Cruz on S.C. Shooting being Politicized

"Ted Cruz, ..weighed in on the Charleston shooting and said we should all come together, denounce the crime Roof committed and pray for the victims’ families. He described Roof’s actions as “horrifying” and “the face of evil.”


It is a shame that there are some in politics that want to use this tragedy to divide us. I think that’s wrong. But I also think there’s a qualitative difference between that and protecting the Bill of Rights– protecting the constitutional rights to keep and bear arms of law-abiding citizens, which is all together different and unconnected from a horrific murder committed by a sick and deranged individual."
He also criticized Obama for using tragedies to target law-abiding citizens instead of the criminals who commit these heinous acts. In fact, in 2010, the Obama administration only prosecuted 44 of roughly 50,000 felons and fugitives trying to buy guns. Cruz said that’s absolutely unacceptable, and I think everyone can agree on that." ChicksOnTheRight
