While left wing media outlets were rushing to paint the murder at Planned Parenthood as a hit job done by extreme pro-life advocates, one man who would be president wouldn’t stand for it. Texas Senator Ted Cruz. As HuffPo reports:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) downplayed the role anti-abortion rhetoric may have played in the fatal shooting of three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado and suggested the suspect was a “transgendered leftist activist” at a campaign stop in Iowa on Sunday.
Speaking with reporters following the event, Cruz rejected suggestions that the shooter was part of the anti-abortion movement, taking issue with the “vicious rhetoric on the left blaming those who are pro-life.”
Robert Lewis Dear, 57, was taken into custody Friday night after allegedly opening fire inside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, killing three and injuring nine others.
When a reporter reminded the Texas senator that the suspect allegedly made a comment about “baby parts” while being arrested, Cruz countered, “It’s also been reported that he was registered as an independent and a woman and transgendered leftist activist, if that’s what he is.”
As is typical of the left, if a Muslim identifying as a Muslim claims to commit a crime in the name of Allah, it has nothing to do with Islam. If a white guy with a gun shoots someone without offering any justification, it’s immediately “far right terrorism.” What a bizarro world. Good on Ted Cruz for telling it like it is.
