terrorist assault on our country and rioting cannot be tolerated, it needs to end and it needs to end now."
