Essentially, he wants the NYPD to break the law and its agreement with the justice department that ended an ethnic-targeted CT program with no civilian oversight.
Ah yes, UntrusTed proves again that he isn’t ready to be POTUS. Instead of outlining his idea and explaining how it would keep everyone, including Muslims safe, UntrusTed takes the simple (and predictable) route and blames Obama and deBlaiso for Bratton no longer spying on mosques in New Jersey. Cruz is such a turd.
TedDefault strikes again! Damn those darn libruls and their ability to recognize really, really stupid ideas.
It’s ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS someone else’s fault for your total insanity GOP…
Yeah, because the NYPD neverI has a problem contradicting the Mayor of New York, especially a liberal one like DiBlasio.
I wonder if Cruz will intervene on my gym’s “One Towel Per Member” rule?
Ted could have used his moment in the spotlight when he was going after drumpf for going after Heidi by being brave and reminding people that drumpf’s long time MO is going after women. Heidi unfortunately was just the latest one, but more prominent women have been on the receiving end of drumpf’s misogyny than one pol’s wife who with any luck will disappear along her husband before too long.
Carnival Cruz completely, purposely overlooks the fact that any unit that was patroling places that Muslims live failed to generate secure levels of intelligence.
It DID, however, generate a lot of resentment amongst the Muslim community which worked against local LEO’s. But, as everyone here has pointed out in the past, he’s just screaming to him rage filled base that believes they alone have ideas that are just “common sense.”
Well, at least he didn’t blame the media. Yet.
I was thinking that the De Blasio administration and the NYPD were in cahoots… they always speak with such a united voice that is never ever critical of the other. Then there’s President Obama, who plays such a strong role… a father figure you could say, for the NYPD. I just hope the police union doesn’t overplay it’s hand and show themselves for the true President Obama fangirls they really are.
So typical. Seems like every other day we have something like this:
GOP : < A comment that excites base but rest of country thinks is insane and/or stupid! >
Media : That comment was insane and/or stupid
GOP : It’s the media’s fault everyone thinks that is insane and/or stupid!
No GOP, the reason people think it is insane and/or stupid is because it is insane and/or stupid. The fact that your base doesn’t recognize that is a reflection on your base, not the media.
"Cruz said police should be patrolling Muslim neighborhoods. He later clarified that his plan didn’t mean police would be “targeting Muslims.”
Really? Then who do you think they’d be targeting then?
You are a complete lying asshole!
“Common sense” isn’t very common, and is certainly different from a knee jerk reaction.
I wish these politicians would think before shooting off their mouths.
Here we have a glimpse of a Cruz presidency where “common sense” and ideology trumps all, blame ALWAYS falls elsewhere and rights and equality are dismissed as trivial…god fucking help us…
I’m actually okay with that accusation.
Funny thing about arsonists and bridges…
What? No hate for the Media in his laundry list? sheesh…Ted must be off his feed today.
So basically Cruz just called Bratton a spineless wimp who lies to the public.
TPM:
“[New York Police Commissioner Bill] Bratton has a difficult job, and I am grateful for all he does to keep the people of New York safe. I also understand that politically, he has no choice but to implement the de Blasio-Obama liberal agenda,” Cruz wrote …
I can’t speak for President Obama, but as a New Yorker, on behalf of my fellow city denizens, the mayor, and the NYPD:
Ted Cruz, please go fuck yourself with a subway car pole wired to the third rail, you blubbering blithering right-wing sociopath jackass.
