CRUZ: LEFT USING CHARLOTTESVILLE TO LABEL GOP AS \u2018CRAZY, RACIST NUTBAGS\u2019<\/h1>\n

Rally exploited to push racial divide<\/h2>\n

The Democrats and the mainstream media are seizing the issues surrounding the violence in Charlottesville to depict Republicans and conservatives as \u201ccrazy, racist nutbags,\u201d says Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe media and the Democrats, to the surprise of no one, [are] demagoguing this issue and using it for political advantage,\u201d Cruz\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in a radio interview Tuesday on the Mark Davis Show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the media\u2019s telling, they want to tar and feather any Republican, any conservative, and paint us as these crazy, racist nutbags.\u201d<\/p>\n

Violence erupted Saturday between white nationalists and Antifa in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the former group was protesting the removal of a statue of Civil War general Robert E. Lee.<\/p>\n

One woman died and 19 others were injured after 20-year old James Alex Fields plowed a car into a group of Antifa counter-protesters amid the chaos.<\/p>\n

A number of Republican leaders decried the violence and issued strong statements against the \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally, including Cruz, who called the \u201cwhite supremacists\u2026repulsive and evil.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tragic and heartbreaking to see hatred and racism once again mar our great Nation with bloodshed,\u201d Cruz\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0on Saturday, adding that the car attack should be investigated by the Justice Department as \u201cdomestic terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unconvinced by these sensible remarks, the corporate media continued to demonize Republicans as racists over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry to be cynical, but most of Rubio and Ted Cruz to me seem mostly to be doing a tremendous job of posturing for 2020,\u201d\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0New York Times reporter Eric Lipton on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Cruz fired back at Lipton in kind.<\/p>\n

\u201cGosh, you\u2019re right. Because Nazis & the Klan have such love for Cuban-Americans. If only we worked for a paper that shilled for Stalin\u2026\u201d he\u00a0tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n
