Authorities looking into threat against Ted Cruz

Law enforcement officials are investigating a threat against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who was vaulted into national prominence with his push to defund ObamaCare.


A person identifying himself as Troy Gilmore Jr., posted on Twitter Friday morning: “Take down Ted Cruz, at his home” and listed Cruz’s home address in Houston.


“What goes around comes around CRUZ!!” the person wrote.

liberals look like the aggressors and bad guys? I would hope that no liberal would ever do something like that.

productive to look into the Boehner/McConnell GOP wing, as they hate him.

and tearing up his signs? And he was faking the whole thing? The attorney guy with the little girl he used as a prop?

That's what this reminds me of.

that's not the way to go. We're better than that. I hope this is the only case of something like this.

...here on DU, but NO ONE EVER threatened his life, EVER! If they did, they were shunned and then banned. Liberal and Progressive Dems just don't roll that way. We never did.
