Things Get Heated After Deranged Activist Confronts Ted Cruz at Dinner – Opinion

After the massacre at Uvalde Elementary School in Texas, Ted Cruz is now a top target of the Left.

Cruz made headlines when he said that we should do more to secure our schools. This prompted sharp criticism from others who claimed that single-entry configurations could be dangerous and would cause fires. The senator’s suggestion was quickly vindicated after it was later revealed the shooter walked through an unlocked back door and that there was no armed SRO present (initial reports said there was).

Still, the left is nothing if it isn’t irrationally hysterical, and that led to a heated interaction at a Houston-area restaurant on Saturday. An activist named Benjamin Hernandez, who states he was previously an illegal immigrant, began to shout that Cruz had “blood on his hands” before attempting to possibly physically confront the senator. The man screamed at Cruz and was stopped by security.

Ted Cruz was last night eating in a restaurant and someone interrupted him.

I can’t say for sure what this man’s intentions were. If he weren’t being held back, trying to push his way through, but had instead been able to walk straight up to the table, would he have actually hit Cruz? I don’t know, but he certainly seemed to be wanting a physical altercation.

However, such behavior is totally uncalled-for and potentially dangerous. There is no need for deranged and random partisans to confront politicians over dinner. I don’t agree with Joe Biden and think his policies are incredibly harmful to people (including millions of unborn babies), yet I would never try to confront him at dinner with his wife. That’s the stuff of imbeciles, and nothing positive can come from taking such action.

Besides, how is the shooting in Uvalde Ted Cruz’s fault? Although the man who was in the video brought up background checks for the shooter, he passed them. The shooter also ran around outside the school for 12 minutes shooting, before even entering — while the police did nothing, waiting another hour before Border Patrol agents finally made their own call to go in and neutralize the shooter. Cruz didn’t cause that to happen. He didn’t cause the hate in the shooter’s heart. He has not been responsible for the deaths of these innocent children. To suggest such is lunacy, and it’s an escalation of politics that can only lead to very dark places.

If Cruz, who is accused of literally murdering children as the lunatic claims, then everything is possible. That’s the logical conclusion to be drawn from that kind of rhetoric.

All this must stop. The left thinks there is no line when it comes down to their reactions to political differences. Eventually, it’s going to lead to another event like the Congressional baseball practice shooting.
