Ted Cruz: LeBron James Tweet Attacking Ohio Cop Pattern of Left Demonizing Police Officers

‘I think it was a grossly irresponsible message for Lebron James to send out’

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "Well, you know, unfortunately, this is a pattern where the left consistently goes after, attacks and demonizes police officers. And they do so often before the facts are known, often before there is any evidence of what happened, but their immediate reaction, whenever there is an incident, is that police officer is in the wrong, the police officer is the villain. In this instance, 'You’re next' could certainly be interpreted by some even as a call for violence. And I think it was a grossly irresponsible message for LeBron James to send out. And we've now seen the body cam footage from what occurred, and by any measure it was a volatile situation, the woman who was killed was wielding a knife, was violent, appeared to be threatening the lives of others. It may well be on an investigation that this police officer saved the life of a potential victim of a knife attack. And we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. There needs to be an investigation. Any time there is a shooting that takes someone’s life, it should be investigated. The facts should be determined, but the left doesn’t care about the facts, they care about demonizing and attacking law enforcement and I think it's wrong."
