LAMONI, Iowa U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on Saturday night condemned the fatal shooting of three people at a Planned Parenthood location in Colorado while urging caution regarding the suspects motives.

Unfortunately, one of my friends in the Texas Group received a hide from a jury because the jury saw the pronoun "you" and thought that an insult was aimed in my direction. Juries do not know whether the relationships between members hold any animosity and they did not catch on to the ambiguity being directed towards a GOP politician instead.
