Many outraged Republican voters said over the weekend that they were switching their votes from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to Donald Trump because they were concerned that the Texas senator may support the rights of Black Lives Matter protesters after he admonished the billionaire GOP front-runner for encouraging violence at his rallies.
After Trump chose to call off a rally in Chicago on Friday because of organized protests, Cruz said at a press conference that the campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment where the candidate urges supporters to engage in violence.
On Sunday, Cruz told ABC host George Stephanopoulos that it would be wrong for protesters to try to shut down a political rally, but he said that it was also Trumps responsibility not to incite violence among his supporters.
Many conservative voters, however, saw Cruzs attack on Trump as de facto support for Black Lives Matter.
