An ambush confrontation with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), which has since gone viral, stood as further proof that woke activists aren’t interested in conversations, only in scoring political points and imposing their ideology on the masses.
Fulfilling his commitment and cementing his steadfast support of the Second Amendment, Cruz was in Houston, Texas on Friday to give a speech at the National Rifle Association (NRA) Convention deemed controversial by corporate media because of the tragic massacre in Uvalde, Texas Tuesday. While having a meal at a sushi restaurant, the senator was asked for a photo with Benjamin Hernandez before the activist attempted to catch Cruz off-guard with his questions on gun control.
Representing the group Indivisible Houston that claims their “mission is to build an inclusive coalition at the Houston level, to fight the rise of tyranny in America” which they consider former President Donald Trump’s administration to be a part of, Hernandez grew increasingly hostile toward Cruz until security interceded and had to drag the man away.
“19 children died! 19 children died!” Hernandez can be heard shouting. “That’s on your hands! Ted Cruz, that’s on your hands!”
The version of the video that went viral was filmed by someone at the restaurant from afar and only includes the portion of the video where the activist is removed from the dining area. Naturally, the left jumped on this as behavior that should be championed, arguing that Cruz should not be allowed peace in public, while also maligning him for allegedly dismissing the concerns of the activist.
Ted Cruz should never get to show his face in public without being screamed at for the rest of his life https://t.co/zGqOjpjVSJ

How does the rest of the restaurant just let him go back to eating and not join in?

Some even argued for considerable violence to be taken against all of the attendees at the convention, proving that the concern of the left is not with violence in and of itself, but solely with who that violence is committed against.
Be a real shame if someone went vigilante style on him and all nra ppl with their own guns, wouldn’t it be ironic

For his part, Cruz maintained his composure throughout the encounter and attempted to offer up a measured response despite being interrupted. “What about background checks?” Hernandez continually repeated prompting Cruz to point out, “Alright, you don’t want to listen to me.”
When given the chance to speak, the senator noted that the laws being pushed for would have been ineffectual at Robb Elementary School and that there are legitimate measures that have been called for to curb similar tragedies from occurring, “If you look at the laws Democrats [inaudible] they wouldn’t stop these mass murders.”
Hernadez persisted with his talking points, however, prompting Cruz to state, “You combined ignorance and hatred..You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Had the activist been seeking an actual dialogue, he would have heard the senator explain his stance on school safety which, as he presented to the convention, had been blocked by Democrats.

“I don’t know of any reporter whose asked even a single Democrat why they filibustered bipartisan gun violence legislation that could’ve made a real difference saving lives,” Cruz said during his speech. He went on to detail his bill with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that would have increased funding for school safety, up to and including hiring veterans to protect kids if need be.

However, members of Indivisible Houston, like Hernandez, were too busy staging political hits against the senator to actually educate themselves on the issues.

So, tell me again what role the NRA or Ted Cruz played in this tragedy? The crazy left wing loon shooter was not a member of the NRA. The liberal Teacher that opened the outside door of the school is the one responsible for allowing this 18 year old basket case into the school. Other wise he would have never made entry. One entry and exit point with an armed guard would have prevented this. Democrats
I’ll say it once again, liberal ignorance. The only person responsible for the shooting is the criminal, the other is the teacher who propped a door open to the school which allowed him to get in. Parents if you are angry at someone , start there. I know I’d be livid if I found out the school was not secure. Absolutely our schools should be protected with trained armed staff. And if you think republicans haven’t tried, think again. Democrats have been against police, against school resource officers, claiming police make kids scared, which is bs.
I’d hate to see the teacher’s life ruined because she did exactly what has probably been done hundreds of times. Schools are full of easily broken glass, even a small panel in hardened entry doors. Any object could be used to break the glass, reach in and unlock/open the door or window. You aren’t going to stop a bad guy from entering unless you’re standing in the right spot at the right time and alert enough to meet him with force (aka, a gun). You will be his first target.
People die every second in Chicago and Nee York,, but you don’t see the leftest going bananas
You know, the investigation is still ongoing and these poor children and two teachers haven’t even been laid to rest. You frigging liberals need to pay attention to the current time line. The police arrived 2 minutes after the wacko entered the school; three police officers went in LITERALLY 2 minutes later, followed by another four, three were shot. In those first 2 minutes that wacko fired 100+ rounds into 2 classrooms. Those angels were already gone, which is something every law enforcement officer there will have to live with for the rest of their lives and I personally pray they find a way to cope and live with this. Were there mistakes, probably. Were they deliberate, I’d bet my last dollar not. That will not make their guilt any less. Why did the teacher leave the door propped open? Smoke break, maybe. Is a cigarette worth 21 lives? Where was the SRO? If there is any blame to be placed, there is plenty to go around. Until you’ve walked in another man’s shoes, you liberals need to keep you damn opinions to yourself unless you want to have a civilized grownup discussion, which it is obvious you don’t. Being a Monday morning quarterback is one of the easiest jobs in the world.
You cant reason with idiots
The con is to try to incite a cop or MAGA or conservative into bad behavior then start the video. Or filing that start the video when you are being removed.
These liberals have no idea of what they are “defending”. Biden is the good guy, Republicans are the Bad Guys. other than that… It was all Pres.Trumps fault.
Listening to video’s like these where the idiots just want yell, scream and shout at the Republicans/Conservatives, they don’t care what they look like, they refuse to listen, they refuse to make sense. They don’t even care if they don’t make a point!!! They are mindless morons and .. I apologize to those out there that are Morons and know it!…. They refuse to listen to reason, discuss facts and most of all… Question WHY they were told what they were told. Do they research anything? Apparently not…*facepalm*
I wish Tucker would stop telling these nutjobs to do this BS!
Oh wait… It’s the nutjobs at MSNBC/CNN telling them. Oh well…
