"If they succeed in doing that, the people who would will be hurt the most are low-income Americans, many of them are African Americans, many of them are Hispanic," he added."They are the ones that are often the victims of murder, the victims of violence. But theSunday's fatal police shooting of 20-year-old Wright in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, has reignited racial justice protests and the progressives' calls to divest from policing budgets.

In the wake of Wright's death, Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib tweeted,"It wasn't an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist. Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder.

Better yet, abolish politicians?

tedcruz Since when do you give a fuck about low income families This is the real news here

tedcruz That didn't work for Trump and it certainly won't work for the likes of tedcruz

tedcruz Then why didn't you vote for the $1400 relief check? Low-income Americans needed it the most and you spat in their faces.

tedcruz He doesn’t actually care about low income Americans

It is very disturbing that TC believe that people are asking for the Police to be abolished.

tedcruz No matter how much you polish Cruz turd, it is still a turd...

tedcruz What does he think they're doing now?

They suffer now with you representing them.

Any politician who runs away from his own constituents knowing that they need help and then blames it on his wife can only say two words to me. I resign.

tedcruz

tedcruz This man is dangerous with HIS LIES and should NOT be in the senate.

They defunded the police in white neighborhoods a long time ago.

Texas can go ahead and just leave the Union so we can get Teddy Boy out of Congress.

tedcruz doesnt care about low-income Americans. He doesn’t even care about Americans, only himself.

I believe all armed law enforcement officers should be federal employees. Time and time again, we see police behaving with unbridled temperament, probably due to poor or inconsistent vetting processes across the nation. It could reduce racial discord.

tedcruz

tedcruz This is a lie

tedcruz Ted Cruz would like to see summary executions by police for traffic infractions.

I guess SenTedCruz was just concerned about the suffering of low-income Americans when he left them in the cold Togo to Cancun. GOPHypocrisy

this dam political terrorist, nobody wants to abolish the police, ted cruz needs to go legislate or help his constituents, instead of just stirring the pot on some ideas that are never going to happen

tedcruz Low income Americans are already suffering! So is the middle class!

tedcruz What about the poor who are having their right to vote made even harder by you republicans

SenTedCruz the ball less wonder...

tedcruz Cruz is gonna rip his belt before he rips on the left

tedcruz “Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner called him, a phrase he’s used before for Cruz. “The most miserable son of a bitch I ever had to deal with.” WordsOfWisdom

tedcruz As long as there’s private security in River Oaks to walk your dog, what do you care? Go back to Cancun.

tedcruz I don't mind when these people say abolish the police. All they do when they say that is turn away the people that are on the fence about who they want to vote for when they going into the booth.

tedcruz radical ? leftist ? racist ? Doesn’t quite fit. Cruz thinks he’s outsmarting trumpy texans.

tedcruz Ted wants the poor and left side to suffer

tedcruz So when mattgaetz shared his victims with you did you turn him in?

tedcruz If tedcruz Cared about low income families he would’ve given tax breaks to these Americans instead of his wealthy corporate donors.

has cruz ever met a low income American ?

tedcruz Cruz picked one Tweet from a frustrated black woman dealing with the constant news of cops murdering African Americans while rich white conservatives protect the blue thugs, and ran eith it hoping to erase his shame and failure. He is forever tainted. He needs to RESIGN

tedcruz That is their plan, manufactured discontent coupled with a false narrative of racism will help them with the communist/socialist revolution they are seeking. That's why they incite and facilitate riots. This is sedition, arrest them all. Treason is a crime.

Do republicans understand how thin the veneer has gotten when they use the poors as a reaction to the threat of any change to their braindead, dogshit policies? The only time it seems they care about hurting the poors is in reference to policies that may inconvenience the 1%

tedcruz Is he wrong about the need for police protection being greatest in our poorest communities? I haven’t seen anyone challenge his assertion because it’s obviously true?

As if he actually cares about Americans. That's a laugh.

tedcruz LOSER!

tedcruz Ted Cruz actually got a cop killed but he would like to talk about the imaginary policies 'radical leftists' have. GQP reality is more dangerous than even the left fantasy world they rant against.

tedcruz I live in a small town and we had our police department disbanded due to high costs. This should have never happened.

tedcruz Who are the victims of Blm antifa rioting looting and arson during the summer of love 100+ days of crime last year? It sure wasn’t the top ten %

tedcruz Cruz is always ripping someone but never does anything

tedcruz I can't stand cruz... that said, he's right. What kind of mental midget believes removing the physical representation of the rule of law will work? It's this body that insulates society at large from law-abiding and law-breaking and if removed will cost innocent lives.

tedcruz When he needs a police escort?

tedcruz Low-income Americans are already suffering at the hands of police.

tedcruz Like You really care about low income Americans!!! CANCUN CRUZ !

tedcruz Yeah, Ted says a lot of things that aren't true. That's why he's known as Lyin' Ted in Texas.

tedcruz Ted Cruz stop trying to cover up the fact that you're actually the zodiac killer

tedcruz No police = Anarchy

tedcruz

tedcruz cops chiefly harm poor people, especially if they are not white.

tedcruz I’m sure you were really worried about suffering Americans when they were dying from the cold and you went to Mexico.

tedcruz If Ted Cruz cared about low-income Americans, he would vote for the $1400 relief bill. He should rip himself.

Teddy, feel free to go to Hell!

The drama played by the Real Househusbands in the US Senate. Stop giving them media coverage

Does anyone really think Ted has any credibility? He’ll say anything at anytime if he thinks it will get him 1 more vote.

Ted Cruz....Lucifer in the flesh. Rest my case.
